LAKEWAY, Texas, December 3, 2003--The Second Amendment Sisters (SAS) are proud to announce that they will be holding the SAFER, or Second Amendment Freedoms for Everyone Rally on Mother’s Day 2004.

The SAFER event will be held on Sunday May 9, 2004 in Washington, DC, currently scheduled for Freedom Plaza from 11am until 3pm.

The first SAS rally, which was named the “Armed Informed Mothers Rally & March”, was organized in direct response to the so-called “Million” Mom March (MMM). Both rallies were held on Mothers Day 2000.

“It is important that we continue to counter the anti-rights crowd head on. While we really would prefer not to have a rally on Mothers Day, we felt a great need to be there on this Mothers Day, yet again.” stated Dianne Sawyer, President of Second Amendment Sisters, “Mothers are the backbone of this nation. Increasingly, more women are arming themselves. Women are realizing that they personally have to take steps to assure their own safety, and often the safety of their children. By far, the safest means of self-defense is a firearm.”

SAS, an all unpaid volunteer organization, has grown into a national organization with dues paying members throughout the United States, and Coordinators in nearly 30 states. “Self Defense is a Basic Human Right”™ is the SAS motto.

For further information and updates on the SAFER event, please check the special SAFER page on the SAS website at www.2asisters.org/SAFER or call 877-798-2828

Are there any SAS'ers in the SF Bay Area, or in the SF East Bay? I'd sure like to see a rally in Sacramento, as I'm guessing that a few of the Million Mommies may show up there on Mother's Day.
