Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
We are counting down, the general assembly for the state of GA opens up on January 14, this is going to be a short session this year probably ending in early to mid-March given that this is an election year and the members need to be out on the campaign trail for the November elections.
I want to thank everyone that has reached out with offers of assistance. Now is the time we need your assistance. Given the short legislative period this year the Georgia Military Vehicle Owners need to be properly represented if we are going to get changes to the law to allow registration of newer vehicles.
I have called in some favors to get us this far, but as we all know favors only go so far.
I had posted earlier that the cost of our lobbyist is approximately $2,200-3000. I finished setting up a new PayPal account for this cause. You can donate via PayPal using credit cards etc. Choose the sending friends option when sending a donation ensures that the full amount makes it to the front lines.

This is a separate account to track the activity that comes into the account. If those that donated are worried on where their donations are going, I will be happy to produce a log of the activity personally with that individual.
I would like to thank Commander Z who has been helpful in communication, research and any efforts that he can do to assist in this battle to date. I love how he thinks out of the box and his offer to donate his time for projects that he can accomplish for the cause represents the spirit of a great SS member. I took him up on a project and have committed the first $250.00 to our fund. At this time he does not need to be working on my projects but helping others help all of us.

I talked to the legislative side today and the draft of the changes in the law that I drafted earlier are going to be reviewed hopefully tomorrow before going to the legislative counsel for legal review.
Why Should I donate?
1.) If you live in Georgia and ever want to own a military vehicle newer than 1986 you should donate or it is not happening
2.) If you live in another state and want to sell your newer vehicle to a Georgia resident you should donate or it is not happening
3.) If you live anywhere in the United States and would like to own/or own a military vehicle newer than 1986, improving the laws in Georgia helps the overall political landscape for owning military vehicles nationwide
Remember donations of any size are helpful.
p.s. I hate raising money so thanks for reading this post and any assistance you can provide
If it's a BMY, it isn't legal....i know the guy that owns the peppers vault in kennesaw has a tagged m923a2 and he drives it to work , maybe you could call and ask him

Roboo Hello from the other side of the POND That is a great question. Paypal allows a user to use your credit card with a paypal account and not put money into paypal. Most e-bay transactions are all purchased via paypal acting as a clearing house and that is why Paypal is so popular. The downside is that you have to have a paypal account. They are easy to get and do not cost any money unless you purchase something or donate to our great cause.Swiss and Zout,
Its getting late here and I am a bit overworked, so maybe a bit dense as well. Zout, your argument of the lot of small donations is correct, although I never managed to get it working to our organization. Then again, I am not bad in some things I do but certainly am a lousy marketing man even for my own cause. Whatever.
Swiss, maybe put a direct link to how to donate in your signature? As said, I am a wee bit tired here and without money on PayPal its a bit unclear to me how to donate to this cause using a CC.
