MULTI-STATE RALLIES PLANNED

Austin, TX -- Second Amendment Sisters (S.A.S.) is proud to announce that they will be holding rallies in 18 states on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2001. Plans are for rallies in the following states- California, Connecticut, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Missouri, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

In California they will actually be holding rallies in three different cities on that day. In Florida they will be holding rallies in two different cities. In Colorado they are planning a picnic while in Missouri they will be doing a Card Campaign. Most of the states are planning on having a variety of speakers, from Legislators to Crime Survivors.

Five women on FreeRepublic.com , a “Conservative News Forum” on the Internet, started SAS in December 1999. Their first effort was the Armed Informed Mothers' Rally and March on Mother’s Day 2000, which drew approximately 5000 to the grounds of the Washington Monument and thousands more to rallies in cities all over the United States. A new movement was born. Since then, Second Amendment Sisters has welcomed a growing number of women and men from across the country, all dedicated, unpaid, volunteers who passionately believe in the basic human right of self-defense. 

“It is crucial to let our state legislatures know that the right to self-defense is vitally important to women. We can no longer sit on the sidelines of this debate while we are put in harm’s way by dangerous notions masquerading as common sense,” stated Juli Bednarzyk, SAS president. 


Further information will be posted at the new S.A.S. web address of http://www.2asisters.org in the rally area.
