Open Call for Gun Owners to "Occupy" Ceasefire Foundation's Chartered Bus to Olympia
http://www.washingtonceasefire.net/content/view/15/40/
Imagine that you are Gregory Roberts, the new "Executive Director" of the Ceasefire Foundation. You consider your yourself to be a savvy "media professional" and your first big assignment to prove your value as a gun prohibitionist is to Pass a Law to Make Gun Owners HIDE their Guns, in the Spring of 2012. You have carefully planned your strategy to get this law passed; you have written a proposed law; you have sponsors lined up, and you plan to transport a large number of agitators to the State Capitol for committee hearings on the law.
As the Executive Director you visualize a chartered bus of gun prohibitionist agitators being driven down to Olympia. You have paid for the bus, and you even plan to offer free sandwiches, soft drinks, and gun prohibition shirts to the street people of Seattle to just get on the bus. Since, you are a "media professional", you have your talking points printed, and ready to distribute to the bus passengers about how gun owners must HIDE their guns.
Now, let's create an alternate vision of reality for Gregory Roberts: The dreaded gun owners are trying to get on the bus with "hidden" guns, and you are having to set up metal detectors to detect "hidden" guns, in full view of the press and legislature. Oops! The noise to signal ratio in your message just blew your message to pieces, and people are laughing at you and your legislative agenda.
WashingtonCeasefire.net is now calling for all gun owners to "hide" their pistols, and "occupy" Ceasefire Foundation's 2012 Chartered Bus from Seattle to Olympia.
1. Conceal your pistol.
2. Wear a gun prohibition jacket, sticker, or shirt to prevent Ceasefire Foundation from differentiating between you and a true gun prohibitionist.
3. Show up an hour or two early to make sure that YOU get on the bus instead of a gun-prohibitionist.
4. Bring your camcorder or cell phone.
5. Be prepared to record Gregory Roberts and Ralph Fascitelli as they search for "hidden" guns with metal detectors..
6. As you ride the bus down to Olympia, spout gun prohibition platitudes until you arrive at the committee hearing (no disturbances on the bus please). Then, get rid of your gun prohibition signs and stickers, and prepare to testify AGAINST the bill.
