As a few members here have already posted while we have been finalizing our involvement (Great job GTWannabe and moshaholic2!) ARFCOM and the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action have teamed up to support the Rock Island Auction Freedom Challenge.  



What is the Freedom Challenge?  (paraphrased and sourced from Rock Island Auction Freedom Challenge)



"Its a grassroots campaign created by the Rock island Auction Company to raise awareness and financial support for the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action (www.nraila.org) an organization that has stalwartly defended the Second Amendment for decades. As many of you already know, 2016 is the most important year we've seen in our generation.  The attack on the Second Amendment is clear: many politicians, government officials and members of the media look to destroy our Constitutional rights."



The challenge is this......If you have the ability to help financially, please do so HERE with a minimum amount of $5.00, each dollar donated will be matched by the good folks at Rock Island Auction up to $1 million of donated funds.  So for those of you that hate math, $5.00 donated equals $10.00, $10.00 dollars equals $20.00, etc.  



Here's how the Rock Island Challenge works:



Step One: Go to riafreedomchallenge.com accept the challenge!



Step Two: Give: Make a donation (minimum $5.00) in support of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action.



Step Three:   Challenge:  Invite your friends or family members to participate in the RIA Freedom Challenge.



Step Four:  Share www.riafreedomchallenge.com or your challenge via email or social media and include #RIAFreedomChallenge!



Part of this challenge process is (if you choose and not mandatory here) to challenge your friends, fellow patriots and family to join you in this challenge by making a video and posting it up of their site.  All the information you will need to fulfill that part of the challenge (again if you want) can be found at www.riafreedomchallenge.com



So far approximately $30,000 has been donated and matched by RIA...so that tallies it to approximately $60,000 raised thus far. So in usual ARFCOM fashion, let's see how we may help this to grow each day!



Now here's the ARFCOM twist:





As your NRA board member and Moderator of the NRA Activism Forum, I gathered my Avila Family together to see how we might become a "force multiplier" in this effort.  



So we decided that to add a little ARFCOM into the mix, for everyone who participates in the effort, we will enter you into a drawing for a custom built ARFCOM AR-15.







Once you participate, post up that you did and you'll be in the running.  As previously mentioned, we had a few great ARFCOMMERS already post this opportunity and you have responded in kind.  For those of you that have, please just post up on this thread and you'll be included as well.  



Now before all of you "legal eagles" jump in and ask about "California or New York Compliant, etc" this opportunity is void where prohibited and no substitutions will be made.  Of course you'll need to be of legal age, legal US status and be able to supply a FFL Dealer  to the great folks here on ARFCOM for processing.  Yes, this means that you may not be eligible if you are behind enemy lines like I am here in NY.



Apart from actually participating in the "challenge" you can also be included by volunteering for a pro-Second Amendment candidate, help to spread the word on those candidates, by taking action and becoming involved with NRA-ILA, becoming a NRA-ILA Grassroots Volunteer Signing up for NRA-ILA Daily alerts etc. Remember, no purchase or donation is necessary to participate in ARFCOM's Operation Double Down.  We always operate on a honor system, so post away.



Re-capping....Let's make it simple:



Once you participate in some manner, post up "I took the Challenge!"



Have some fun as we "double down" our efforts heading towards Election Day.



As always, should you have any questions, please feel free to IM me.





Approved by the Avila Family.
