the 2nd amendment sisters
SECOND AMENDMENT SISTERS Inc. was founded in 1999 by five women who got together
on the internet. Deb Altrath of New Jersey, Juli Bednarzyk
of Illinois, Dianne Sawyer of South Carolina, Marinelle Thompson
of Texas, and Kim Watson of Florida discovered they had something in common -
that they didn't want the anti-rights Million Mom March to speak for them. For five months these women, along with a small
but dedicated group of volunteers, planned a rally of their own, using the internet to pull all the pieces together. None
of them had ever planned such an event before, but the combination of their personal skills and the "must-do" attitude of
their supporters enabled them to make a powerful statement on May 12, 2000 - that there were women to whom the Second Amendment
meant something, and to whom “gun control” was a false promise.
