Camp Constitution’s Six-Month Report 2021

 

  Since our move to Alton, NH in December, many doors have been opened to us.  Two churches in the area have offered their building for our use, and we have taken them up on their generous offers,  and conducted events at both churches.  Our monthly column in the weekly paper ‘The Weirs Times” has made us many new friends.  Recently, while running a few errands, a lady saw me coming out of or van, and thanked me for the article I did about Independence Day.   

  YouTube and Rumble Channels: 

We are averaging 5,000 views per month and 40 new subscribers/   Our most popular video is remains “The Battle of Lexington Reenactment.”  One of our videos an interview with Jim Perloff about Covid 19 or the Chinese Communist Party Virus was taken down, and we were given a warning.  We started an account on Rumble and plan to upload our new videos on the Rumble page   https://rumble.com/account/content?type=all and encourage readers to subscribe.

 

The Sam Blumenfeld Archive:

Over ½ million views, 12,500 downloads of “Alpha-Phonics, and over 1,000 downloads of Sam’s other books.  We received word from a teacher in Zimbabwe that his school of over 300 students is using Sam’s ‘Alpha-Phonics” after finding our archive on the web.  He asked for a donation of “Phonics for Success”, and we sent him a case of the books with plans to send more.

We continue to get new likes from our page.  We also admin about eight groups.  As mentioned in the quarterly report, we expect at some point to be banned from Facebook, so we created an account at Me We https://mewe.com/group/5e0cca3101162c26682b7278.   While social media has helped us to some extent and post, we are not dependent on social media.  We believe in getting out and meeting and networking with people.

 Camp Constitution in the News:

Our Christian flag lawsuit was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in late June and several dozen media outlets carried the story including Fox News   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlZZhRHedZ8  As a result of this news story, we were invited to speak about the issue on several radio shows-one which is nationally syndicated.   We started writing a monthly column is a Maine newspaper in January, and since, May, have a monthly column in a New Hampshire paper- “The Weirs Times.”
