State Researcher
Some of you may know that I am one of the coordinators for the Second Amendment Rally being held on the Capitol Grounds in Olympia Washington on April 30th. I have been in contact with many businesses, gun shops, sporting goods stores and more, getting prepped for the rally. I wrote to Wholesale Sports asking for some support and, well... I'll let you read the reply. I have included my draft email as well as the managers reply.

Mr Ritchey,
I am an assistant coordinator for the Washington State 2nd Amendment Rally which is being held on the State Capitol grounds, April 30th 2011 at Trivolli Fountain in Olympia. Dave Workman will be the Keynote speaker this year and we have a bunch more folks lined up to speak (tentatively - Alan Gottleib and Senator Pam Roach). We have several pro 2A law firms & gun rights groups setting up booths to pass out information and goods. I have a flier that I have passed out to more than 25 of the gun shops in the Puget Sound region and I'm in the process of contacting other gun shops and gun shows in cities across Washington to get the word out about this rally.
What I would like to know is what would I need to do to get your organization on board with this rally?
Would your organization be able to help with tables & booths to pass out information and free items to the crowd?
What would I need to do to be able to get your organization to distribute or allow our group to pass out fliers at your location?
This Rally is not associated with any one group in particular. It is for every person that owns, collects, shoots, hunts or carries a weapon. You can find the most up to date information, pictures and videos about the Washington State Second Amendment Rally is available at: http://2awashingtonstate.wordpress.com/
A copy of the flier is available at: http://www.washingtongunrights.com/2A/flier.pdf
Any questions can be sent to this email address (m1gunr@gmail.com) or you may call me at 253-666-xxxx.
Thank you in advance,
Bill Starks

Hello Mr. Starks,
I would like to thank you and your constituents for considering Wholesale Sports participation with the 2nd Amendment Rally on 30 April 2011. Unfortunately at this time Wholesale Sports and UFA would like to remain neutral on such nationwide and controversial issues. We do appreciate the efforts put forth by groups such as yours. We look forward to your continued patronage as a valued customer with Wholesale Sports.
Sincerely,
Brian Ritchey
