Gunsrlegal 140 Posted March 27, 2018 Now that I've finally thawed from yesterday---I guess I'm a cold-wimp---I want to take a moment to thank some of the people who worked so hard to pull-off the rally. @gunforhire, Anthony, as always, you put all of yourself into the rally. Your Web-site for the bus registration and fielding all of the bus complaints, yourself as the emcee of the rally, and the hundreds of other things I know you did behind the scenes. I'm a proud member of Gun For Hire (member #2 ). Thank you. @Smokin .50, Rosey, you too put yourself out there to pull this off. Again, as you do always. From fielding t-shirt questions to rallying the group, you got it all together and got us out there. I am proud to be a member of CNJFO. Thank you. I'm well aware that all of the bills passed through the NJ assembly yesterday. I expected that. But I don't consider yesterday's efforts to be wasted. It brought many (not enough) of us together. I got to meet some of the real people behind the forum names, including the infamous @Zeke , @Krdshrk,and@Ray Ray. I spent a few hours with a good group of people supporting a common cause. Post-rally there has been a brainstorming of ideas to keep trying to get out our message. That's a good thing. I just don't want to lose sight of the efforts by so many that went into making yesterday happen, from the organizers to all who attended. This is going to be a very long road and I thank all who got the public journey moving. I now return you to your regularly scheduled posting. P.S. Not to leave out @Mrs. Peel and @Mr.Stu, but I all ready knew you in "real life." Is that warm and fuzzy? 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Ray 3,566 Posted March 27, 2018 Yes, we all knew the outcome. Our goal was to make sure they heard us and that we will not go quietly into the night. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is, they DID NOT hear us because their heads are very far up their own asses. And they really don't care if we go quietly or with the god-awful noise of the SnowFlake Marching Band that serenaded us yesterday. They'll do everything in their power to just MAKE US GO. They're at the beginning of a 2 year legislative term and have almost 4 full years of Governor Gopher left to get their agenda past the finish line. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyB 4,322 Posted March 27, 2018 Sorry I didn't bump into you at the rally Brian. There were lots of people there! I was hanging out with Ray-Ray, Zeke and Mrs Zeke, Miss Peel, Gunsrlegal, Scorpio, Krdshrk and others at ground level by the front steps. Shawnmoore was on my my bus and I enjoyed meeting and talking with him on the long ride. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone noticed me, I was the guy sitting in the chair in the sun on the sidewalk at street level. Got a nice sunburn on the right side of my exposed face. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,139 Posted March 28, 2018 Was a decent turnout for a Monday morning. Despite what many reports of "hundreds" said I rwad that the State PD estimated our numbers at 2k - 2200. It was good seeing some of you. Sorry I wasn't able to say hello to all. Thank you to all.the organizers and contributors who let our dissent be well heard. Thank you to everyone who took time out to join us in attendance. That is to Krdshrk for the stooge! Feel free to post the selfie we took. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On behalf of all of our members, thanks for your support & welcome to our volunteer organization! If you didn't get your maroon "member T-shirt" yet, it will be mailed shortly. Michele should be warmed-up by now. She was handling nearly 200 pcs of apparel on Monday in that cold & windy portico and her arthritis kicked-in. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
