Anarchy In Your Head will have a table there. I'm on the phone with Jean right now. I've got a lot of left-over silk screened boogeyman t-shirts from Porcfest that I'll have marked down from $15 to $10 as well as some anarchy bumper stickers.

[Kat Kanning]

Good luck getting off the phone!

TO ALL GUN OWNERS/GROUPS ATTENDING LIVE FREE OR DIE RALLY: We encourage & endorse open carry at the event. We request that you pass this along to your members,BUT ALSO, that if possible, for people open carrying, they wear something identifying them selves as other than a Fed or Police Officer. Many participants of last years event have questioned "if the feds are going to be there again this year?",(there were NO police). People "not in the know" thought participants open carrying were feds or plain clothed police. As you know,the idea of open carrying at event is to bring others into the know.
Thank You, Jean"Mike"Coutu 

[Russell Kanning]

I bet open carry with a slogan tshirt would do the trick

[dalebert]

Around this crowd, if you wear a shirt that says, in huge letters "I'M NOT A FED" and they'll instantly assume you ARE a fed.

[Ron Helwig]

I'm thinking of getting a t-shirt that just says "who is Carl Drega?" 

[Kat Kanning]

We have been mailing & e-mailing out hundreds of notices,running ads in local papers,etc., since January, for ANYONE to show up for volunteers meeting on Friday, August 22, 7 PM at Dillon Lodge. We have had 6 (maybe's) commitments since January! I AM NOW ON MY HANDS & KNEES BEGGING! PLEASE !!!! Thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours all year,many contributions, have gone into this event. It appears hundreds of people are coming, & event is in deep crap if no one shows up for meeting. Tasks easy & short,wear nice STAFF t-shirts (being donated by Loud Pipes Saloon 2), &  mostly just knowing what's going on & where things are to answer people arriving Saturday morning & Saturday evening. I cannot do this part alone & have tapped out every source I can think of to ask! PLEASE does anyone out there know ANYONE who can PLEASE HELP or solicit for volunteers to come to meeting?
Desperate, Jean Coutu, Live Free Or Die Rally'08

email him at Caacp01 at aol dot com

[dalebert]

This is definitely an over-reaction. It's just too early for people to commit to a meeting on Aug 22. That's over a month away. I think he's going to get a lot more responses as the meeting approaches.

[Kat Kanning]

He's a little high strung 

[Coconut]

...if no one shows up for meeting.
...solicit for volunteers to come to meeting?

Is this vague to anyone else? They need volunteers to "come to meeting." Isn't that what they called church back in the olden days: "Don't forget to go to meeting on Sunday"

I guess it makes sense. Just weird he doesn't write "come to the meeting"  I don't know where Dillon Lodge is either.

[Kat Kanning]
