The Michigan Representativefor GOA has allowed us to use it. I use it in my power point talks on OC as well as our own logo. I'm also a member of GOA. I think we are fine with using the logo.
If the building opens at 8:00, I'll do my best to be there by 8:00, but I might be late, because if I really pour on the coal it will take not much less than 4 hours from where I live. I'll get as early a start as I can. I don't want us to miss anybody. However, if not everyone can be there that early, I understand.
How many copies of the letter should I bring? I need to know the number of senators and representatives, and we should also plan to include the speaker, governor, and anyone else we can think of. A number by 5:00 today would be great, but if I can't get one, I'm sure 200 would cover it, right? (I confess I have no idea how many legislators there actually are in Lansing. But I used to know the Federal numbers.
Dress warmly, as it will be nasty cold tomorrow. That should make an impression on the legislators, too! (But I wonder who I can borrow a "dead sheep" hat from........)
Anybody want to bring a camp stove and serve hot chocolate and pamphlets?
Actually, that'd be a great idea, if someone wants to do it. (I don't have the equipment.) I'll print the pamphlets, if someone brings the cocoa stuff.
It's paradise, man......
You tri-fold it, there's not too much trouble reading it then.
I saw what you posted under your screen name, I just thought you might be in the area for business or pleasure. That's a long way to deliver an intro letter when it could be done on-line.That does sound like the best way to deliver the letters. I would be willing to do that.
Yes, being outside was the plan, but it might be necessary to rotate in and out of a vehicle/the lobby to keep from freezing to death, although it's not supposed to be windy, so if we just dress warmly, we should be OK. I've been in 3 layers of clothes for awhile now......
Yes, I'm coming all the way from Harbor Springs; you just now looked to see where that was, didn't you?
No, this could not be done online. We are going there to put feet to our wishes and show our legislators that we are real people who are willing to stand up for what we believe in, not just hide behind a computer screen somewhere and make big statements.EdifyGuy wrote:I saw what you posted under your screen name, I just thought you might be in the area for business or pleasure.

Yes it's a great area. I grew up in TC and would get to Harbor Springs and Petoskey from time to time.
Uh-oh.....my 3rd-party Office-like program misformats that....can you make a PDF of it? If you don't already have a program to do it, go to www.sourceforge.net and search for "pdfcreator" (one word, no quotes) to download a great free utility to do it.
Edify try this:
Extra copies can be distributed among the MOC'ers at future OC events.
