sfzombie13 324 #1 March 5, 2015 i am mad as hell at our legislature, so i am sponsoring a march on the capitol in charleston wv on 21 march at 11 am. it is to petition the government for a redress of grievances, and i will be giving a speech as well. i urge everyone who lives in wv and has an interest to join me for a fun filled day of exercising our constitutional rights. i am trying to secure refreshments, but no promises. i have grandchildren who live here and i do not want them to end up leaving the state, as has been the necessity for so many for so long. the politicians work for us, and i intend to call them on it. i will have petitions to sign, and will save a spot on the soapbox for anyone who wishes to speak. come join me! http://www.zoomvillage.com/newsStory.cfm/23994/Spring-Into-Action_________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoink 321 #3 March 9, 2015 sfzombie13it is to petition the government for a redress of grievances, and i will be giving a speech as well. [/url] Some notes for public speaking: Pretty much nobody will read a link you provide. You need to be able to state your issues clearly and quickly. WHY should people join you? What big issues are you protesting... if it's a laundry list of small things that requires time or a deep understanding of local history to understand then you're in trouble. Any information you DO provide needs to be presented clearly and professionally. I gave up on your link after the first 2 paragraphs because it reads like it's been written by a pre-schooler with a grudge. On my screen what I see in bold is QuoteI am mad as hell at the legislature, and also at everyone... THAT'S the headline. Does that sound sane to you? Get someone who knows how to write and present formal documents to help you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #4 March 9, 2015 Umm... "Turn WV into the wild west by removing the need for concealed carry permits"? There are several states that have done that (one has been that way for a very, very long time). Some of them are in what used to be the "wild west." None of them have seen a huge increase in violence. Try to tone down the hyperbole. Use facts instead of inflammatory, inaccurate catchphrases."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

sfzombie13 324 #5 March 10, 2015 first of all, thanx for the criticism. writing and presenting formal documents would be a waste of time with the stupidity i deal with here. it seems that the only thing that stirs folks up is emotion, or unions telling people what to think. in order to get the attention, i am trying to mention things that are being talked about the most. it really is not going to do any good at all, as the legislative session is over then, but the weather is nice and the timing fits for the name. honestly, it is a lost cause here, no matter how many people say anything. we had 7000 backed by unions rally last weekend, but the only thing that happened after that was they passed a bill exempting 36000 tanks from inspections that they just voted in last year. 83% of the residents wanted that one to fail, but they don't care about us at all. too much money involved. but i am not ready to take it to the next step, even though it is the only thing that does any good in this state. the only thing i am trying to accomplish is the perception of doing something._________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,523 #6 March 10, 2015 Oh yeah, the idea that the politicians are actually going to do what the voters want, especially when that desire goes against what their masters (the people who bought and paid for the politicians) is pretty ridiculous. We've seen that here in Wisconsin a couple times. When Walker's masters issue their commands, he ignores the wishes of the people and does whatever the hell they want."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
