Lots of out-of-towners attending!
Hi guys. Just wanted to let you know there are a lot of people coming from out of town for this event. Grays Harbor, Vancouver, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bremerton, Sequim, Spokane, Cour'dalene, Tenasket, Tri-Cities, Boise, MONTANA, and even a guy from CALIFORNIA!!! The facebook site for this event has several rsvp's, and one of them is from a gal in Oregon who makes some real nice holsters. She's going to have a table there showing some examples of her work. Beautiful stuff. Another woman coming from Edmonds who makes t-shirts, hats, patches and stickers/decals. She'll have a table showing examples of her work. Although we cannot sell products there, this will be a good way for them to advertise to our fellow Second Amendment Advocates!
It is time to send out some reminder emails. I'm sending out reminders to everyone on my email list later this evening and will be making some calls as well. Deros, you might want to post a reminder flyer on the front page of the blog. Even though flyers have been sent out, we should be reminding everyone (today and tomorrow) and telling them how AWESOME this year's event is going to be!
If I had to guess, I would guess we'll have 8 - 10 times more peope this year. AT LEAST!
Ooooooh Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Washington State Legislative issues
Someone is going to need to speak at the rally about current Washington State legislative issues. If there are petitions to sign and information to distribute regarding local issues, we should also have a table assigned specifically for that. Not sure if you've already identified that person, but I can think of a few who would do an amazing job getting people involved in the legislature there! (Gray!)
