I just sent an email to the organization that's putting this together:  National Constitutional Coalition of Patriotic Americans

There are "Events" set up on their FB page for each state's gathering.  If there's not a Hawaii POC yet, I'm sure it'll be up to someone volunteering.

Part of the POC's job is to handle permits for the rally.  Maybe someone who already works at the capitol as a volunteer?  (Hint!  Hint!   :thumbsup: )

I'll post whatever reply I get.

Just received a reply on FB chat.  There's no POC for HI yet.

Looking for a volunteer.

This rally is still looking for a Hawaii coordinator.  Mainly for getting the proper permits, etc.

It's 2 weeks from today (Saturday).

I have not seen much interest for this here, probably cause it hasn't been advertised.  This is difficult to market since it's put together by a small unknown organization.  The NRA and HRA aren't backing it and no one has stepped up to coordinate it.  I also don't see a strong purpose for it, it's a general 2a rally.  There's no impending threat of an assault rifle ban, magazine limits, etc and this doesn't have a clear connection to the elections. 

It's go big or go home.  Everyone puts in 100% into this or don't do it.  We need a lot of volunteers to do the prep work and hundreds of people attending the rally.  What I don't want to see is a couple dozen people out there which would hurt our cause.

I can organize it, but I want a devoted team first that is going to have a meeting, go out and advertise it at the stores, clubs, and ranges, and will help with all the planning and logistics.

I get it. Go big or go home.

And only 2 weeks from now makes it hard to organize.

Is the HRA planning any events for us here?

I suggest we scrap the event.  No ones volunteered to help and its not getting much takers.  Not practical to plan the event in less than a week.

I did want to have a rally far in the future.  Assemble at the capitol then march to ala moana park for a bbq.  Maybe in 2020.  Show unity and get everyone involved.  Get a thousand people out there.

Any chance we could organize sooner than 2020 but have another in September or October of 2020 just prior to the election?

Unfortunately, you're right.  We should organize something ourselves.  You think we could get something together before the 2018 gubernatorial election this November? Would be nice to show support for the most 2a friendly candidate. Although we all know it's gonna be a democRAT who wins, looking like Hanabusa at the moment

Maybe next time.  Unfortunately we're the only state that's not doing it.  Maybe when there's actual legislation threatening us.

Ugh!.....

Actual legislation...? Almost everything they have proposed is actual legislation against the 2A community and our rights. But as we are so far removed from the mainland, nobody cares about us. No money in it for them.
