Call to action: Possible Action Items for Regional FReeper Conventions

Feb 18, 2009 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

Just throwing out a handful of ideas for discussion:

• How to develop local chapters/conservative grassroots groups.

• Develop a conservative platform and a plan for recruiting, training, supporting and electing conservative candidates.

• Develop ideas for building an effective nationwide conservative grassroots network.

• How to combat the Fairness Doctrine? Install offshore servers? Private BBS? Email/Phone/Fax lists? Shortwave radio? Local/personal networking?

• Working with other conservative groups, political parties?

• Would a FReeper PAC be feasible? Practical? Effective?

• Would a FReeper 527 organization be feasible? Practical? Effective?

• How to infiltrate/influence local political organizations?

• Select and fund delegates for a national convention should our membership decide one is needed.

You are not the only one thinking through these things. Our way of life is being tested, rather it’s being usurped.

Even if the 5% of the people on this board are motivated, that will be enough to start what needs to be started in terms of communication networks. Communication is No.1, PERIOD! Without it, we are blind, deaf, and dumb.

"As for me, a political neophyte, hope somebody will define a PAC and a 527"

Here you go, squarebarb.

Jim, is there a way to add the latest (above thread) to the main page for quick reference for all FReepers? Thanks.

Excellent.

We need a group that can meet in the Mpls/St. Paul Mn area! I can be a part of it for sure.

Got a question for you on #20 since you guys have media “access” so to speak.

[Rusty0604]

I have opened PACs and do reporting for them for my job so I have some experience I would be glad to volunteer. I am in CA, bay area.

My brother in law and I have a survival pact. We will pool resources. Oddly, he is a looney lefty, and I do mean LOONEY. Air America and the whole bit. But he is a Marine Iraq vet, and does have sidearms and rations. Paranoia can be good.

I think pooling resources on a wider scale would be very beneficial.

Good idea. Sign me up. I belong to several grassroots organizations and am active in local Republican party politics. Conservatives need to band together and start working on our agenda at the local level and build from there.

Florida FReeper reporting for duty, sir. I have admin/management experience, and a passion for politics. Ping me to any Florida Freeper list, and this one as well. We can be no less willing than heros like Todd Beamer and his band of patroits over that field in PA in answering this call, as the circumstance is no less dire. Lets Roll.......

[cblue55]

Sign me up. I need to get involved in the worst sort of way, before my head explodes.

[goodnesswins]

Oregon - some of us are starting to do this....”organize”....but, need help....and will help.

[mockingbyrd]

I’m in southwest WA....sounds like a great idea to me!

[TheKidster]

A FR PAC or 527 would be an excellent thing to start and a logical next step for FR. Forming local chapters with boots on the ground is a must for future protests and the like.

[sasafras]

Jim - this is what we need. We need to start turning words into actions.

[MtnMan101]

The "FEAR" word (you know, the tactic Obummer uses) is called: MILITIA use it often, use it strong, use it loud. Guess what, Militia's are also legal! Leave the enemy with this image......... FORM A LOCAL MILITIA, NOW!

I’m on every week on “Fox and Friends,” but the subject is textbook bias, so I can’t usurp the format for a rant.
