November 21, 201510 yr It's actually listed on YouTube as "In Support og the Bill of Rights". You may want to fix that first. I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet, I will try tonight if not I will tomorrow and then spread the link after. I would just suggest fixing that at least before people start passing this around.
November 21, 201510 yr Author Hi, We noticed the typo (og instead of of) awhile ago. I'll get to it as soon as I can. But in the meantime, if you do a Youtube search with "In Support of the Bill of Rights" our video comes up. But thanks, I will fix the typo soon. Dwight
November 21, 201510 yr Author I just went to my Youtube page. They will not allow the editing of an existing title. I would have to remove the video and re-upload it. That would then change the url and those that are passing it to other people by that url will not be able to connect. So, I'm sorry for the f to g typo. But we are going to have to live with it. I'll take my lashes with the old wet noodle. Thanks all, Dwight
November 21, 201510 yr We made ammoland http://www.ammoland.com/2015/11/rico-case-brought-against-state-of-new-jersey-over-obstruction-of-gun-rights/#axzz3s8W2gJaH
November 21, 201510 yr Let me start by thanking you for fighting the good fight. I found the video very informative and easy to understand. That being said if I were not interested in 2nd Amendment rights there is no way I could have finished watching or should I say listening to the narration. The monotone delivery is a real turn off. My wife came into the room to see what was on because she could not believe how bad it was. Because of the poor quality of the voice over I don't think the casual viewer would spend 5 minutes listening to it. I'm not sure if it can be edited at this point without changing the URL but having narration by a person with a little emotion in their voice would go a long way to make the video a better viewing experience.
November 22, 201510 yr I agree, I think it will stand a much higher chance of being watched past the first 45 seconds if you don't have a robo voice reading it. It may be worth changing the url now, there are only 75 views.
November 22, 201510 yr I got up to the part that said "let us begin" before stopping the video. You would absolutely be better off having a human being narrate the video. As said in the previous post, doing it sooner rather than later would yield more success.
November 22, 201510 yr I'd rather hear nicer narrative too but the vid is about the content and I thought that was worth listening to and well done.
November 22, 201510 yr Its the computer generated anonymous voice. Im sure they did that for a reason.
November 23, 201510 yr Author Well, seems we have been taken to the woodshed. A little note on the production of the video and a general remark concerning all the criticism of it. This video that some people and their wives so dislike, is actually the second generation of it. The first one we used my voice and I hated every word and syllable I uttered. The microphone I used was a high quality one, but the the speaker, me, not so much. The SAPPA Group does not have money to hire a professional videographer and an experienced orator so, as with everything we have done on this project over the past 3 years, we did it ourselves. We did seek out Obama, he's such a fine speaker, but he was busy kissing Muslim ass. We found that even though we have posted, step by step, everything we have done to date on the websitet, we were still getting questions which had been answered or displayed on the web site. The idea of the voice over video with associated graphics, quietly and calmly explaining the law suit, where it has been and where it is headed, seemed like a good idea. Easier to sit back for a few minutes and listen than it is to read through the multiple letters and motions we have filed. For those who were more interested in being entertained than they were about this process and the battle we are waging for your rights, it is really quite disheartening to know that the over 100 hours of graphic work, writing the text, transforming it into a voice file and syncing the subject to the graphic could not hold your interest for more than 5 seconds, I suggest maybe you might prefer watching some reruns of Gunsmoke. Exciting, its got guns and as opposed to our video, some of them are quite entertaining. Finally, it might be interesting to note that out of the almost 100 people, since we posted it Wed, who viewed or partially viewed because of instant boredom, most of the comments were positive. In fact the only negative remarks came from this forum. Finally, I would like to promise that any future informational presentations will be more entertaining, But I won't because I don't lie. I'll still post updates and progress reports here but if we produce another monotonous, boring video presentation, most likely you won't find a link to it here. Regards, Dwight
November 23, 201510 yr Not to worry Dwight. It was fine. I'm sure we all appreciate what you guys are trying to accomplish. Big thumbs up!
November 23, 201510 yr Sorry. I guess I'll just toss my money into the hat and hope for the best instead. ::shrug::
November 23, 201510 yr Chill. Constructive criticism. Thats all it is. I watched the entirety of it. And yes it is laid out well and is informative of the movement. Wouldnt it be less tedious and faster just to storm the statehouse by the pitchfork wielding villagers. It is funny how instead of saying isn't. The computer voice says is n t.
November 23, 201510 yr Hey ill do your voice over for you. The ladies like it. No. Seriously. I can do voice overs.

Regards, Dwight i don't think the guys are trying to be dicks. also.....your voice was more than liklely fine. remember.....we are all our own worst critics. for the longest time, i would not do my own answering machine message at my shop, 'cause i can't stand how my voice sounds to me on recordings. i finally listened to enough people and did it.....and it's been fine. other than that.......keep up the good fight sirs!
November 23, 201510 yr I'm sorry if my comment was offensive, it was meant to be constructive and to point out a possible way of getting people that are not as interested in guns as I am to watch the video. I have watched the whole video and I think it's a very good explanation of who you are and what you are trying to accomplish. I have already shared the video on a few websites, but those are all firearm related sites. I was pointing out that someone not so interested in firearms might not be captivated immediately to finish watching it. Again, my apologies, no offense was meant. I very much appreciate your hard work, and eagerly follow your updates.

Regards, Dwight My comments were in no way an attempt to denigrate any of the fine work you are doing and as others have said is just constructive criticism. It is in all of our interests to get this message out to as many people as possible in a way that will make people listen who may not be as passionate as us about this issue. I have spoken in front of hundreds of people many times and appeared in numerous stage productions as well as spent years performing in local bands. I have been told by numerous people that I have a very good speaking and singing voice and truth be told I am never happy with the way I sound on playback so I totally understand your reticence to use your own voice. If you make another video I offer to do the voice over for it. I am certain it will meet your standards
November 23, 201510 yr There Dwight Now i hope you understand. Hey its NJ. Were here to bust balls but look out for our brothers. Shawn m. Are you listening. Were here for you.
November 23, 201510 yr Author Hi All, The follow up outreach from you guys on this video thing is very nice. Thanks, We have been working many hours and have lots of irons in the fire. As a result I may have responded to the critiques in a manner that they didn't deserve. For that I wish to step back a bit, I know every one of you are on the right side of this. I have discussed this with Nick and we decided, in the effort to do things as best we can, under the circumstances we are working in, to redo the video using a human voice. One of our WPE members has told me he knows a professional voice over guy who would do the oration for free. I have already sent him the text file. If we use it I will have lots of work to sync the new up with the old. Also Golf Battery has volunteered to do a voice over for us. That would be super. So if you can do that please do. I would be more acceptable to using one of us here in the forum than I would the guy my buddy has suggested. Anyone on this forum is welcome to send in his efforts. Please email me at [email protected] and I will send you the narrative file. On another subject we have just posted an article on the meaning of the Second Amendment. You might find my research and take on it interesting. http://www.tpath.org/the-militia-the-people-the-colon.html ============ Thanks again, Dwight
November 24, 201510 yr Dwight ill take you up on that. I emailed you. Just let me know what voice format : and ill work on it. : i read that brief statement you wrote.

November 24, 201510 yr YOU GUYS made ammoland. It should be "Youse Guys" But not to derail this, any word on what is going on with the Judges?
November 25, 201510 yr Author Hey all, On Monday Nick made a call to the office of the Chief Judge in Camden concerning our request to investigate the Court Clerk in Trenton District Court. As usual they tried to give him the run around, but as usual he managed to squeeze information out of them that they reluctantly had to give. Until we get confirmation on what that Court intends to do we have to keep details of that conversation out of the public. We will be posting more on this on Monday afternoon. I'll drop a message here when that gets done. Regards, Dwight
