Hi folks, thanks for organizing this - we hope to run radio ads over 3 stations (before your event)in the greater Green Bay - Appleton - Osh Kosh area - to do so we need at least $1,500, better $2,000 - we now $1,050 so we need at least a few hundred more dollaws

if you all can pass the hat by passing this link at http://www.opencarry.org/carryland.htmlto your lists of friends and associates, we can help put open carry on the map in Green Bay.

At http://www.opencarry.org/carryland.htmlyou can make donations in seconds by credit card.

So far we have ..... ( please forgive any spelling errors)





1 Landose

1 Interceptor

4 Sprayandpray (I have another 10 to contact and will update number of attendees as I go)

1Protius

2 Pepe54 Plus aide

1 BNH computing ( Tater Salad)

1 Woodchuck ( Chili)

1 M9Shanalan (Chili, from the other thread)

Please quote this post , put the number of people you expect to attend with you before your name and if you are bringing anything in parentheses after , so we can ATTEMPT keep track of how many and who is bringing what.... I will figure out what i am bringing once everyone chimes in to try and fill in some holes, At this point it looks like we need soda , Water , Plastic silverware, chips, ..........

I am waiting to hear back from landose as to what he is bringing to grill and if he needs anyone to bring buns and such... I can also bring a grill if needed ( I also have a 2 burner outdoor cooker for the chili if someone wants me to bring it , remember we won't have electricity so crockpots wont work to keep the chili hot ), I have ruled out the kegerator full of root beer , Cause that just looks bad :D

I also have my ice maker working overtime and filling up the freezer in the basement with ice, Between that and a few bar owners I know in green bay,I am sure I can arrange plenty of ice.

Monday I think I am going tom throw together a Brochure and see about leaving it at some local gun stores / Ranges

Should we be cross posting onother sites?I plan on Cross postingon Arfcom WiHTF... If you are a member of other pro gun sites I think we should be hitting them all .... Unless someone objects for some reason.

Considering inviting a small group of the pink pistols ... nothing confuses Liberals more then gays with guns? Opinions?

I am also working on a press release for the media , I have contacted a friend at The Press Gazette, and am going to send the release to all of the local stations, when it is done I will post it here, If anyone wants to use it to contact their local media.....

So .... What are we forgetting?

As we will be outside should we be picking a rain date?

( Also , Mods can we get this moved back to the Wisconsin Hometown forum? I think It will get more applicable traffic there , Maybe put up a post in the "Open carry brigade" section with a link to the thread in the HTF, I almost skipped looking at this thread today cause it showed the same 4 replies as yesterday, and I am sure others are doing the same thing)

The link is still there; but everyone should be checking the board from the main page first, then hit the discussion forum and click "recent" - that brings up the hottest issues, and fact, this very thread is #1.

That's where the press goes to check what's happenning :)

I do believe that we are activly taking care of our "Fecal matter" Intercepter. Or would you rather everyone attending this event be cited for an ordinance violation? An ordinance violation I might add,that would have went entirely unnoticed if we werent for us members "Planning as a group"(Much thanks to Spray&Pray for finding that little ordinance btw).
