Well, it's been very last minute for us... we have a lot going on in our personal lives, but feel this is important. The week before the rally, we had already had plans to be in western TN for a hog rally there, working with Phil Hoffman who is creating a FT event on the end of the HOG rally. It's about half way to MO. We're hoping the raffle bike will be done to trailer it to these events, as it is a major fundraiser for the consortium. Because we are traveling long distance, we don't know how many will be joining us, but have found even a small group of bikes with FairTax flags gain attention. We have a stop in Springfield MO where Jack Edge is working with a FairTax supporting bike shop to combine their bike nite with a pre-rally on Thurs. the 11th. In Columbia, we will have a booth at the event, and perhaps a breakout session about our program - our goals are education & events, working with dist'ing supplies at cost where needed. We have more info at our website, www.grassrootsfreedomride.com but truthfully, this thing has grown faster than i can keep up! We won't be having a specific ride or event the day of the rally. We had a poker run in SC prior to their 3 hour rally, but that takes local time and manpower to organize. Hopefully we'll grow chapters along our route to take the FairTax message to bikers who are inherently freedom lovers - that starts with economic freedom.

Dave I am heading down on Friday the 12th I am the rider captain for the Chippewa Valley FairTax Riders, but as of now I am the only one going from here.
