People have been given options now... but my guess is the excuses will continue to flow.

I was at the one on Sat the 19th and I'll be at the one tomorrow on Friday. I had to talk it over with the boss, but he is flexible... I'll work a few more hours today and a few hours over the weekend to make up for the few hours I miss tomorrow. If I couldn't do that, I could always just take a half a day of PTO. I know PTO is precious and people don't want to "waste" it... but I find the cause important enough to use a half a day of vacay if I have to.
As a matter of fact, I DID attend the Saturday rally on the 19th despite a nasty cough and cold. I attended and then I came home, took my meds and collapsed for the rest of the weekend and holiday. It's not a matter of "wasting" PTO, it's a matter of having things I have to do at work on a workday. The media were there and reported on the rally even if they did deliberately undercount us. I just don't think they'll need to undercount you tomorrow since most gun owners aren't Obama voters getting their Obama phones and Obama checks.
