Good question. I was wondering the same thing.

Right now they need high-quality rechargeable flashlights -- the type that can be plugged-in to an electrical outlet.

They also are asking for large candles -- like 3 inch diameter by 8 inch height candles.

Thermal or nightvision (latest generations only please) is also very useful.

Radio transceivers -- shortwave, AM/FM, whatever gets the job done for emergency communications.

We'll be putting up a donation thing very soon so they can buy other supplies they need. If you have any of these or would like to obtain them, please contact me. You can email me at shaun@makethestand.com or call at 815-979-3885. We can make arrangements to get the supplies to Ed and Elaine.

Can those items be delivered via UPS, fed Ex, etc.?

I am on Long Island and visit Ed as much as I can. I would be willing to run supplies up if need be. I called Reno about an hour ago and he said they need food, both perishable and non-perishable.

And they could really use more people there who know how to handle a gun. But food is concern number 1 right now.

And a thermal sight for their .50 cal couldnt hurt either Very Happy

Yes, they can be delivered UPS/etc. However, don't send it directly to Ed. If you have a care package, please contact me and we'll make arrangements to get it to Ed. Thanks

I'd like to send a card to Ed/Elaine/Reno. But, can it not be directly sent to their address?

I am also looking for someone to drive down to NH with me from Maine. Possibly Sunday night.

Also, is there a reason why the posts are showing up as dated for Friday? Or, is it just my comp?

Cards are fine -- mail should still arrive I would think. I will check with them to make sure. However, PACKAGES may be a different story. I would not count on UPS/Fedex to keep delivering there...Send a package and it might be confiscated unlawfully.

Asking here is a good place. Perhaps we should make a forum for this sort of thing...

It is your user profile settings. Go to PROFILE at the top of forum -- http://www.makethestand.com/forum-editprofile.html Then find timezone. If you are on the East Coast, it should be set to GMT - 4 right now to account for daylight savings time. Im in central time, and mine is set to - 5 and displays times/dates correctly.

That's a great idea. We should organize by State. I compiled an email/phone list of Truth Movement friends from Sitespaces. But, had yet to contact with anyone locally.

Also, if I go to visit (I talked briefly with Reno on Myspace about visiting), do I park at the entrance? Or drive up to the house?

I just found out this coming Sunday is out for visiting. But, the week after?

If anyone wants to go visit this weekend send me a message here. I'm hoping to drop off some supplies, it's supposed to be a nice weekend. I'm just north of Boston close to I93, I95 and RT495

I would LOVE to go down, this weekend. But, my schedule is messed up for a couple of weeks due to my ex getting a new job; thus, he won't be taking kids on usual days. I do intend to send a card,though. I have a 10 dollar Target card I'd like to send, if there's a Target nearby. Maybe a visitor could run out and get a couple things with it?

for those of us who don't have good transportation or enough funds to travel, may I suggest that we try to coordinate stops along the way to help with rest/food/sleep for those who are traveling to or from. May be a good way to hook up and carpool, collect supplies, etc. as well.

With the recent news we may be at a standstill and not need to go too much further with it (prayers). BUT, given how uncertain our entire future is at this time, we may want to prepare regardless.

For starters I am in Topeka, KS in the heart of the country. I sit along I-70 (E & W) and have close access to I-435.

Any ideas how to coordinate, if we need to coordinate, etc., let's figure it out. We may not have access to the internet in the near future so it would be good to have some kind of plan in action, or at least thought.

Peace!

Exactly naturechaos!

Network, network, network!

Let's start thinking like a business here. If we have say people in each state that work as a coordinator and a hauler, we can move supplies and people across this country, without ever leaving a 300km radis of our homes.. We don't need the corporations or the state mail service.

Ex. Someone in Georgia wants to move supplies and themselves to New Hampshire. If someone can drive them to Tennessee, I can drive them to V.A. From there, someone could take them midway up the state to meet someone else who takes them up to Maryland. Someone grabs them from Maryland and takes them up to New York, where another person picks them up and drives them to New Hampshire where someone else drives them to the Brown's.

If you coordinate times and people, you might be able to pick up more along the way. In this way supplies and people can be moved without huge expense to one person. I'm willing to donate five hours and a tank of gas. It might cost me, what? Fifty-fiat Federal Reserve notes to drive my Buick across the state?

And things are getting worse. Soon we need to be considering networks like this to save people's lives...

For those needing maps, you can order them from the tourism/chamber of commerce departments through state sites for free. If you can get Topo maps, those would be good as well.

Once again, the Internet and We the People can get this information without the state.

A laptop with Google Earth, a GPS unit. Or just good old interstate highway signs is about all you need.

We got up to see Ed & Elaine this past weekend. They're the nicest people! We brought some fruits and veggies and a couple candles. They didn't know us at all, but offered us something to drink and eat. A few more cars came in after us and I'd guess there was a dozen or more people there. People from NH and further away like Texas (they DROVE from texas!).

If you can make it up there you should go, even if its just to shake hands and say thank you.

Next time I can make it up I'll post and see if anyone's on my way from Boston. I take I93 to I89 (near concord) all the way to Plainfield if anyone is near that route.

I listened to Pastor Butch Paugh last night. He was talking with Dave Von Kleist in New Hampshire.
