I hope you all have enough sense to realize this is all just BS. I had applied for the April rally before Ron ever even announced his wish for a march. It was all done before any of the others started and the fees had been paid so I was not about to let it just go. The rally was a success even with the bashing and trashing done on this site by a few people. We trashed no one. But even at the entrance the police were turning away people who were standing there telling everyone the rally had been cancelled. That was not us doing that it was another group who went online and said it had been canceled. It was not and was a success with over 2000 people there with photos to prove it.
The March people are way off base again. The event in Sturgis is a solid effort to rally a revolution which is fading fast, the people on the west coast cannot aford the trip to the east we realized that way into the planning of the Rally on the 15th. Sturgis was selected then to be a point that was accessable to many of the western states and we planned on it starting before the 15th.
There is no need to be doing all this bashing unless there is a underlying motive to just ruin what we have done the past 2 years. Yes 2 years, we have been going around fighting Nais, NAU and Amnesty before Ron ever announced. There has never been a event we have organized that has been a sham or underhanded and won't be. We have not bashed anyone nor lied to or about anyone on any other event and usually have tried to help in any way possible but there are some that cannot bear to be helped as they know it all and are so big in their own egos that they think they can just write and say things without being questioned. I question most everything just as I am questioned. My name, address and phone number has always been available so people know who I am and where I live so they have some faith in our honesty. We have not betrayed that honesty in any manner and don't intend to start any time soon.
With so many millions of people in this country there is room for hundreds of rallys, marches and events and should not interfere with each other in any way. The more the better as energy and spirits wane with each loss. This Event in Sturgis is a Revolution Festival meant to be a fun time with people networking and just relaxing and having fun. It will be a success and we will have plenty of people out there no matter how hard others try to minimize it. We already have 7 bands coming, 10 workshops and 13 speakers all well known in the revolution community. We have already started taking reservations for free tent sites, RV sites and Cabin rentals, the place has a swimming pond, a swimming pool, 3 stages, skeet shooting range, 3 bars, restaurants and food vendors, it will be like a real old fashioned festival for families. The best part is it is affordable for the whole family and being held on at a time when lots are taking their vacations. The fourth will be ended with a huge fireworks display, not a few fire crackers but a real display by professionals.
I hope to see a lot of you there and wish the March in DC all the success possible.
By the way> we did not invite Ron to the festival as we knew or thought he would be in Washington DC but his staff ( Jennifer his scheduler) wrote and asked if he was invited and of course I replied that he would be more than welcome to just send me the date and time he would be there. So I guess he feels it is a good idea or he would not be interested in going to SD in July.
