I would strongly urge against this.

First, it is ineffective.  Second, it burns people out.

A far more effective use of Bev Harris's time would be to get her invited to
a joint seminar held by the Bell Policy Center and the Independence
Institute.

If you are not familiar with these institutions then you should be.  The
Bell Policy Center is a left-leaning organization formed in response to the
highly effective Independence Institute.

I know that the Independence Institute holds regular sessions for
legislators and they are well-attended.  I believe, but am not certain, that
the same is true the Bell POlicy Center.

If we could pull it off, a combination of The Bell Policy Center
(http://www.thebell.org/) and The Independence Institute (www.i2i.org)
promoting Bev Harris to legislators would be news and highly effective ...
and it would not burn out the volunteers with a meaningless demonstration on
the capitol steps.
