Woody Allen once famously said, "Eighty percent of success is showing up."

If you live in Huntington, South Charleston, Charleston, or anywhere else near the West Virginia state capitol, on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 7pm you should either by at the Charleston Civic Center Little Theatre or The Culture Center of the Capitol Complex.

There are many ways to help change public policy. One of them is to show up to events like this and provide encouragement to those who share your views.

Those living near the Capital are blessed with multiple chances to get involved tonight. For those of us cheering you on from other corners of the state, make us proud by showing the power of showing up.
