Any thoughts yet on what strategies might be used by USKTA? Political lobbying? Grass roots "get the information out"? Organized demonstrations?

I'm asking only because I've felt a bit burned by other groups in the past. Good intentions + unplanned or ineffective tactics = no benefit and waste of money. I'm thinking back to years ago when I donated to Greenpeace. I'm all for save the whales and stuff like that, but one of their tactics of rappelling down the sides of US Navy ships hanging banners was worthless at best, most likely totally counterproductive. So despite the good cause and intentions, I no longer donate.

I don't know what my point is here. It's probably not the question I asked up top. More of a spoken hope that USKTA will move forward with a reasonable plan and make good use of moneys that come in, which will probably be on the low end of the financial scale as the organization is just starting out. Any comments on how the "interested parties" numbers are looking? I realize that this may be (should be?) privilaged information at this early date, so no pressure to answer. Just wondering - that's all. I haven't done much Internet searching on this, but I haven't bumped into much knowledge or interest with random surfing. I was expecting to run into front-page lengthy discussion over on BladeForums, but I did not see that - not obvious to me, anyway. Not in the Politics forum, not in Knife Laws. Maybe I just missed it. If it wasn't for visiting the ETS website, I probably would have no idea that any of this was going on.
