Political rallies tend to be all hype, which ain't my thing, but I'd be happy
to buy a ticket or three anyhow, especially if the LUG needs them to get a
table at the rally.  (Better, of course, would be if there's a way to make
non-ticketed donations which would help get that table without preventing
someone else from going to the rally...)

If you can get your foot in the door for this, I'd definitely be willing to
help out (schedule permitting, of course).
