Over the weekend, the posted schedule for FRC Action's Washington Briefing changed. Now Mike Huckabee is scheduled to speak on Saturday morning, with the straw poll voting continuing until 1:00 p.m. Saturday.
This is good news if you couldn't take off work on Friday but you can make it to DC for Saturday, October 20. Now you can see Huckabee speak and vote in person.
The bad news is that Huckabee won't be able to speak until a couple hours before the straw poll voting closes. This means it is extremely important that everyone who can attend on Friday urge as many other conference-goers as possible to consider Huckabee as a viable, electable candidate and to come listen to Huckabee on Saturday morning before committing to any other candidate.
This is also another reason why everyone who cannot attend at all should join FRC Action and vote in the Presidential straw poll online, and urge your friends and family to do so as well. The new schedule disadvantages Huckabee among conference-goers, so the online community needs to make up for the stacked deck. (See One Mom and I Heart Huckabee for more ideas on getting out the online vote.)

This schedule is tough. He'll be speaking about 11am Saturday and the straw poll closes at 1pm. Rudy's been added to the same session that Mike is in Saturday morning ... that could be a good thing, because that could cause more people to hang around through Saturday. Rudy gets to talk first according to the revised schedule. h
Mole: Hi. This is my first comment on your blog. I really appreciate you leading the charge to get people to the Briefing and to the FRC straw poll.
I hope you agree with me on the importance of "priming" the hosts of the Briefing and other leaders who will attend so that they will follow through on Huckabee's upcoming win of their straw poll (and hopefully wait until after his speech to vote). They will need courage to follow through on the evidence that Gov. Huckabee is the choice of Social Conservatives. Could you help me promote this priming by encouraging people to send letters to these leaders that are similar in nature to the two most recent posts to my blog? Please take a look. Thank you.
