Easily remedied by the original creator of the group. All they need to do is do the upgrade.

Looks like FB is trying to emulate the Dixie Chicks. What is it about liberals that make them think they can insult and alienate half of their clientele?

The best way around this problem is multiple small local groups (20-100 members) that network with a larger state group. The larger state group is comprised of the leaders of the small groups. We are kind of like sleeper cells with a small footprint. Having a big group with a big leader is a distraction and a target.
We do something like this in WI.

It is the first one in #28. The one with a little over a thousand members. There are several other small ones too.

US Gov. Software Creates 'Fake People' on Social Networks to Promote Propaganda

The US government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage "fake people" on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues. The contract calls for the development of "Persona Management Software" which would help the user create and manage a variety of distinct fake profiles online. The job listing was discussed in recently leaked emails from the private security firm HBGary after an attack by internet activist last week.

You may have missed this point - Facebook is determining who gets to upgrade and who doesn't. If Facebook decides not to allow a group to upgrade, they can't.

Wealth Website Redistribution?

I am actually surprised some conservative internet geek (like the opposite of Zuckerberg) hasn't come up with a different kind of FaceBook for conservatives. Oh wait...here's one: www.freedomtorch.com
