The more I read about the upcoming “Lobby Day / MLK Day Rally” in Richmond VA, the more issues with it I have to think about. The more I think about it, the more uncertain I become. There are a number of people both smarter and more experienced than I who have provided rational and informed observations, all of which make very good sense to this poor soul.

I would refer interested readers to The Raconteur Report, Matt Bracken, and NCRenegade, to mention a few. Of course, VCDL is the primary source for rally plan information, and of course their position seems to have been clear from the beginning.

If I lived in a county where the sheriff and/or county government might be even slightly amenable to reasonable input, I would focus my attention there. Unfortunately, for reasons both beyond my control and not germane to this discussion, at this point in time I find myself living in a county where the sheriff was elected on a platform completely antithetical to liberty, and – needless to say – the county government is cut from the same cloth.

Why I would go to Richmond

• It will prove important, quite possibly historic
• The state needs to be held accountable for its attempted tyranny
• The issue is as important to my state as it is to Virginia
• It is a cause in which I believe

Why I would not go to Richmond

• It may be the “buffalo jump” that Bracken and others think it is
• It will almost certainly have no effect on the VA state government
• It may turn into a confrontation like Charlottesville
• It is a fertile ground for government covert action

On balance, I am going to defer to my better, more “mature” judgment. For personal reasons of interest only to me, I will watch from ‘down the road’ and pray for the safety of all attendees. I do believe that Monday, January 20th, 2020, will be a significant date in the republic’s history. I hope for us all that it will not be tragically so.
