He is 13 and making his own choices? Liberals when i was 13 the only choice i had was which hand i would get to the back of the head...get his ass to the rally.

I was planning on driving down to the rally, but I now can't take the day off from work. The person that normally covers for me has to get emergency surgery and I don't have anyone else to cover for me in my absence. Man, I am disappointed... I really wanted to go!!! If I were to just take the day off anyway, I'd risk losing my job. Is there any way to watch the rally online? I'm guessing that the answer is "no"... but I figured I'd check.

 

Redeem yourself by making a fat contribution to the NJ2A. That's what I'm doing. I'm kinda of in the same boat. Work for a small place of only three people and one is on vacation.

School won't let him attend an after school activity unless he's present for at least a half day, the day of the activity

 

So you propose I force him to stand in the rain, miss school, and miss the activity -- all this so I can listen to how miserable he is all day -- which will put me in a fowl mood

 

Nope -- not going to force him -- this is something he has to want to do -- I'd rather offer his ticket on the bus to someone who wants to be there

I'd call the school and ask them to make an exception...you're teaching him a valuable lesson about America he'll never learn in a classroom (I'm a teacher I know)

Who cares, is it something you believe in? If so it shouldn't matter.

Kind of missed the point there.

 

I was wondering if there were any major updates, possible weather alternative date. What if we get a blizzard/state of emergency did anyone think to set up any kind of contingency plan?

I guess I did, was hard to tell. Either way ill be there, and if there was something that postponed it, I'll be there for that. For a better forecast check out www.noaa.gov. Put the zip code it will give a local forecast per day. You can go to the lower section of that page and you will see 48 hour weather graph. Click that image and it will give you an hour by our breakdown and you can advance that 2 days at a time, up to 6 days ahead. That one of the things we use at work, it's like a picture of the weather and after all we all understand pictures better than the written word. Lol

So for those of us who aren't near a bus route any tips on parking? I've never been to Trenton before and pretty much all the NJ site says is:

On weekdays, metered street parking is available, as is parking in paid lots throughout the downtown Trenton area. Parking is limited in the State House Parking Garage.

 

I assume (hope) it will be busy that day.

Washington assaulted the hessians at Trenton during a storm.....

 

 

Is there a rally point for njgf at the rally?

 

Twitter channel..anything for a sync up?

 

DITTO.

[YankeeFan 49]

Waaaa! It's gonna be raining

 

Big f'n deal...quit your whining and get your ass down to Ramsey Outdoor and pick one of these up for 11 bucks...there's no excuse not to be at the rally!

I guarantee that snow puts a damper on the # of people showing up -- I'm pretty sure more than just a handful of us drive some sort of snow removal equipment -- I hope it's just rain...

heh...anybody launching a boat on the Pennsy side? ... I have a nice sledge for icebreaking...

 

rain? Snow?......it will harden the crowd

[MarkWVU02 47]

I think if the weather is shitty and we show up in numbers it will make us look better.

[palmtree 7]

Ill be there regardless of weather. This is way too important to worry about getting wet or being cold for a little while. Will be bringing my gf and hopefully my brother and his friend. Lets make our voices heard and show them what we got!!!!!!

[Ray Ray 3,566]

bump to the top

 

Come on guys, seems we can do better than the numbers I'm looking at.

[Wojo 98]

At Ramsey those rain poncho's are $11...everywhere else about $6.

 

Anyway, suck it up pansy asses and damn be the weather. If you can't stand being outside for a couple of hours in bad weather, just leave your man card in the bucket and leave.

[Steve_G 51]

Although I took the day off for the rally Friday, I now have to go in later in the afternoon. I'm still going to the rally but, I will be driving down instead of taking the bus out of Cheesequake. Anyone need a free seat?

[pjd832 146]

thats right.... weather be damned ill be there!

It's not the weather I'm afraid of -- I'll be out in it regardless -- It's those cutthroat lawyers and the lawsuits that come when I'm not making the roads safe for the condo dwellers --

 

There is no one to replace me -- I can tell you where I've been during every snow event for the past 21 years -- same place I'll be if this one materializes --

 

From what the weather report is saying I'll know tomorrow night -- Like I said before , hopefully it's just rain

[robot_hell 72]

Come on folks, let's do this

[pjd832 146]

hell if it snows we can make snowmen and snow angels...lol

[Vlad G 345]

I'll be there, but will snowballs be prohibited as assault missiles?

[alec.mc 180]

 

I checked with the state police about whether or not umbrellas are allowed. UMBRELLA ARE ALLOWED! If rain or snow is expected as we get closer to Friday, PLEASE DO NOT STAY HOME! Is there even one of us who cannot stand strong for three hours in the rain and snow to protect our rights from being extinguished? OF COURSE NOT! Dress in layers. Wear proper rain gear and hat. Keep your feet dry (an army marches on its feet). Eat a good breakfast. There are bathrooms on the buses and porta-johns will be available onsite. We are NOT generally allowed in the buildings. If for some exceptional reason you ARE allowed in the building you WILL have to go through security. You should NOT bring anything with you that you would not want to go through security. This is true whether or NOT you intend to try and use any of the buildings. AGAIN, we are welcome to demonstrate. We have all of the proper permits. The State Police have been ESPECIALLY HELPFUL, but we are NOT expected to be able to use any of the buildings.

Dear Friends

 

As most of you have probably heard, we may have to deal with a bit of rain, wind and snow this Friday during our Rally, luckily the frogs, locusts and tongues of fire are expected to hold off until Saturday. Unless Governor Christie declares a state of emergency, THIS RALLY WILL GO ON! Obviously, each one of you will have to make your own decision based upon your own individual situation. I do not wish to put pressure on anyone, but I will be in front of the Annex building by myself ranting like a MAD MAN if necessary. The three branches of NJ government may think that our rights are OPTIONAL, but I do not happen to agree.

Once again, we are allowed ANY signs we can HOLD IN OUR HANDS. No sticks or poles. Even American flags on sticks are not allowed. The State Police will only confiscate them. I have repeatedly promised the NJSP that I would relate this to everyone, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME LOOK BAD! What you wear and what signs you bring are your own business.In my opinion, the impression we want to make is "WE ARE YOU", meaning that we are no different from the rest of the residents of NJ other than we have a BURNING desire to see that the rights of INDIVIDUAL people are not suppressed by ANYONE.Dress like you would for ANY normal event. I prefer signs that express the POSITIVE side of our argument,. but you are all individuals who will accept individual responsibility for your actions.As coordinator of this event, I am here to facilitate things, NOT to dictate.

 

One more thing. I do NOT expect any trouble from outsiders or form people that misbehave, HOWEVER, Please have your cell phone with you and FULLY CHARGED. If someone tries to disrupt the Rally or act the fool to try and make *US* look bad, I do NOT want anyone to get into an argument with them or to engage them in any way. RATHER - everyone WHIP out your cell phone and make it OBVIOUS that you are taking photos and video recording the persons *FACE*. Once they realize that they will be able to be identified and exposed, there is a VERY good chance they will stop their activities and leave with their tail between their legs. This can be a VERY effective, non-confrontational method of defusing an otherwise TENSE situation. AGAIN, I do not expect trouble but success comes easiest to the prepared. In the event that we get a seriously disruptive individual, I may ask you to "take a knee". All I mean is to get low, and let the person be entirely "exposed". This alone may defuse the situation, but if not, at least it will make it VERY easy for the State police to isolate the disruptive individual.

 

OK, I realize that is a lot of information, but it is all easy stuff..If you should still have some questions, *I* will NOT be able to handle all the emails between now and the Rally. Please keep your inquiries to a minimum and only about critical issues. Please contact either Ignatius Ortega ([email protected]) or Robert Henn ([email protected]) before contacting me.They are prepared to deal with most of your questions. DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL TO ASK IF THE RALLY IS CANCELLED! There are only two reasons we will cancel, if the buses cannot roll, or if the Governor declares a state of emergency (OK three - if the tongues of fire come early). I will be in Trenton early. If the buses cannot roll, I will post it on our home page by 5:00 AM at www.nj2as.com.

 

Thank you very much for participating. Here is to a *PHENOMENALLY* SUCCESSFUL RALLY!
