While it's fine that "like-minded" individuals will be gathering there, it's of no use if we don't start puttin' in some "work."

I realize you are not trying to flame here and I am not trying to flame back.
Do not underestimate what is going to happen next week. If you think that our 'little camping trip' hasn't drawn attention from the highest levels of several government bodies/organizations, the press & the antis, you are being naive. I will not be surprised if the press turnout is huge. Not to mention the protest groups that are, without a doubt, going to be present.
I believe this event is going to go well. In fact, I hope and pray daily that it is hugely successful. For, when it is, we will have made a real unified statement and made it loudly 'from the mountain top'. We will show everyone that we are not the fire breathing, wife beating, innocence plundering, vile hell demons spawn from Satan's bosom that we are all too often made out to be.
My point is, people who really do care don't always have time to come here and post on a Wednesday night. However, rest assured that we are making the time to take a stand together, doing what we love, defending what we believe in, for all the world to see. (I think the 'Guns & Peace' posters are just too perfect for this.)
Sorry, I tripped and fell on my soapbox for a minute there but, I hope you get the point that we all try to do our part in some way.
