G'day,

The Sawgrass Rebellion needs help with finding a rally spot in NC or SC.

I seem to recall that a NC FReeper started a land rights thing or held a land rights rally.

Do to my advanced age, i cannot remember who it was ;-).

If anyone can help, please contact Jay Walley (Paragon Foundation) at frc@pvtnetworks.net

Good work Pod. I'm glad to see your nailing down the event you're planning and making some headway. You have lots of time to get the word out, knock 'em dead.

This upcoming event has a strange dynamic to it. It's turning average people like yourself into leaders.

In California, rallies are planned in Tracy and in Sacramento. On September 29th, a rally will be held in Tracy. The rally will gather at the Park and Ride adjacent to the West Valley Mall and Interstate Highway 205. The rally will start at roughly 2 p.m., when the convoy is scheduled to arrive from the Klammath Basin in Oregon, Congressman Richard Pombo is scheduled to address the rally at 3 p.m. Other speakers include Leo Bergeron, CEO of the California State Grange, Michael Shaw of Freedom 21, a representative of the Mountain Coalition, and others The event is being sponsored by the Homestead Land and Water Alliance of Tracy.

An auction of donated goods will be held with the proceeds donated to the Sawgrass Rebellion, the umbrella organization founded in South Florida to protect citizens property rights through legislation, litigation and public education. The local FFA chapter has been invited to provide food as a fundraiser for their Chapter.

The following day, September 30, the California State Grange has obtained a permit to hold a rally on the steps of the Capitol Building. Assemblyman Mike Briggs (Dist. 29) and Senator Thomas "Rico" Oller (Dist. 1) have facilitated in setting up the rally. Speakers include Legislators, and representatives from the California State Grange, Pacific Legal Foundation, California Farm Bureau, and People for the U.S.A. Also scheduled is Holly Swanson, the author of "Set Up and Sold Out!" We have asked that Governor Davis (or a representative from his office) be on hand to accept a symbolic bucket and shovel.

Activities are scheduled to begin on the South Steps of the Capitol building at 11:30am, and conclude about 3:00pm. Again, there will be an auction held as a fundraiser for the Sawgrass Rebellion Organization.
