[Quietly]

Well, John, the emphasis on activism has shifted from national to local/state, and we're used to the state forum. (WI in my case.) So far, I'm confused on how that will continue. We need a very clear explanation of how the State forum will (if it will) continue in the kind of State semi-chat forum that it is now. I've always thought of the State forum as "Free Republic Wisconsin." Can, and how, does that continue?

Wisconsin could literally become "Free Republic Wisconsin" by adding it as an independent forum. Which is something else to think about.. Each state could have its own forum, with its own set of topics, its own latest posts, etc.
