surf, you looked good on TV. I do apologize for not making it. My son came over from Ft. Lewis after getting back from Korea.
Think local just run for city council. I did a couple of years ago, and got a couple hundred votes.
The council probably didn't know what you were talking about, or the Ridpath incident. Good job on getting the info put there.
yeah. I figured that none of them would have a clue what i was talking about, but at least it was addressed. I do know several of them practiced law, so I imagine it will be something a few of them will look into.
Council woman Nancy Mcglaughlin is the only one on the Spokane Police Advisory Committee. I think it is time to start hammering her about this subject:

As a side note, I met with another guy who got in touch with me today about OC through the posting I put up in the Ron Paul meetup group. He is personal friends with the president of the Spokane Police Guild, and will be having lunch with him tomorrow. He asked for a copy of the packet to deliver to him, to which I obliged. I also gave him a bunch of the pamphlets since he asked for them. He intends to distribute them at the rifle competitions he shoots at. i also gave him a stack to deliver to his buddy at the guild.
We had coffee and talked politics for about an hour and a half today, and I was happy to see that he was CC'ing a .45, so i feel very confidant about his genuine interest in the subject. His daughter does a lot of rifle competitions, and one of her shooting partners is the son of Sheriff Ozzie too, so he occasionally has conversation with him as well.
While I was at the city council meeting, I briefly spoke with a writer from the Spokesman-Review about what I was going to speak about, and I gave him a copy of the packet to review. We exchanged contact info and I will plan on inviting him, as well as the gentleman we met from the Inlander, to the next OC lunch. As you probably know, the Spokesman-Review has been pretty agressive at trying to uncover corruption in this city, with a fairly good amount of success. (Mayor Jim West)
They can be fairly unrelentless at times, so that is a good contact.
Maybe he should be contacted about this Ridpath situation. We should consider it anyhow.
I am rather surprised actually that in 3 weeks I have managed to meet 2 people from the press and gather contact info from them. This could be a very critical part of our success with regards to the training bulletin, and changing the SMC like we have discussed.
Now, it is time to begin working on developing a good press release, because the time may come when we really need these 2 contacts.
I wish my damn DVR would have worked last night! I set it to record the council meeting, but when I got home, I found it did not work. I really did want to see what I looked like on tv.:dude: I suppose I could do a publics record request for it though.
