NCOM Convention in Reno Nevada
Saturday, 06 June 2009 10:17

NCOM

-- by Gary Kiser

 

First I would like to thank ABATE of SC and the AIM/NCOM attorney John Daugs for sending me to this convention.  It was an educational experience for me to attend such a convention.  Next year it is going to be in Fl and if you can you should go.  Hopefully it will be as beneficial to you as it was to me.  It reaffirmed that the fight for our rights we are fighting here is SC is being fought all across the country.  We may have different issues but we are all fighting the same fight, to live our life as we choose.  I met people from across the country that are willing to help us, if we ask and only if we ask, any way they can.  One of the people I met was Jesse, I don’t remember his last name, who was one of the founding members of ABATE of SC.  He was an interesting person to talk to.  I learnt some things about ABATE of SC early days.  I also learnt about what he is currently doing.  He is a good contact person who understands our constitution.  Soldiers for Jesus, a Christian club and Survivors, MC, a Clean and Sober club, hosted hospitalities rooms.  I attended both and was made welcome without having anyone’s personal beliefs being pushed on me.
