millsan1 3 Posted February 18, 2013 On the NJ2AS FB page, there is a discussion re: is it worth going to Trenton for the Assembly vote on the 23 bills. I am making up 3x5 cards with AYE in Green and NAY in red. These will be printed on nice card stock. My thought is anyone who wishes to go to be in the gallery while the votes are going on can bring a card with them to hold up during the votes. We will not be allowed to speak, but we should not be disallowed to show our voice, in a quiet way. Not sure of best way to distribute, or if anyone likes the idea, but if you are going to Trenton on Thursday, I can provide a bunch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barms 98 Posted February 18, 2013 Millsan... PM me your address and i will send you a couple of bucks to cover the cost of making the signage.. Anybody that is driving from up north (call it north of exit 148 give or take).. and if you are carpooling with people.. send me a PM i will send you $$ to cover your gas and parking at the least.. Or if you just want me to give it to NJ2AS i will do that.. your choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millsan1 3 Posted February 18, 2013 Signs were free. But feel free to give some $ to NJ2AS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gski 1 Posted February 19, 2013 I just sent this to the email address listed on Blue Waves website: Please stop lying to yourselves. You are not "gun safety advocates". You are "gun control" advocates. Responsible, law abiding gun owners, who go through arduous, unconstitutional background checks, are gun safety advocates. Our firearms are not used in crimes, nor do we commit crimes. Additional guns laws will not prevent crime. Addressing the root issues of drugs, gangs, poverty, and the breakdown of the family unit in urban New Jersey is the only way we will stop the violence, as well as, the unnecessary deaths you are trying to prevent. The banning of inanimate objects that have no will of their own, will not accomplish anything other than turning law abiding citizens into criminals. To believe otherwise is pure fantasy. We do not have a gun problem in NJ. We have a violence problem. Campaign against that and you will force the politicians to actually do something that will net results, not just rhetoric that sounds good on the stump. Lastly, stop lying about the people at the meeting last Wednesday being supporters of the NRA. Although some of them may be members of that organization, they were there as supporters of the constitution and the 2nd amendment. You know - the document that assures your right to say whatever you like. Even the nonsense you spew on your website. Imagine if you needed to apply for a permit to exercise your god given 1st amendment right. The email address above is my real email address. I do not hide behind some feel good organization. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this matter further. Regards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H.M. Murdock 0 Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks millsan. I was reading on the Bluewave site that are expecting to speak in support of the bill so I think we may have another chance to speak again(?)

millsan1 3 Posted February 19, 2013 Again, I have cards reading AYE/NAY that we can SILENTLY hold up during the votes. This will get press and TV. It is an easy to understand visual which people like to see. Please come see me in Trenton to get one.

millsan1 3 Posted February 21, 2013 I bought 100 lanyards today. This makes the signs into jewelry. I will be wearing mine. Loffkat will be with me. Here is a pic of us. I really hope this is impactful and gets noticed. The whole reason I and Kate and a lot of people are going is to make a showing and to let them know we are not going away. This is an easy and I think impactful visual. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
