It's never too late so long as people refuse to give up. It may be "too late" to move a large slow group for the 13th, but there will be more fights coming. With that in mind, can you educate a relative noob on what exactly MSC is? I'm assuming it's some membership organization of some type. Do you have a contact with the leadership of said group? Have you given them a call to ask them to get the word out, however late, to their membership? Can you help facilitate a meeting between this group and those doing the leg work for ItsTime2A should both organizations be interested?
As for you not getting any mailings from ItsTime, that's a head scratcher to me. There was a bit of a stretch where there wasn't much going on and I didn't get contacts, but I know for a fact they sent out an e-mail to everyone last week because I got one of said mass e-mails. Maybe pop on over to the site and put your address in again? I know from experience in another group that sometimes the problem can be one of handwriting - you write your address on a sheet of paper at a meeting and it looks clear at the time but there's confusion on the part of whoever eventually types that into a database at some point days later and that 1 becomes a lower-case "L" or an "I" or something similarly minor yet critical.
You can catch up here: OUTREACH, big opportunity What you ask has been done. I convinced the "It's Time" people to come to the MSC annual meeting, and they even spoke before the group, and met the leaders there; which was really AWESOME of them to do. I believe the head of Mass Sportsmen's Council is Mike Moss or something like that, and he acknowledges there could and should be better communications, and was open to ideas. I am going to attempt to reach out to him tomorrow. The only way they "get the word out" to their membership is through a monthly newsletter. This seems to be the real bottleneck, and there isn't really a way around it, short of trying to get phone numbers and calling them all, or getting individual addresses. Many do not use computers.
I don't know on the mailings. I know at least 2 of the people running It's Time 2A have my email address, and I've put it into their web site at least twice, if not thrice. I just figured nothing gets sent out, which seemed strange with so much going on. No word from the NRA either. I know they have sent out alerts (VERY RARELY) in the past.
EDIT:
Since posting last night, I received my first email from "It's Time 2A" at 10:30 last night! Thanks! Now I know I am getting these, and that you guys are still around.
