Kris - I know you're big in the DC chapter...any advice for a fledgling rally organizer?
Nutmeg - can you ping your RI list please?
Please advise the poster.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Rhode Island ping list.
Oh well... here's another BUMP for this thread!
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Massachusetts ping list.
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
NY/NJ ping!
There was a big pro-traditional marriage rally on the CT State Capitol this past weekend, led by someone from out of state - a minister from the south or midwest, I think. Do you know any of the details? This minister may be helping people around the country arrange these rallies. (?) I have to get off the computer soon... will look into story later.
JR, do you have a permit? If those idiots H.S.'ers in SK can get one to starve on the State House Lawn on Thanksgiving, you really need to metion that. The state machine (i.e. democratic labor forces) may cause trouble.
Please, by all means, enlist the aid of our duly elected officials, I just bet Patches would love this!
As for Jack Reed, how gay does this guy need to be?
West Point, my a@@...we are being hosed by the homosexual agenda in this SMALL BUT VIRULENT STATE.
Let's look at Linc...nope. No help there for normal men and families.
Jim Langivine? Don't think so...
Your best hope is Caceiri and....people like Bazaloonie!
I'll see ya at the rally!!!!

I'll ping some people later. Good going, IOTN. Don't be nervous. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
When the Free Republic Network organized the "Rally for America" (over 200 rallies) last year, we had several pages of information on exactly what you request. The pages are down now, being transformed for the upcoming "National March Against Terror" on September 11th, but I'll check with Nick Danger to see if he can get you copies or access.
Is this worthy of the H.A. pinglist? It's a counter-measure that I'm taking. I want this event to be huge, and could use as much FReeper prayers and support as I can get.
Thankee
Why not ping the Massachusetts and Connecticut lists, since they're so close? I'll ping my Homosexual Agenda list, maybe some live close by or know people who do. I feel like jumping in my van and driving 3,000 miles to join you!!
I think a few punchy speakers would be a great idea. People who are used to public speaking and won't be scared by homo-nazis, and can make their points in a short time. I wish I could come!!! I like to speak to groups - I bet I could rile up some people. I mean, enthuse them!
Can you send the word out to all conservative churches in the state? What about pro-life groups, they're probably on the same wave length.
Homosexual Agenda Ping - A brave and outraged Freeper in RI, ItsOurTimeNow, is organizing a Defense of Marriage rally in June. Any Freepers in RI, or who know any conservatives in that state, or live in adjoining states, may want to get in touch with ItsOur, and help out.
A highly worthy cause, and I hope we see more and more of these kinds of rallies. The more colorful, loud, well-advertised and well-attended the better!
Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
Defense of Marriage bump
As for a PA system, see if one of the churches or people you contact can loan you one or can get you in touch with someone who can loan one for the cause. If you plan to be out there four hours, a few speakers would probably help. Testimonials from the crowd would be okay too (screen for disruptors, of course.)
Advice for a newbie rally organizer?
Now, all I need are people.Good plan, so far.I'm reaching out to all local churches, the media, faith-based community action groups, and of course all of the wonderful FReepers.
Next step: TALK RADIO.It would be WONDERFUL if you could get a local talk radio host to do a LIVE remote from your event.
The next best thing would be to get a local talk radio host to aggressively PROMOTE this rally on the air - preferably with an interview with someone witty, warm and ARTICULATE from our side.Could that "someone" be YOU? :o)
