Boy does that sound fun, I'll bet there will be so much awesome that happens, what will you do with it all?
If I ever become a whistle blower or a woman, which seems to be possible somehow these days, I will protect myself as I do now: Jacketed hollow points and sarcasm. If either of those things should ever happen, please, hold no conferences, the NRA already takes care of that.
(truly, I would have thought acorn would do a better job of re-branding, you have to be kidding.)
