Polk Halo Program:
This summer Rich Jones; President of Cascadia Knife Company, worked with at risk youth in a youth job training program sponsored by the Polk Halo Work Program located in Independence, OR. The 2009 summer Halo work training program was funded by the Federal Government's American Reinvestment & Recovery Act. The at risk youth were taught various skills in the construction trades. With Rich being a former owner of a large full service construction company, he was assigned a position teaching basic construction techniques involved in the removing, grading and pouring of new concrete sidewalks throughout the city of Independence. At the end of the program the students were taught construction skills relevant to their trade as well as important life skills.
The program is the first of it's kind and featured in the local newspaper.
The Polk Halo program is a unique not for profit program that is dedicated to providing many valuable services to at risk youth. The program gives young people the assistance and skills they need to be successful in life. Funding of the program is provided by state and federal grants and by the generous support of indiviual donors like yourself. There are many young people who are in need of the services this program provides, so please consider making a donation.

Over the years there have been many attempts to strip away our constitutional rights to bear arms. The NRA has always fought hard to preserve that right and needs your continued support.
Did you know that the term " Arms " also includes knives. Last year we as U.S. citizens came very close to loosing our right to legally being able to own and carry not just spring assisted knives, but also any knife that opens with one hand. Without the public's knowledge, U.S. customs tried to change the definition of what a switchblade knife is, by attempting to include several different styles of knives currently legal that also included spring assisted knives. Had U.S. customs got their way, literally millions of law abiding people would have been found to be breaking the law by the simple act of carrying a one handed opening knife.
Thanks to the collective efforts of knife dealers all over the U.S., Congressmen, normal everyday people and the NRA our rights have been preserved from once again another ridicules attempt to strip away our constitutional rights.
