Call to action: Regional FReeper Conventions: California

I had already begun a Bay Area Conservative group that interest from 10-15 people + a few FReepers who asked if they could join.

I am very interested, but it would have to be on a weekend.

Count my in Jim in O.C.

I live smack dab in the middle of the O.C. and my wife and I are there for any southern CA events.

Ventura? Santa Barbara? or San Fernando Valley? Count me in.

I would be interested in a FReepmeet.

I’m in. Please ping list me for any future events.

Who’s in charge of the L.A./Hollywood corridor?

I haven’t read all of the posts, Jim; but do you have one going in Fresno?

It has to be in one place, and you, as the leader, have to be there. Recall:March for Justice. Why not just do it in D.C. again: after all, it's so emblematic. V's wife.

Hi, After reading a letter by Karl Higgins of Vista, sent to the editor in today’s SD Union, I googled Republic of Free America and came up to this site.
What’s going on with a possible convention in California?

Please get me up-to-date.

Ping to an excellent solution to what is upon us. I'm sorry that my offline life has kept me so busy that I'm just getting around to pinging. Yet we're only at the beginning of this horrible four year nightmare.

Let's get busy. We have a country to save!

Lots of people sounded interested, but only if it were held closer to home and preferably within driving distance.

Ok, if one big central meeting is not feasible, I posted another thread asking about regional meetings. Sounds like a lot more people are interested in this, but everyone's asking when one will be scheduled in their area. Well, folks, please do not wait on me to schedule your FReepmeet.

I would like to explore ideas for taking our country back from the Marxists. I would like to see us rebuild our chapters and networking systems, only stronger than ever. I think we need to form groups or chapters in every congressional district in the country. In fact, right down to the county and city level. We need to form groups of people who can work together to recruit and penetrate the local political organizations at the district and state levels and right on through to national politics.

We need strength in numbers, ideas, candidates, funding and get out the vote efforts. We'll need homegrown networking in case Obama reinstates the fairness doctrine and neuters talk radio and possibly even the Internet.

I think we need to organize in every city, town or community where we can put together a group of ten or more FReepers. The local groups can work with district or regional groups and tie into state groups. We need to penetrate into Republican politics at every level. We need to ensure that the very best CONSERVATIVE candidates are nurtured, recruited, supported and elected at the city, county, state and federal levels.

We need to get to know each other personally. Local networking is the key. Meet and know your local FReeper allies. Exchange phone numbers and email addresses. Build websites and mailing lists. Penetrate into other conservative or political groups. Educate and recruit. We take it back one assembly district, one city, one county, one state at a time. No, belay that. We do it simultaneously in each and every assembly district, city, county, congressional district and state in the entire country!

There is nothing stopping us from getting started today!

If not us, who? If not now, when?

Ok, getting started. I've reviewed where our hits are coming from and not surprisingly the largest numbers come from California, Texas, Florida and New York. I think for sure we should have regional conventions in these areas, and in just about any populous area where we can get a hundred or more FReepers to meet.

There's no reason we shouldn't have meetings in Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Seattle, Atlanta, New Orleans, Las Vegas, etc, just to name a few cities that were suggested on prior threads. Also, we can't forget Alaska and Hawaii! Also, in any local community where we can get ten to twenty-five FReepers to attend.

Any group in any state, region, city or community can organize and schedule a meeting. No need to wait on anyone to get started. In fact some states or regions may need more than one. For example, I can easily see regional conventions being necessary in Northern and Southern California and two or more in Texas and Florida.

I think we can submit and debate ideas on how best to accomplish our goals, how to organize, whether or not we should form a PAC or a 527, how to advance our best ideas and people, etc., whether or not a national convention would be helpful, even selecting delegates for a national convention, but for sure just to start building a network of conservatives on the ground.

With this in mind, would like to start entertaining serious proposals for possible locations and dates for Northern and Southern California. Also will need volunteers to help organize and coordinate our activities.

And hopefully, other states and regions will follow suit.

By the way, I'd like to attend as many of these events as I possibly can, so hopefully, they will not all be scheduled on the same weekend. Hoping we form many chapters and hold dozens of meetings and as many FReepers as possible attend one or more!..."

times are dire.

i would attend a socal meeting of free republic.

Freepers won’t take the initiative to get out of their ruts.

A meeting for our area with free lunch is proposed and so far there is only only one taker.

Is there a Freeper Convention being considered for Sacramento, CA? If so, please let me know.

We live 60 miles from Sacramento and would be interested
in a Sacrmento Convention.
