Call to action: Regional FReeper Conventions: California

I'm interested.

My thoughts would be possibly Memphis or Dallas for national, and Sacramento or San Jose for California.

Thanks.

I would like to get the word out that there is a protest of the Porkulous bill, planned for Seattle tomorrow at Westlake Park, 401 Pine Street, from 12-3. I don’t have a ping list and the WA board doesn’t have automatic noticing anymore.

I’ve been doing my best to meet and get to know as many FReepers as possible! It really builds a bond, and we have so much in common (and have so much FUN together!). It is strength in action, and, Jim, you’re right, this way we can get around any nutty laws that are passed before we can take back our America!

[KoRn]

Great idea Mr Robinson!!

I’m good for any meetings in SW VA.

I’m wondering if the effort should be in one or three important states ONLY, to concentrate efforts and resources and consturct a basis for expansion. If FreeRepublic could influence elections in California, Florida, and New York, the wave created would sweep nationwide like a tsunami!

Why don’t we settle this the easy way...

We form a schedule to meet in each states capitol city?

Those that can attend won’t have THAT far to go!

Sounds good.....Maybe claim we're part of ACORN and demand a share of the 2 Billion.

Will also need to become precinct election workers and learn the art of producing enough mysterious ballots to overcome any vote-count differential.

A complete database of headstone pictures from as many cemetaries as possible will also be an absolute requirement.

Also, Freepers should be required to vote in as many precincts in as many states as possible within a 10-hour drive of their home.

Does anybody know an ultra-right-wing billionaire "Soros" type?

Northern California here. I recommend Sacramento. Bay Area is too far and probably needs its own group.

Randomhero, I’m also in the St Louis metro area and am interested in a FReepmeet. So, are you in charge of getting it set up? :)

Ping to FK. FYI. You interested?

[SuperLuminal]

"We form a schedule to meet in each states capitol city?"

Good idea. Really big states (geographically) might need 2 or more such meeting locations.

But....really need a national meeting (with reps from each state) to show whether this idea will be supported enough to be really useful.

Soros won’t be around long, neither will Buffet — not only are they old, but they are prominent and independent due to their fortunes, and will be purged. Al Gore first though. :’)

[randomhero97]

Sounds like a plan. I have a few ideas for a location. I would like to find out how many FReepers we have in the area and what distance we want to define as this region. Let's see how many we can involve and bounce around a few ideas.

The problem is finding conservative local politicians for speaking engagements. I actually live on the Illinois side and they are hard to come by.

Did you know that you can fly your state flag on your Free Republic home page?

It helps to organize when members fly the flag of the state in which they live.

[randomhero97]

Did not know that. Thanks.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

How about using GoToMeeting.com or something like that. It might help with Troll control.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Pinging teh list.

[Tennessee Nana]

PING for CA FReepers...
