I'm hoping to attend, just have to work out the logistics. Being on a Friday makes it a lot more difficult, "grandma" won't be available to watch the kids since she'll be at work.. Hopefully we can figure something out.

Seems to me that if a politician is on our side and willing to speak for our cause at an event, we wouldn't want to scare them away.
Anyway, I'll be there. Is there going to be a group meeting spot before hand?

Somebody please help me....I was under the impression that when a person was asked to speak at an event, they were asked to give THEIR THOUGHTS on a particular subject, not to pander to the masses.
Diversity is needed in a situation such as we are now experiencing. Even the ANTI's do us some good, because their comments keep us more focused on our goals.
If you do not like what is being said, you do not have to listen, nor do you have to agree. BUT it would be of benefit to listen and think about what is being said. It just might strike a cord that will bring out a very valid

I really want to go and I'm trying to get my friend to go as well!
Olympia is quite a ways away, but it should be worth the trip.

Agreed, and Hadian and Didier will not get my votes because of their thoughts that had nothing to do with the topic. :lol:

I view this like I view the Kent State incident.
if your movement is acting violently to the point where the military is involved and then you violently taunt soldiers with guns, what do you expect will happen?
The redcoats arriving in numbers should've been a "clue" to disperse. now if you're so believing in your cause that you're willing to die for it, that's one thing.
but claiming a shooting that's at worst questionable is a cold blooded massacre is not reasonable.

- Really hoping we can get some good turnout for this rally too. it is a good opourtunity to show them, twice in a row, how serious "We the People" are about our right to bear arms and protecting our liberties.

- My wife and I are planning to be there, hope to see you all there too.

Unless someone got the permit, there isn't going to be a rally on the 8th.....
per the facebook post:
To whoever is in charge of setting up the Pro 2nd Amendment rally at the Washington State Capitol on Feb 8th - I got a call this morning from the Capitol staff stating you have not gotten your permit yet for this event. until you do you will not be able to hold this event. You need to call Tony Aikens at the State Capitol: 360-902-8884 and get your permit NOW!

The issue; if you keep doing "rally's" each month you expend a lot of energy (time, money, time of work) by the firearms community and they lose steam. Then you have rally's that have less attendance from the previous rally. Now the media show's up and says "pro gun forces are shrinking in numbers."
Washington's rally seems to have been on January 19th and now it's time to move from rally's to talking to your legislator's and congressmen. My suggestion is to go to the capital on the 8th and visit with your legislator. Make an appointment now as they have busy schedules and you may be just visiting with staff.

Well Hell, thats too bad. I too thought it was already set up. People were talking about doing both from the get-go.
I do see your point there GoGo, and where as I was not suggesting it every month, I did think just these two in a row could have been good if done right (Big then bigger?).
TY for the heads up.
