This just popped in their Facebook Page:
Shannon Watts has to be pissed. The NRA in her territory? She lives in Zionsville which is 18 miles from the Indiana Convention Center, so basically we are gonna be pissing the tulips in her backyard as far as she is concerned.
Now, I am sure they will seek some sort of confrontation because the media will have all the cameras on them while tens of thousands of attendees will be ignored. If you, lucky dog, is going to the Annual Meeting, I can only give this piece of advice as you walk by them:
Kill them with kindness…. it is hard to accept defeat but we must help them.
PS: I realized that they are not specific as why the gathering and the reply from the followers seem to indicate they are unaware of the NRA AM. Let’s see if Internet Tough Talk translates to presence in the street. Anyway, it shall be fun.
And if you are going, take pictures and share!
Heh. I’ll be there.
If you see them and they look thirsty, buy them some lemonade 😀
Wayne LaPierre should take them some Starbucks coffee.
I wish I could go. I would take pictures of all three of them.
I tend to think they are going to protest just because they like to do that kind of thing. However, this is a pretty common tactic to use even without the visible protest just because you can attract earned media simply for being in the same city. They already know the national press will be in town, and they figure they can piggy back off of that and appear in just about every story that mentions the NRA convention.
And remember, if you say “hi” to them, you will be accused of bullying them.
This should be the official-wear when dealing with MDA
We should provide them with free passes, so they could go inside and actually learn something about firearms to reduce their ignorance. Of course, they would never avail themselves of such a great opportunity because guns have cooties.
“…actually learn something…”
Best laugh I’ve had today. I salute you, sir!
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
[…] Go read this article… […]
If you see any “moms” there, go ahead and demand some action…
Well, they named their group to sound like a porno movie title, this is what they should expect.
Need to start an “office pool” on MDA turnout, 10×10 grid is fine, no need to worry about triple digits from the moms.
Do you think they will read off a list of names of “gun victims” which include murderers and terrorists like the protesters last year did?
I don’t think so… They may get some very selected names and read them but only when TV cameras are present
Welcome them.
[…] Miguel reports on Moms Demand Action’s plans to protest the NRA Annual Meeting. Whether they will protest directly, or just do their own event nearby to try to draw media attention away from the convention remains to be seen. Last year in Houston, which wasn’t too long after Moms Demand got started, they managed a protest, but it wasn’t all that impressive. With more wind coming out of their sails every day, I can’t imagine they’ll do better at Indianapolis, but as Miguel mentions, this is her backyard. Also, with Bloomberg’s money, they can afford to pay for buses. […]
many of the NRA attendees are ….MOM’s…..who have principles and common sense….but NEVER an agenda…just want to be able to protect their self and family members….imho
Another good reason not to allow women on their cycle to be allowed to vote.
FYI 1 Million Moms Against Gun Control will be counter protesting Moms Demand Action. Please join us as we show Shannon who the REAL gun lobby is! You can find us on facebook.
Give them a wee bit hell!
I just liked 1 Million Moms Against Gun Control In Facebook 🙂
Thank you MOMS for standing up for the constitution that our guns protect.
