ok here is the copy/paste from the originator of these shirts, i have remmoved this persons name:
[font "Consolas"]Hello Zak,[/font]
I am glad that you are getting such a good response, and I am happy to try and help here, but I will need to do some research on how to do it right. The T-Shirt came from an online source, and there are some economics to figure out how to do better. The initial order that you got a piece of was a big rush to try and get them onto delegates to the conventions, and I did not mind paying for that because I am so pissed off about HB 141, but they were expensive (good quality shirt, rush job, worked out to about $30 per shirt with shipping and rush processing). I should be able to do better with more time to shop smarter. One challenge will be that the prices really come down with bigger numbers in an order, but I don't think we should get in the business of ordering a large quantify and having an inventory. I will call the company and see if there is a way that other customers have done this in the past. I also recall that someone made some pretty good points that the shirt might be better phrased as "use" instead of "access" so some revisions may be in order. I will look into it and let you know what I hear. This may be the something I can do to feel a bit better about resisting HB 141, I am still livid about this. I wonder what would happen if I took one some to Cabela's and asked the manager to sell it with proceeds to go to UWG? They probably need to consider where their political bread is buttered and won't do it, but it is an interesting idea. As you can see, I am stewing.
Best regards, XXXXXXX
