[align=center]“The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretense by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.” - William Rawle, A View of the Constitution 125-6 (2nd ed. 1829)

Well written. BTW, for future reference, press releases are best done 30 days prior to an event, with follow up 2 weeks and 1 week before the event with the media outlet. That way they know the event is going down, and you have ample opportunity to coordinate with them.

Something like this is bound to get covered anyway simply due to it's nature. You are doing good. I'm working Saturday, can't make it. Have fun. Upside, should make some nice pictures for the front page of the Olympian and News Tribune (I hope!)

Life can really be a crap hole sometimes. Got up at 5:30 this morning showered, got the $50 cash out of my gun safe I've been saving to be able to make the drive and pay for parking, Sat down at the desk to print out the parking areas and checked my bank account. Auto deduct for car ins came out. Dish was shut off last week, and Looking at a late notice from the power company. I can't justify spending the money to make the drive when we are so far behind on bills. Really wanted to come up and meet you guys. Really wish they would call me back to work. Actually wish the house would sell and we could move closer. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics from the event.

Edited for 2nd grade grammer correction.
