Annual Harrisburg Rally - June 8, 2020

[fallenleader]

No, it is not produced by the Lehigh Valley Tea Party.

This is the official flyer from Rep Metcalfe's office. In defense of that office, I have to say that I can't believe all the bitching and complaining about a flyer. I also can't believe that people want to take politics out of it, and others want to take socialism out of it. This is totally bizarre to me. Politics and socialism are the threat! But hey, let's not mention that?

Don't like the flyer? Make your own. It doesn't matter. What matters is getting people there. Got a better way? Go for it. Got a better flyer? Go for it. How many people will you (not you personally Bern) motivate to come? Will you go to local gun clubs and get word out? Will you distribute this (or your own) flyer at gun stores?

IMO, there is so much more important stuff to be discussing and *doing* than complaining about a few words on a flyer.

i'm just prodding the bear for fun, the flyer looks fine. but word of mouth is the most important thing. we need to speak about the rally, encourage people to go to the rally, offer rides and etc.
people routinely walk past papers on the wall, they frequently try to get past the ones that say "CLOSED" and tug on the door a few times before figuring it out.

and if people DO want a better flyer, go make one? or has PA passed a law prohibiting the use of paint and posting 8x11 pages on walls?

Don't worry, we are.


You know we can be critical without being required to perform rework?

Great. if you, or anyone else, has talent and time then do it. I agree that one flyer is better than a few different ones, but if not liking the one we have stops someone from distributing it, I say by all means make one that you'll distribute.

I think that people may have a bit of a misconception about this rally and its organization. Surely, we don't have some professional, well-paid, corporate team out there doing this rally. It is really just Metcalfe and probably some limited staff. I suspect that there are laws on how much his office can do. What they can't, it seems some volunteers tend to pick up.

So, the expectation of some, seems to be out of line with reality. If folks here can produce a better product, get involved. Produce a quality draft and submit it for next year.

You make a lot of assumptions.

When offered to be given help, his office sometimes tells you to pound sand.

Ask me know I know.

Our expectations do not exceed reality, rather, whomever made the flyer doesn't have a firm grasp of reality.

Here's my version...

I got a table at a gun show at the Venango County Fairgrounds.

I know it's spartan, not very creative..but it's simple...BTW I had to have something for this weekend and set up tonight by 8:00....... and didn't see the flyer until just now.

But I don't like it.

I know my work is not very creative, or fancy or whatever. But if a person has the slightest inclination to attend, sparkles and colors won't push them over the edge...IMO.

A simple reminder and/or suggestion to get off their dead ass should be good enough.

I also attached a Poofa info sheet..until we get a real one.

Looks good to me Robert!! Just the basics that maybe bring up some questions for more discussion...

Nobody says "Monday eight June".



Just busting your balls. (but it's true)
Tip: don't underline things. It doesn't make it stand out and does make it harder to read.

Actually a lot of folks, especially military or dealing with internationals do just that. No question as to the date in that format!

Yeah, I know it's "military", it's also not "normal".

Yes. Normal people would say Monday, the 8th of June.
