Who's up for attending convention in Atlanta? At the risk of running off a bunch of my fellow SC FReepers, count me in :)

Sure; I'm already here!

You are a natural born member of DuPage Freepers.

Florida is just your time in the sun.

[spintreebob]

Let’s do it. A Chicagoland FR.

[Forest Keeper]

Hubby and I are looking forward to meeting you and your Mrs., and our new buddy randomhero! :D

We look forward to it too, Jen. :)

[randomhero97]

You guys have any ideas? I think we could include Southern Illinoisians in this as well if we set something up in St. Louis.

[SC Swamp Fox]

If I don’t have a firm work commitment that I can’t get out of, I’ll be there.

[SC Swamp Fox]

The upstate is a pretty long-haul for those of us near the coast. Columbia would be a better choice for a state-wide meeting.

If you do setup and announce a meeting in the upstate, upchuck and I can add a link to your announcement thread to our SC Pings.

[Finny]

So Cal FReeper right here — smack dab in the middle, where LA, OC, and San Bernardino counties meet. Count me in.

[visualops]

I could make it to a meeting in Greenville or Spartanburg but unfortunately don’t have the time, money, or vehicle to go out of town.

[bloodmeridian]

I’m in Georgia. If we can’t pull something together here, I’m willing to head for a nearby state...naturally weekends are best, but...I’m open to opportunities.

[Bob J]

Deja vu.

RE: “Orange County might be perfect for all of SoCal as a central meeting place”

*********

I’m in L.A. but you could be correct — O.C. would draw from Riverside/San Bernardino Counties, plus much of L.A. Even a few Ventura County folks might be persuaded to make that drive to O.C.

And San Diego too.

Not this FReeper!!

[PistolPaknMama]

If the timing is such that we can make a meeting, great!

Hey Jim, there's always coordinating! It's probably easier for us to plan around your schedule. Since we don't know if you're going to be on the east coast on April 3 or July 10 it's hard for us to plan. Give us a time frame and I think we can make it happen.

[Jim Robinson]

Sorry, but at this early point I have no idea when we may be there. Lots of things to firm up.

Keep your powder dry.

[athelass]

What about using Sean Hannity’s Freedom Concert weekends? The San Diego FC is August 7 this year. I bet a lot of us are planning to be there anyway. Sean is doing 10 concerts this year in some of the cities people are talking about already like Atlanta, Houston, New York, and Vegas. The idea of a PAC is essential, I think. We’ve got to do something to combat ACORN and the Obama machine internet fundraising, which they have never stopped, incidentally. How exactly does that work, that he is still/already fundraising for 2012?

[PistolPaknMama]

Keep your powder dry

Powder's dry!

Not a problem on the schedule. Let's work with it as it develops. Keep in touch with one of the SC FReepers. SC Swamp Fox and upchuck are the SC ping list keepers. If you are driving, there should be enough FReepers to put you up a few days on the FReeper railroad. :-)

Ladies & Gentlemen of Westchester and Da Bronx, and any other interested parties, Jim Rob has called for us to unite into non-cyber chapters putting faces with names, an idea long overdue. We need to sub-divide and organize into local units where we can organize, and grow, gather strength and support, invite our like minded representatives, and/or put forth our own candidates, agendas, and ideas.

Free Republic is our home base, but the time has come to put our might where our mouth is, and fight back. Lord knows the GOP isn't capable of it. We now live in a country where we are not in control of our destiny. Our politicians/representatives are not in control of our destiny, and this is blatantly obvious by the disgusting passage of the Porkulus Bill. No one on either side of the aisle even read the damned thing, they couldn't.

So who sold and passed it? THE MEDIA, just like they sold and passed this phony “President” off as viable.

This is our right and obligation. This is our battle, and this is our time - before it's too late. The time for grumbling posts is over, it's time to get off our sorry, fat, lazy, complacent butts, and get into action.

If we really want to put OUR country back on a more healthy course then we will all do this, and do it now.

Freep-mail me, or post to me, and given enough sincere interest, we will set a date - time - place mutually agreeable to get together and have a meeting. THIS is our revolution, and as always, our strength is in our numbers. We are truly blessed enough to have this mechanism at our disposal so let's use it before it's too late.

Not convinced? We have all seen the banks, car companies, retail chains, real estate, houses, manufacturing, textile, tech, and even food industry take a beating in this economy. But the damned nightly news continues to spew its venom and hate into the general population, brainwashing otherwise sensible people with their crap. The NY Times is in financial trouble and it's time to hold ABC - CBS - NBC - CNN... accountable too. A very different and tough battle, but it is what we got.

C’mon gang: Let's ROLL!

thanks, bfl

Bump!
