Your first point was better than your second one. :)

[Lazamataz]

Thank you, kind sir. :)

Free Republic colleagues ... here's a proposal for a "Free Republic Action Task Force"

All it requires is (first and foremeost) Jim Robinson's "seal of approval" ...

and twenty (20) dedicated, intelligent, mature Patriots ...

NO MONEY IS REQUIRED .... isn't that wonderful ?

==============================================

It was observed today at Free Republic ...

They don't see how little money it takes to organize and activate a small group. And the idea is to start a "movement", which also does not take a lot of money. And there are a lot of disgruntled people who have some money to donate/spend who might love to be a backer of a movement. ==============================================


The 2015-01-03 rallies cost a total of "zero" dollars to set-up and organize and promote (with the exception of internet provider service and the monthly electric bill)

In less than FOUR weeks ... over 150 Facebook Conservative groups were invited, 2,000+ e-mails were sent out around America ... the organizer (a Facebook "newbie") attracted over 3,250 "new" Facebook "Friends" in less than three (3) weeks.

==============================================

Not being "snarky" here, just illustrative ... however, "naysayers" are invited to leave the DAMNED discussion at this point ...

Just go somewhere else if all you want to do is "bitch" ...

==============================================

Just imagine what could have accomplished if a "team" of fifteen (15) individuals worked together for eight (8) weeks (instead of the five weeks before the 2015-01-03 rallies) ?

That is "clearly" the approach for the next "event".

And ... if Free Republic were the "key" organizer ...

what if each of the ten (10) Free Republic coordinators were in touch with "five" Free Republic state chapters each ...

coordinating locations, logistics, etc ...

and items such as "follow-on" tasks (calling congress, etc) were clearly explained to everyone ...

with the necessary "information infrastructure internet links" set-up at Free Republic.

The necessary event "Operational Security" would be assisted if the ten (10) Free Republic coordinators had a special access code for the "Event Public Planning" links.

Free Republic "Coordinators Number Eleven and Twelve" would focus on "radio" contacts (Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Levin, savage, Josh Bernstein, etc) and "news" contacts (including Fox, Drudge, Blaze, RedState, WND, etc) ... respectively ...

Free Republic "Coordinator Numbers 13 and 14" would focus on inviting "high profile" guests to the "rally events" across the nation, including local conservative talk show hosts, congressmen, etc. ... east and west of the Mississippi ...

Free Republic "Coordinator 15" would liason with Freedom Works, Heritage Foundation, Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Louis Gohmert etc.

Weekly status meetings could easily be done with "Go-To-Meeting"

Now ... how's that for a "back of the napkin engineering sketch" ?

All Free Republic needs to do this is 15-20 "trusted" and "vetted" persons ... and Jim Robinson's approval ...

Excellent editorial, Mr. Mataz. Thank you for the ping, Sir.

[TheOldLady]

More like terabytes.

[Vendome]

Tell me about it and the second point would have put the exclamation point on it.

But, I completely lost my thought.

The numbers are what they are, as you pointed out and unless something drastic happens, there is no way to get a higher participation rate, for either side.

I think the left has pretty much been disappointed by the Kenyan and just want to ride this out until their next dopey sloganeer says “Give Socialism a Chance”.

We, or I, have pretty concluded there is nothing we can do to get a congress of 1994 to act in ways congruent with putting this country on the open path to prosperity.

Further, many seem willing to aquiesce to the viewpoint of China’s ascendancy, which is very short sighted.

And I think we too have given up on this president ever being in jeopardy, nor any of the acolytes who burn candles to their god, to find safe haven or harbor.

Certainly, our ass clowns will never do anything to bring this administration to heel or at the very least stymie it and ensure Barry is at least tied with Carter for incompetence.

I know I just want to go back to making money and just be involved from my wallet and occasional meetings with representatives.

Rambling response but, I’ve been kidnapped and forced into boredom shopping at Saks, Williams-Sonoma, Barney’s, etc...

Pointless day, again.

Forced into boredom?? Heck, THAT sounds like a GREAT day, to me! Lucky ;^)

[Vendome]

Believe me, this has devolved to such a one sided activity anymore it just sucks being here

It’s more like work instead of a fun day or experience.

If it wasn’t for some beautiful women out here, I think I would have handed her my car keys and gone home.

Which, I am close to doing....

[trisham]

Maybe you could talk her into shopping online in the future.

In Laz’s case, it is just one big floppy...

[GeronL]

lolz

I ain’t touching that with a 20 foot Ethernet cable

[Vendome]

Redeemed.

Took me to lunchbat Scala, in The Drake Hotel.

Paid for it, insisted we eat up.

Duck Confit, Olives, Pomme Fritte, some Pork Noodle(forgo5 name) and terrific sorbets for dessert (peach & mango).

All is well and now we’re at Neimans and I’m relaxed again.

Fendi purses suck though...

[trisham]

That sounds heavenly. She’s a wise woman.

[Vendome]

Stupid Fendi.

Told her never to buy their crap and went Prada for the Galleria Bag and they found a beautiful Red Purse by VBH.

Covered her birthday present in one credit card swipe.

Done-0-la

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks, Laz!

[sport]

There is one in every crowd.

This little Ponderosa has many tribes.

Stay true. It's coming.

Nicely written.

By the way, Askel5, if you still pop in, I’ve been writing. Come see. Article #1.
