“Sounds great! Maybe we’ll have ourselves a FReep on Friday afternoon to kick off the convention!” ~ Roos_Girl

I heard back from Lisa this morning; I’m copying you on what she wrote me and my response to her below. She needs all the help and advice she can get so I hope many of you - and especially Roos_Girl - will contact her directly at her email below. I invited her to register to post on FR, so I hope she will (she already said she reads FR everyday. :).

Hi [Matchett-PI],
I actually check out Free Republic daily for news! I need all the help I can get with this. Are you in Orlando area?
It is so good to hear from other Americans who feel the same way I do. We have received about 100 emails from people who got the information from Bud Hedinger. People are writing to me with ideas, services, contacts, etc. I am not affiliated with any organization, just an ordinary citizen who is terrified of the direction the current administration is taking our country in. I believe in our constitution, good old American values and traditions and self responsibility. My father is going down to Orlando town hall today to see about the protest being held at Lake Eola, downtown Orlando. If anyone has any other ideas of where we can hold the protest, please let me know and put Venues in the subject line of your email so I can try and keep things organized! I work full time, so I am going to need as much help as I can get! Please bear with me, I will be in touch soon with updates!

Thank you all!
Lisa

Great to hear from you! Wow! You check out FR daily? That’s fantastic! Yes, I’m in the Zellwood area - just a little north of Orlando. I’m the Central Florida Chapter leader of the Free Republic Network and FR activists have been involved with political stuff here, and all over the US since 1998. (I have war stories like you wouldn’t believe :) There are quite a few “FReepers” in Florida, and some pretty active ones right here in Orlando and environs.

For instance, FReeper “Roos_Girl” (Marci) works in downtown Orlando right across from Lake Eola (or at least that’s where she was working the time we held our “Swift-Boat Veterans for Truth” FReep against Kerry at Lake Eola).

Roos_Girl is the one who started the “call to action” thread I linked you to in my email. I suggest that you work with her to co-ordinate a protest (I am too distracted by dental appointments, etc. at the current time - I broke a tooth).

I will have Marci (Roos_Girl) contact you so that you two can deal directly with each other rather than through me. I will help as much as I can as a backup.

You may want to register to post on FR, if you haven’t yet, as it gives you one more tool of communication. You will be able to send private “FReepmail” to posters in addition to participating with them on the various threads. At the bottom of my posts to Roos_Girl and hers to me that I’m copying you on below, you will see examples of the options you have after you sign up to post. The option that says, “Private Reply”, is the one where you can send the poster a private “Freepmail”.

Below is the copy of what I wrote to Roos_girl (and some other FReepers) yesterday about you, and her reply back to me. I hope you two can get together on this!

To: Roos_Girl; MinuteGal; mcmuffin; gonzo; Bob Ireland; sheikdetailfeather..

A woman by the name of Lisa Feroli emailed the Bud Hedinger radio show (on http://www.540WFLA.com) telling him that she wondered if anyone, other than her, in the Orlando area would be interested in putting together a protest against Obama and his mortgage bail outs for irresponsible people.

He gave us her email over the air and posted it on his website. I contacted her a few minutes ago and asked her if she was interested in joining us FReepers and maybe attending our regional convention. I sent her a link to this thread and gave her my email address if she wanted to contact me. I’m sure she will get a lot of response today.

Sounds great! Maybe we’ll have ourselves a FReep on Friday afternoon to kick off the convention!
