We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I do not see anything to be gained by our attendance. Why galvanize any antis and garner negative press when Deed's campaign is already in the tank? I prefer in this case to let the election send my message.
We have many battles yet to be fought - just don't think this one will have any positive return. I'd really prefer that nobody came to their party - an empty room.

And to think the antis are not galvanized already? Really...and negative press, c'mon man! The anti's hate us and so does the press. They can twist and turn this anyway they wish but when dozens, or many times hundreds, of law abiding gun owners show up at a rally the message is clear.
Your decision is yours - I will take every imaginable opportunity I am presented with. Ruthless and without compromise...that is how we will win.

I've heard PVC say it so many times ... "We have a right to defend ourselves anywhere we can legally be."
1. The election isn't over until it's over. Remember 2000?
2. Separate issue is that the anti's and MSNBC made a big deal saying we didn't have a right to carry near a POTUS event, so if we all of a sudden stop showing up now, they can and will claim a victory on that point.
That's my .02

We just completed a rally that is really unique in this country. It was done peacefully, professionally and got the attention of most of the united states...judging from the traffic on the net anyway.
We're a week away from the election and despite McDonnell's shortcomings, I think he will remember who his friends are..Plus, Cuccineli is PRO GUN and pro a lot of other things I favor.
While I like to take any opportunity to poke a stick in Deeds eye, this is one that could turn on us very quickly. The Secret Service will be all over and I promise you, get too close and you WILL be detained for questioning.
There won't be any law suit, there won't be any rabble uprising, there will only be biased news coverage.
That's just not the kind of fight I want to jump into.
Now for those of us that think it's a good thing, have at it. I'm far from always right and I'm sure not in the advice business.

Respective of these opinions, I'll be sure to wear a pro-gun shirt that is not a VCDL shirt and I'll leave my orange buttons at home. Sorry, not scraping the stickers off the car.
For those going, I'll be wearing the black T-shirt with choices of GUN OWNER or VICTIM on the back. Fell free to say hi. It'll be nice to have somebody to talk to besides the Secret Service.
Also, for those going, where/when are we meeting?

I've had them try that on me in the past at TCC. But alas, the professor had no legs to stand on. The rules of TCC were on my side.
Besides, if I were a student at ODU, I'd welcome their attempts to run roughshod over me for participating in such an event.
I'm a nice guy. Really, I am. (smiles with a shark's smile).

The Tea Party folk are going.
Wonder what other anti's will be there
[font="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"]Details are being finalized for tomorrow's Tea Party Welcome to Obama in Norfolk.
The Commander Campaigner in Chief will be trying to spin more tales of Hope and Change on yet another one of his road trips out of the Oval Office. We wonder if he even knows how to find the Resolute Desk these days - unless it's for photo ops and signing off on war strategies against Fox News, Individual Liberty and Capitalism.

When: Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Note the Time Change: Obamais expected to arrive sometime after 2pm.
We are asking for tea partydemonstrators to arrive aroundnoon.
What: President Obama will be stumping for Deeds. Our goal is to use this opportunity
to greethim in the Tea Party way.
Signs, Banners, T-Shirts, Hats are completely appropriate and highly encouraged.
Sincewe do not know his exact arrival time,bring coolers with water and snacks, and perhaps lawn chairs and umbrellas. We do not have a permit so prepare to be flexible and responsive to requests made by HRTP leaders or law enforcement. There willl be a hotel suite available (provided by HRTP members)next to the facility for our use, which we can use for bathroom visits. More information about that will be providedon-site. Parking is limited, so get there early if you can.
PS Weather may threaten, but what doesn't these days? Let it rain. Who Cares?
