Learn what REALLY works in a seminar
specifically designed for CONSERVATIVE activists -
taught by instructors from the "Leadership Institute!"

Sponsored by the Free Republic Network (Los Angeles Chapter)

[RonDog]

And, even if you cannot attend the all-day "Activism 101" seminar:

Please come to our SECOND seminar
"Activism 102"
and it will be held on the SAME DAY (4/26),
at the SAME PLACE (HACIENDA Hotel, near LAX),

but this one: 1 - is FREE, 2 - only lasts TWO HOURS (from 5 pm to 7 pm)
i.e., it starts just AFTER the full-strength "Activism 101" seminar ends...

I understand that most of you have LIVES, and FAMILIES, and JOBS - unlike the "anti-war" crowd.

And, I can certainly appreciate your very legitimate concerns about time and money.

We can call this FREE, two-hour post-seminar gathering at the HACIENDA Hotel a "summit meeting of local leaders," or an "after-action fellowship" - or even "Activism 102" - but WHATEVER we call it, we need YOU to be there - to help us plan for the post-Iraq future.

What should conservative activists do NEXT???

Now that we have liberated IRAQ,
some have suggested the we "Liberate HOLLYWOOD."

Others would like to "Boot BOXER in 2004." Or Recall Davis.

What do YOU think?

Can you join us SOMETIME on Saturday, April 26,
to help us plan our future strategy and tactics?

Will YOU be at "Activism 101" -
or at "Activism 102" -
or at BOTH?

Please RSVP - here on this thread, or via FReep-mail to me, privately.

One of the MINOR CHANGES in the schedule, I think - will be that the FIRST hour, from 8am to 9am will now be for "informal networking" - until the long-distance travellers all arrive - and then we will hear from our "secret weapon" TED HAYES at about 9 am, after which we will have MANY mini-classes from the wonderful Leadership Institute instructors - about how to become more effective political activists.

All of the above will be in the San Miguel room (I think) - just above the restaurant.

And, the post-seminar "Activism 102" planning and strategy meeting - from 5pm to 7pm will be held the the large back room of the coffee shop of the HACIENDA Hotel.

Everyone can PARK in the HACIENDA Hotel parking lot, and we will have tokens for you - so that that parking is FREE.

Ted's a hoot!

[Rabid Dog]

Last one there is a rotten egg (or RAT?)!

[Auntie Mame]

I'll be there, RonDog, bright and early at 8:00 a.m. Just printed out the map and driving directions.

Can't wait to get educated by the Leadership Institute.

[Bob J]

I'll be there with ya!

[Joy Angela]

I say...

Sounds fun!

[HighRoadToChina]

I too will be there bright and early with my better half!

[Interesting Times]

The FR Network joined with the Leadership Institute to have Activism 101 presented at our first annual convention last fall in Las Vegas, and it was a great success. The emphasis is on techniques and methods that work. I recommend this training to any conservative who intends to become a more effective activist.

[A Navy Vet]

See ya there.

[Rabid Dog]

Kviteseid and I are leaving Camarillo at 6:30 am and have room for three more people. Please feel free to hitch a ride! Should be a great seminar!!!

GREAT seminar yesterday!
THANK YOU to all who attended!!!

FReeper/videographer daviddennis will soon be posting an after-action thread on Free Republic, where we can thoroughly document what the Leadership Institute taught us yesterday, but I have just posted a DIFFERENT thread in which we can begin to IMPLEMENT our newly-acquired skills:

Memorial Day 2003 = "Mother of All B...?" - creative FReeper help needed, please!
It is NOT (yet) too late! THIS SATURDAY (4/26) in L.A. - "Activism 101" seminar [walk-ins allowed] ^ | April 27, 2003 | RonDog, Ted Hayes and the California FReepers
Posted on 04/27/2003 7:48 AM PDT by RonDog

One of the results of our "Activism 101" seminar (sponsored by the newly reinvigorated Los Angeles Chapter of the Free Republic Network, and taught by instructors from the well-respected Leadership Institute) was our decison to adopt as a "class project" a Memorial Day rally - to immediately implement the activism skills which have have just learned.

(To follow is a ROUGH DRAFT of the proposed rally.)

We need YOUR help to define and sharpen our message, starting with the NAME of this event, which Ted has suggested should incorporate "M.O.A.B." = the "Mother Of All Bombs."

While I greatly respect Ted's political instincts, and I truly believe that we can use this upcoming holiday to expand our message beyond "Support Our Troops" to some sort of "Welcome Home and THANK YOU!" - the "M.O.A.B." concept needs some work, IMHO.

I understand the reference to the bunker-busting "Mother Of All Bombs" which was a major part of the VERY successful "shock and awe" tactics which helped us win the war with minimal civilian and Coalition casualties, and I appreciate Ted's blending THAT image with the definition of a successful CELEBRATION as being "the bomb" - but I am not certain that the average American to which we are addressing our message will make that connection, at least initially.

What say YOU, FReepers from across the USA?

"Mother Of All BARBEQUES" has a nice "family picnic in the park" sound to it, but it perhaps does not carry sufficient gravtitas.

And "Mother Of All 'Welcome Home Troops' Rallies" is a little wordy...

Please post YOUR ideas here.

THANK YOU!

Still processing, processing, processing.......lots of good information presented yesterday!!! Took comfort in the fact that we have been doing a lot of stuff the right way but was impressed with how much more we could be doing and how more effective we could become. Very good course - every freeper and lurker should consider taking the seminar offered - information can be applied in all aspects of life.


HighRoad - excellent work in Santa Rosa! You two are phenomenal. I never did get your freeper business card - very professional looking and I want to get an exact duplicate for me! can you provide the link to the outfit you worked with?
