June 16th - Ambassadors Mobilization Meeting
I think you guys really need to update your postings of this to include the location. The first step for people considering whether they can attend something is to decide if they can reasonably make the trip.
one more bump for those who are still interested. Please PM or email to let me know if you're coming
9:30am tomorrow at Harvard Sportsman

As regards the "meeting " at Assumption College...it might be a good question to ask ( to get through the "filters") about what the plan is to increase Mental health Services in Ma. Assumption College , by the way , has a big Psychology program. Prehaps an increase in psychological /vocational/ drug treatment availabilty would actually have an effect on reducing violent crime. Do they even HAVE a plan to address this? I would really like to hear thier respnse to this.
Its not a meeting. Its a public hearing. Big difference. Main one being that this is the committee where the bills are. And, we get to hand in written testimony and/or speak for or against the bills. This isn't a linksy run puppet show. This is the actual hearings on the bills.

At a minimum, I would send it to the 2 chairs, you can find them in page 2 of this PDF:Where do we mail out "written responses to/ For those that can't attend?
I don't normally speak for the rest of the ItsTime folks, but I think I'm on safe ground here expressing a big THANK YOU to the room full of people who took time out of a beautiful Sunday morning to come get involved in this important effort. I for one was very impressed at the commitment and energy in the room.
As a father I can tell you that we don't and won't aren't going to have any easy choices about getting involved to stop this nonsense including when we meet to organize that involvement.How about a summary for those who weren't able to attend on account of a poorly chosen meeting day intersecting with Father's Day?
- Don't assume that everyone reads these forums and knows what is going on - most do not.
They either have no idea this is going on, or they wrongly assume "my guns are safe".
No one's guns are safe.
They are moving the bar far enough that whether you hunt, shoot trap, shoot pistol, shoot semi-auto rifles, or just like to collect, they are coming for your guns without any exaggeration or hyperbole.

If you can't be willing to sacrifice a few hours on fathers day, then when will you be willing to stand your ground? When they are knocking at your door to collect your arms? Doubtful. Will it be when they have a committee hearing and the only way to make it would be to bug out of work an hour early? Probably not.
What a bunch of vile trash, I wish I had not clicked on that and supported that paper...Front page editorial in Cape Cod Times today :Cape Cod Times- Gun Violence in America- LEGAL STANDOFF
This is what we are up against. Please come to the Cape hearing tomorrow if you can! Let's make a strong showing for the first of these 5 hearings.

Yes, they have gone over the edge. They are coming for our rights and our guns - all of them.
Rutilate, none of us gains anything by bickering and finger pointing, what HK was trying to explain to you is that we worked with what we had in terms of schedule and availability. We did not and are not going to be able to pick and choose, we need to respond first and get ahead of this second.I carry to protect my family and my family comes first above all else ergo I'm not going to abandon them on Father's day.
Are you really going to bitch and moan and play the blame and shame game because people aren't going to sacrifice their one-day-a-year family time and support your cause?
I applaud your efforts to take action and would like to support it. Did you record the meeting? Or can it be recreated and presented via WebEx? I have a WebEx account I'd be happy to make available to you if you'd like.

Are you really going to bitch and moan and play the blame and shame game because people aren't going to sacrifice their one-day-a-year family time and support your cause? Or are you going to find ways to accommodate different schedules, make the materials easily accessible, and show everyone how it is in their best interest to participate?
There are three primary ways to motivate someone to take action: fear, money, or rational self-interest. You personally don't have a big enough stick to rule by fear. You probably don't have enough money. You'll get a lot further in your goal of engaging the audience by appealing to people's rational self interest, and you'll get far more dedicated followers by making them feel welcome, excited to be part of a cause, interested in protecting their rights, and confident in knowing how to do so.
