Sure, heres some advanced Notice for the net event involving the NRA.

Sometime next semester, we will be inviting the NRA back to participate
in a debate (format still not decided, but we're leaning towards
moderated) with Hand Gun Control, Inc.  The NRA has indicated its support
for this dedate, our next step is to co-ordinate with HCI (or some other
group or groups). 

So, start making your signs now.  Protests and particpation heartly
welcomed and encouraged.  (From any side on the issue)
