Also speaking will be Hubert Huffman from Opencarry.org, David Delaney of Americans Fed-Up.com, Ken Van Doren and others.

The opening ceremony song will be performed by Onalaska High School graduate Katie Hoppins.

Attendees are encourageed to come early and bring chairs. Elected government representatives have been invited to attend and listen to their constituents in separate discussions.

There were about 400 people or so at the event today. I gave a five minute speech on the history of open carry in Wisconsin, how we got to where we are, and what action to take next.

Our focus is onvisiting OCDO and signing the petition to repeal the "school zone" law.

Had two NEW people who were FIRST TIME open carriers at the event today. We are gaining ground one person at a time...
