came from my MD rkba list:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>On Saturday, January 22, 2000 I had the (dubious) honor of being the only
>pro-RKBA person attending the Million Mom March organizational meeting for
>northern Virginia.
>
>I should have brought along my anti-nausea medication, but I managed
>persevere without it.
>
>The meeting (and thus, my notes) was a bit disorganized and didn't follow
>the agenda very well, so please bear with me if you have trouble following
>my notes.
>
>First, there were about 30 people in attendance, mostly women. Speakers
>included Peter Lawson, Legislative Counsel for Congressman Jim (I beat my
>wife) Moran, Jim (I have a concealed-carry permit) Sollo from Virginians
>Against Handgun Violence (VAHV), the Reverend Jim Atwood (who admitted to
>being a gun owner), and Patricia Thomas of the Bell Campaign and VAHV.
>
>Funding for the MMM is mainly from the Soros Foundation, with the Bell
>Campaign lending its 501(c)3 status for donations. I didn't get the name of
>the company providing logistical support; it's a large organization known
>nationwide for providing behind-the-scenes aid in administering and
>organizing rallies.
>
>Endorsements (on their web page) include Rosie O'Donnell (who will be
>pushing it on her show), Oprah (ditto), NAACP, Children's Defense Fund, NOW,
>and HCI. A complete list is on their web site.

>Sollo stated that there are over 100,000 people with concealed-carry permits
>in Virginia, and he griped that the preemption law prohibited localities
>from passing their own firearm laws. He was hopeful that Fairfax County
>would get its bill to prohibit carry in county buildings through the General
>Assembly during this session; I didn't have the heart to tell him that it
>had died in committee last Wednesday, just two days after their anti-RKBA
>demonstration in Richmond.
>
>He also made gun owners sound like militia/NWO-fearing whackos. I again bit
>my tongue as I was there to gather intel*
>
>Lawson propagated the gun-show loophole lie, stating that anyone could buy
>any gun at a gun show w/o a background check. I really wanted to call him
>on it by inviting him to the show in Leesburg to do just that, but it was
>too early in the meeting to blow my cover.
>
>The group then selected committee chairmen and chairwomen; I have the list
>of their names and contact info.
>
>Finally, they will have representatives manning tables at the following two
>venues to pass out literature:
>
>Action Alliance for Virginia Children and Youth Conference/Child Advocacy
>Day on February 8th in Richmond, VA.

>Would it be possible to get someone there to hand on JPFO's "Grandpa Jack"

>Feminist Expo 2000, Baltimore, MD on April 1st

>Could Maryland Citizens Defense League provide have a women's self-defense
>table?

>Anyhow, that's about it. I snagged some of their flyers "to put up"* as
