SE-I have been watching from a distance to see what direction this whole thing would take. I'm convinced that you are doing everything within your ability to do this right. You are to be congratulated--it's like herding cats, isn't it? I am now ready to fully support you and participate in the walk. You asked for suggestions on the message and here's mine: KISS! My recommendation is to focus on constitutionally guaranteed rights with a twist. Nearly everyone has heard of the 2A in the U.S. Constitution and the fact that certain factions in our society are attempting to confuse, obfuscate and make contoversial it's simple meaning. What most Hoosiers don't know is that the law of our land (the constitution of the State of Indiana) explicitly guarantees the RKBA for personal defense. I believe our local constitutional guarantees should be the focus of our message. I have pasted the language of the constitution below and also included the section on Peaceable Assembly which, coincidentally (maybe not?) is immediately followed by RKBA. Anyway, let me know how I can help.
Section 31. Right of assemblage and petition
Section 31. No law shall restrain any of the inhabitants of the State from assembling together in a peaceable manner, to consult for their common good; nor from instructing their representatives; nor from applying to the General Assembly for redress of grievances.
Section 32. Arms--Right to bear
Section 32. The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.
How many Hoosiers do you think are aware of this?
