“How about using GoToMeeting.com or something like that. It might help with Troll control.”
<<<Might use Evite for regional meetings too. Meetings are great idea. I’m located in Socialist Republic of IL :(
“Mate, this bird wouldn’t ‘voom’ if you ran four million volts [votes] through it.”
The four biggest states (the three you mentioned, plus Texas) are all good ideas, but we have to keep in mind that a 50 state strategy has caught on in the Demwit Party, beginning with Howard Dean’s in 2006. And that was after Dean put his foot in his mouth with his “forget the South” crap.
Primarily, we need to work on fellow FReepers. We’re not going to get a walk-on-water candidate in every race (or *any* race), but we can hold the feet of our own to the fire — whereas we have ZERO influence over the socialists. In the 1990s, specifically after the Contract with America victory in 1994, a smallish number of defections took place, lifelong Demwits switched to the Pubbies.
As we all know, after the 2000 election, Pubbie control of both houses fell apart when Jeffords of VT left the GOP and became independent, turning a 50-50 tie (with VP Cheney as the Pubbie tiebreaker) into a 50-49-1 split and Demwit control of the Senate. And in 2006, Joe Lieberman lost the primary to Lamont, left the Demwits, ran as an independent, and whipped Lamont’s sorry MoveOn/DU ass right out of town. Stating that he’d caucus with the Demwits, Lieberman continued to support the WOT (practically his only conservative position on any issue), and gave a rousing speech to the 2008 Pubbie convention. I think by that time Obama cornered him on the Senate floor to bully and threaten him.
How about Wasilla, Alaska. LOL Just kiddin’.
A notice of this thread and the one that Jim posted about a Free Republic PAC have been posted on the Nevada Free Republic Board.
If people from Nevada will discuss starting a State Chapter and regional chapters there, you should be able to get something going in your state.
There are 221 people signed up here at Free Republic from the state of Nevada.
I know quite a few of them are active on FR.
Check out this thread by Jim Robinson about a Free Republic PAC

I think it is time for each state to start a state Free Republic Chapter.
And regional chapters also.
California thread:
You need a meeting in the Mid-Atlantic region. If you want to do it in Pittsburgh (a lot cheaper than New York) I’m here to help.
Do you know we have our own FR state forum to post information, announcements, freeps and get-togethers?
Do you know how to access the Florida state FR forum?
Periodically I post info on our three chapters on the Florida forum. Many freepers are unaware there are Florida chapters or that there is a forum for our use. Many are aware but they don't know how to access the forum.
I'm hoping to post rudimentary chapter info on the state forum together with names of our three chapter leaders by the end of the week.
In the meantime, for instructions how to access the FR Florida state board, freepmail me at "MinuteGal".
Egrets Up!

Did you know you can fly the State Flag from your state on your Free Republic home page?
Then you can to to that page to discuss ideas and plans with others from your state.
Texas call to action ping... Meek1!!
That’s a good idea, but then, I rarely visit mine (Michigan), despite the excellent stream of posts there.
Accountability for Porkulus votes?

Well, I am in Southern California. Sounds like a good idea having a regional meeting.
*I am in Southern California. Sounds like a good idea having a regional meeting.*
Agree. IF you travel from San Diego to the State Cap. it is over 1,000 miles round trip. That is a non starter.
Also San Diego has a huge number of FReepers.
I think here are enough here in Riverside San Bernardino County area for a group, but we all might like to take a trip to Fresno sometime.
Well, it’s a good place to network.
There is a lot of work to do to bring our country back under the Constitution so it can function as the Constitutional Republic that it was intended to be.
I am in Los Angeles county (Sherman Oaks). San Diego is a fairly good drive. Mind you, it is better than going to Sacramento, but it is still 2 plus hours in a car.
Riverside, SB sounds easier for me than San Diego. It is hard to believe there aren’t many FReepers in Los Angeles County.
Dr. Zoo posted a notice about Jim's idea for a Free Republic PAC on the Florida State Board.
A Flordia Freeper posted a notice about this thread.
Ping to the D.C. Chapter list
Time to get things moving in your area.
I would definitely be interested in getting more involved in the Puget Sound (Seattle, Tacoma) group. With the kids, I don’t know if I could make a (North) CA meet-up, although I would LOVE to.
