We are doing a series called Ameri-CAN. Talking about the CAN-DO spirit that is part of our American DNA. So much about our lives has been turned upside down by this Corona Virus / Covid-19, and we have been hearing a lot about what we CAN’T do and where we CAN’T go, but our guests during this series are going to talk to us about their area of expertise and all of the ways we still CAN learn and grow, train, connect, and expand our freedoms in ways we maybe haven’t thought about before.
Our guest today is Holly Sullivan. Holly currently serves as the President of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a 27,000 member non-partisan grassroots organization devoted to advocating rights affirmed by the Constitution of the United States and the State of Connecticut.
She has also donated her time and energy to be the CT delegate for The DC Project: Women for Gun Rights, an educational, nonpartisan group of women from all 50 states who advocate for Second Amendment education over legislation. Gun rights are women’s rights and every woman must be prepared to be their own first responder. Women gun owners make firearms safety and education a top priority.
1) You took the helm as the President of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL) just last year. Talk about the right person for the right time! Talk to us about that changing of the guard…and the fact that you are the only female President of a CDL.
2) The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL) announced today that it has filed a lawsuit in United States District Court against Governor Ned Lamont and several municipal police chiefs to stop their blatant and ongoing violations of the CCDL members’ right to keep and bear arms, as well as other constitutional rights.
3) You are a mom and a gun owner. With the mom-shaming that is hurled our way by freedom-hating, anti-gun “Moms Demand” group, what would you say to the millions of brand new first-time gun owners to help them not buckle under the pressure that these kinds of groups and their Celebrity spokespeople pile on us?
4) You dedicate a lot of your time to the protection and preservation of our Constitutional Freedoms and Liberties. Where did this passion come from?
