I’m from Westchester, NY and would be willing to come and lend a helping hand- or voice as it may be....keep me on your ping list about this....
Excellent idea!
Awesome Idea!!!!! This could catch on!
Sounds like a good idea, but I would aim the concept toward including US citizens that have immigrated from any of the former Soviet Block countries. We have several friends from the Czech Republic, some of which who escaped from there, that have told us that what they see happening with this administration is very similar to what they saw happening in their country. Needless to say, they are not happy with Obama and the direction this country is going in.
Fantastic idea! FReepers are brilliant thinkers. Wish I was close enough to help.
It would be VERY POWERFUL to have a well spoken person from the former USSR speak at the 9-12 Rally in DC!! Glenn Beck is giving the rally live coverage on Fox. Just a thought.
Keep me posted, please.
There are 2 local ladies here who survived Nazi Germany. They are equally horrified to see what is happening to the USA. Perhaps I can work with some of the local groups to have them speak at a rally. I’d like to know what your experiences are, etc.
I’d prefer private emails.
This is pretty much universal from those that come from (former) communist countries. They can’t stand the Democrats and they always say, “What they are doing is why we left to come here!!”
Did they have it at the Russian Tea Room?
wheres the weiners next town hall? i should be able to attend
It is an interesting idea. You know that plant girl asking Obama a question just triggered in me this rage, it 100% resembled the young pioneers crap we used to have back in the old country. I almost smashed my TV. How dumb can people be?
When I read the title of the thread I remember when USSR fell, I lived in Kyiv then and student there staged a hunger strike. I was about 13 then and going there talking to the people profoundly changed me.. also reading Archipelag Gulag around the same age. I live in Canada so not sure I can help much, but is a good idea I am sure there are more people like those guys and me who would be happy to help.
One issue you will have that few of us can talk calmly about it. I can debate people of any kind, but actually speaking about it in public would more resemble a call to hang all commies off the lamposts rather then a good account of events.
