KeepAndBearArms.com -- We announced at the beginning of Independence Month that we are having a Liberty Essay/Poetry contest. A list of submissions as of this notice is below. Click here for details on the contest.

We have chosen to extend the time period for submitting until the end of the day on July 27th.

We would enjoy hearing from new people. From people who love America and human liberty.

We would enjoy hearing from more women. From people who've never published a thing in their lives.

We'd like to know what is in your heart to say to your fellow liberty advocates.
