FREE REPUBLIC ACTIVISM SEMINAR TO BE HELD IN NEW YORK CITY JUNE 5, 2004

May 1, 2004 | firebrand

[firebrand]

OK! It has finally come together.

The Tri-State Chapter of Free Republic will be hosting a Leadership Institute Activism Seminar from 9 a.m. to 3 or 4 p.m., Saturday, June 5, 2004, at

The Women's National Republican Club 3 West 51st Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, at Rockefeller Center) New York, NY

We will be in the lovely Lincoln Room, which you can view at the WNRC site. The club has rooms available for overnight stays, if anyone should decide to make a weekend of it.

Los Angeles and Friva Las Vegas have already had these seminars, and the reports are excellent. It has been said that even unrehabilitated slot-machine players have enjoyed every minute of these presentations in spite of having looked forward to the casinos for weeks.

Here is a partial list of the topics that will be covered:

The Real Nature of Politics and Elections
Developing a Strategic Message
Motivating and Recruiting Volunteers
Building Coalitions
Targeted Voter Contact

The presentations will be activist-oriented and will fit in perfectly with our goals as activists. Even if we think we have become experts in some areas, there are always new aspects to think about and the focus of a professional to sharpen our wits.

The event will be presented by Dana Stevens, Grassroots Programs Coordinator for the Leadership Institute. Dana is from Savannah and is a graduate of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. He has been involved in politics from an early age, and most recently, before joining the LI, was on the staff of Congressman Jack Kingston (now serving his sixth term as a Republican representative from Georgia's 1st District).

This is a crucial time for political endeavors, to say the least. We need every conservative to be on "active duty" and we need to be as well equipped as possible for the coming challenges.

Please take the time to sign up now on our secure link.

Seminar: Tips and Techniques of facing Crustfrau the Terrible

[Teplukin]

Is this limited to women?

[firebrand]

LOL!

[firebrand]

We'll convert them

[Jeff Chandler]

Is this limited to women?

Well, yes. I never even considered marrying anything other than a woman.

[firebrand]

No! The Women's National Republican Club just happens to have this very kewl old building where lots of events take place.

[cyborg]

LOL

[Teplukin]

Myself also. Call me an unrepentant heterosexualist, if you will ;)

[Jeff Chandler]

I always tell people I'm a heterosexual trapped in a man's body.

[StarFan]

We need every conservative to be on "active duty" and we need to be as well equipped as possible for the coming challenges.

Indeed. It's only May and I'm exhausted with the unending challenges from the other side. I heard that Kerry, anticipating a repeat of the 2000 fiasco, has attorneys on board ready to challenge the outcome.

[firebrand]

To that, I say "Attorney shmattorney."

[Rabid Dog]

I attended a similar Leadership Institute event at Burbank California and it was really an excellent seminar. So if you are an area freeper - I recommend it highly!!!

[sockmonkey]

Excellent!
Bump!

[firebrand]

Connecticut freepers, come on down and join us if you can!

[firebrand]

Jersey freepers, I hope you will consider coming to this. Should be a good one.

[fatima]

I will go if JR is going.

[jimfree]

I'd absolutely love to attend. However, later that afternoon in Florida my granddaughter Sarah participates in her first dance recital. I'm on the Space Coast then. See you later for sure.

[GOPJ]

Much happiness to you and yours.

[diotima]

Great work!

Ping....

[Chad Fairbanks]

Bump!

[Libertina]

Tri-State Chapter of Free Republic BUMP!
Great work, you guys! Way to organize :)

[Bob J]

This seminar, designed specifically for FReepers and FR Chapters, has been held twice, in Las Vegas (at the FRiva Conference) and in Los Angeles. Both events got rave reviews as it is an excellent seminar and a good primer on activism. It doesn't necessarily tell you how to conduct activism (FReepers wrote the book on that anyway) but trains you how to approach it...message, style, networking, working with the media, etc.

The Tri City Chapter is hosting this event and has priced it at break even. The one catch is they need 30 people to meet the minimums of the Leadership Institute. So, if you can make it, please do so. You not only will learn some good stuff, but will be supporting the TC Chapter and their continued efforts in conservative activism!

ATTENTION ALL CHAPTER LEADERS! The Free Republic Network will assist you in bringing this seminar to your area!

[Bob J]

Ooops, that's Tri-STATE!

[chicagolady]

BobJ I would be willing to be a organizer to bring this training to Chicago. Could you Freepmail me and tell me what I need to do.

[firebrand]

Thank you, Libertina!

[firebrand]

Thanks, dio. And thanks for all the help with this.

[firebrand]

Holding the Leadership Institute seminars was a great idea of yours, and your help in setting this up is enormously appreciated.

[firebrand]

New York State ping list: Hope you will try to come to this.

Most of you are familiar with PayPal, but for those who aren't: It's very simple.

You just click on the link above, in the post, or type in www.paypal.com in the address line of your browser. You use your own credit card and send the $70 to nancy2003@sluggy.net. You are completely protected--that is what PayPal is for, to protect the consumer. You don't ever pay for anything that you don't receive; in turn, the merchant doesn't have to send anything to anyone whose payment has not been secured. PayPal is an Internet clearinghouse of payments and goods.

When I receive an e-mail saying that $70 has been sent from your e-mail address, I will reply to your e-mail address and confirm that receipt.

If you have any questions, freepmail me, or e-mail me at nancy2003@sluggy.net.

June 5: Graduation Day (!)

Not a good day for a seminar, obviously.

[Victoria Delsoul]

It takes me double than that, but for you mayor, I'll go to the end of the world.

So here is a bump for you.

[The Mayor]

Now that is the nicest thing I have heard in a long time!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks Mayor. You're one of the nicest freepers I know.

[The Mayor]

That hits me right in the Heart.

Thank You, you are pretty special yourself!
I'm signing off for the night, see you for coffee. : )

[Clemenza]

Would love to go, but lack the funds at this time. If I have a REAL job by then, however...

[Capt. Tom]

June 5 is a good day. It's the day I got married.

You just reminded me of mine.

Forty nine years this June 5th.
I just put a reminder on the calendar. - Tom

[firebrand]

Thanks, Victoria!!!

[firebrand]

Consider making a long-weekend vacation out of it. It's a beautiful time of year in the city.

[firebrand]

A thank-you-for-the-state-ping-lists bump.

Any chance you DC activists can come up and learn some new tricks?

[tgslTakoma]

It's moving day for me and I'm going to try and arm-twist some of our DC Chapter's manly men to help move my stuff.

You may get a rush of DC Chapter members signing up after this news.
