It's not a soldier, first responder or PGR member's funeral, so the PGR has no official role there.

This event is a protest, and the PGR is not a protest group. Attending events like these, which are outside of our mission, can cause problems for the PGR's 501(c)(3) status.

I'd love to go to this as a private citizen, but I'd be covering up the PGR logo on my bike.

Agreed. This type of event goes against the PGR mission. Anyone is free to attend if this is something that they believe in, but all PGR gear, decals and other logos should be left at home. Only takes one...

I'm afraid that ignoring the WBC won't make them go away. They are very similar to the herpes virus. Rock on PGR!

All true, but remember the reason the PGR came to be was because, and in response to, the WBC.

True, but we have grown far, far beyond that.

If the WBC's Inbred Tour Bus of Hate drove off a cliff tomorrow, we'd still be standing the flag line the next day...
