Alot of successful rallies were done through email or just simply invitation announcement (like Glory posted), not by a show of hands on a public message board.

Though Jean can speak for herself, I want to say that there is nothing wrong with asking the members of a forum about their willingness to participate in events. Having organized a few events in the past, I can say that there is nothing more discouraging than to have an event that no one shows up to.

Secondly, having some sort of idea as to how many people we are expecting is good to have since it allows the organizer to communicate with LE, and they can know how many LEOs to assign to an event. This is important since the other side will not hesitate to resort to violence.

I understand your concerns. However, I trust the mods and organizers on this board with my life, and more importantly my wife's life. Why? Because they know how to plan, and how to protect their own.

No, I got the point of the original post, it's the "put up or shut up" remark that makes it unappealing. Maybe a little reminiscent of Chelene's "you're not a patriot" remarks.

OK, then I will ask you how we should go about asking people if they will attend an event? I am serious since it seems we do not know the secret.
BTW, this is not being a smart 'a' , I think the organizers would like to find the magic 'thing' to do.

I have no idea how Robin does anything. I have never been any position to organize.

I was a supervisor at one time and it made me never want to deal with people again. I guess I am at the end of ideas for you. I will just follow, I don't want to lead but I do all I can to help the leaders.

That's a good one.

I'm going to try My hardest to counter protest in SF, but my vehicle's got studded tires, and State laws says that I can't be on the road after May 1st (w/studded tires)...and it's dumping snow right now...if it clears-up in the next day/or so, I'm going to swap-out them, and beat feet to the SF protest.

There are times when you just cannot win for losing, tires, weather, funds...........on and on it goes.
Best of luck to you.

AG, is there anything planned for Sacramento?

Robin has a local group. There are a few who travel to her area, but mostly they are from that area. SOS is state wide and we try to do things in areas where more can attend. But who that is, is up to the members.
