Please strongly support this effort.

Hey Jerry -

Very nice of you to donate stuff to the cause.

I have to ask you what's up with this stuff?

6-29mm closures with 180 case 419.70 4-38mm closures with 480 case 360.00 54mm closures with 2560 case 159.95

Are these useable with anyone's reloads or are you just cleaning out your junk box?

Since you are a pure troll, no comment.

And your throwaway compliment was properly ignored.

Jerry

I was curious what that stuff was also. 6 29mm closures with a single case?

Just curious, not trolling.

These are sets. EACH set has closures and a case (a complete system).

The target market for the product "gets it" and should anyone win it that does not "get it", they wll be educated individually.

In the mean time, look who supports this cause. I urge you to BUY products NOW from the supporting vendors with your hard earned CASH. Vote with your dollars.

Jerry

Trolls go elsewhere. Patriots, welcome.

Still selling motors and reloads, without proper permits, huh jerry?

Then you trolled. Of course. Everything offered (forfre) through saverocketrynow.com is perfectly legal and permit free.

That clarifies it in perpetuity.

I wasn't convinced the first round would be effective, and I'm just as unconvinced a second go-round will do better. The first time the $70K in funds generated very few new members for NAR and/or TRA. We'd have been better off just sending the bucks straight to the legal fund.

The first time we did this was an experiment. While I wouldn't call it a failure, because we did get a small blip in membership, and learned a bit about advertizing, it wasn't an experiment worth repeating.

You seem to be getting your wish. Only a fraction of the funds are directed to outreach.

Jerry

You want me to post a compliment in a seperate message? Ain't gonna happen. I did mean it.

Sounds like a yes to my junk box question.

Bob, while I mostly agree with you, I believe at least a dozen favorable major media articles came out with the "story" (safe all american hobby beleagured & under siege) as a result of the campaign.

granted, that's a "soft" result but hey we gotta start somewhere and we gotta try a bunch of different things, "hard" (lawsuits) and "soft" (getting the word out whereever and however).

looking for hard results from this, new members, may be misleading. in fact it's dismal because each new member cost like $5000. clearly not worth it that way.

besides, raffles are fun. if tix were tax-deductable (503c?) I could buy a bunch more.

1. It was also commercially revenue positive for this contributing vendor, thus making it a good investment.
2. The clubs themselves have policies adverse to getting and retaining new members. That cannot be fixed by the saverocketrynow.com effort or any of its vendors.

As I have been saying on rmr (to deaf ears) for a decade now, that can only be fixed by TRA and NAR and they are strongly disinclined.

I was interviewed for one of those spin-off articles that appeared during NARAM last summer in the Chicago Sun Times. The articles were all spinoffs of the Wall Street Journal article that Bunny and others worked on getting out for 6 months. THey had nothing to do with SaveRocketryNow.

Vendors should be able to track that new customers came to their web sites from saverocketrynow. Where are the dollar reports from PML, LOC, Aerotech, et al that total up to $70k. If you don't have the dollar income to back up the expenditure, it's foolish to repeat the effort. NAR invested $1000 in the campaign and got about TEN new NAR members from it.

I think NIRA got ONE new person to show up at one of our meeting a year ago fromt he advertizing/web campaign.

The FlyRockets.com site tracks stats of all clicks out of the site. Any vendor can track referrers in their web logs, as well.

To see vendor clickthroughs for the 2 weeks during the show go to :

same data for clubs at

Yes, this is old data, from around the time of the show airing. I'll run some updated stats just for fun.

The site still sees about 800 visitors a day, decent traffic.

I will restate, your efforts on this project are VERY apperciated and well noticed.

Greg has done a fantastic job supporting all of these efforts and has invested a lot of his own time and resources in making it all happen.

Yea - it gives Jerry a chance to get rid of some of the junk motor hardware in his basement.
