FR/ProtestWarrior Alliance - What say we make it official?

Posted on 06/13/2004 2:07:23 AM PDT by FalconAZ2003

Okay, this is something I've been thinking about for a long time. Since the FReepers and PWs have a lot in common, I suggest the formation of an alliance. We PWs link to you guys, you link to us, we coordinate our operations, and so on. My thought is that we need to forge alliances with other conservative organizations, with those right-of-center, with the undecided. This is gonna be a long campaign against the ANSWERtroopers, against the leftists who hate America and seek to destroy everything that we love about her. First off, I suggest we start with the planned operation in New York City - "Liberty Rising." I believe there's been a thread posted about this previously. How about we start working on how to coordinate a rally together. The rest of us can get in touch with any conservative groups they have contact with, and we can go from there. Our numbers are steadily growing, but numbers are nothing without synchronicity, without connection, without a common purpose. What say we get this alliance started?

I didn't know that one. Sorry. Well, if we have, that's good to know. Are we planning any joint opeations any time soon?

BTW, I'm the Gilbert, AZ chapter leader for PW.

Oh, hell. I just figured that we all have the same goals and have been working arm-in-arm against the left for quite some time. It'd be only natural that we'd eventually join up.

I don't know if it'd be anything, "Official," as I'm just one of over 150,000 FReepers speaking my mind here. If you'd want to get the thoughts of the founders of this realm, you'd do good to ask Jim or the Admins.

I'm not a big fan of alliances.
Seperate groups working for the same goal can be more effective than one large conglomerate.

Once groups merge, they lose their individual voices, and take on the appearance of being part of a machine.
The groups will inherit any negative cynical perceptions people may have of the others.

Why allow the critics to attack and dismiss both FR and PW in one breath rather than two?

You bring Belly Girl to the next FReeper gathering and we will make it official.

"You bring Belly Girl to the next FReeper gathering and we will make it official."

LOL! I've tried very much to get my daughter to come to some protests with me, no luck so far. I definately feel she could be the next Belly Girl. And now she's even pierced! I've managed to extract a pledge that she'll join the College Republicans in September. Too bad she'll be on campus during the convention. She is at least one truly staunch conservative, even to my right, amazingly. However, her main object for these last few years has been....talking to her friends! But she is on our side, and will be a new voter for Bush, along with the boyfriend, and hubby. That's my three!

But only if I get a date with Belly Girl.

On behalf of the Free Republic Network and the 55 chapters it represents, I sent an email to PW asking if they wanted to partner with us (and other groups) this September 11th on our National March Against Terror. I didn't get a response.

Also, a little background. The issue of counter protesting the insane left was discussed by the Chapter leaders. Although everyone supported the concept, most were of the opinion that they didn't want to put their members (many of them older, with families, etc.) in any kind of physical danger by putting pressure on them attend counter rallies where they would be in very close proximity to extremely violent and crazy yahoos.

We also checked with an attorney who said there is a significant legal liability in crashing someone else's rally, if anything were to happen (Many juries would be starting from the premise that you were crashing an opponent's rally to provoke them, etc.).

Consequently, it was decided as a group to endorse and encourage attendance at stand alone rallies, and, while supporting the activities of groups like the PW, to leave the decision to attend counter rallies up to the individual.

Well, Alan and Kfir have been really busy lately. If you really want to coordinate with us ProtestWarriors, I think you're better of talking to chapter leaders via HQ. We've become sort of Balkanized lately.
And I don't know about "Belly Girl" - but we do have some seriously hot girls involved with us in the upcoming NYC counter-protest.

If you're interested you could just enlist via http://hq.protestwarrior.com

Ah. I understand.
Well, my thought would be that there wouldn't be any obligation to join the counter-rally. This closer communication would be mostly for the sake of those that wanted to join the counter-rallies, to keep people better informed about them, and so on.
While the rallies have never become truly violent, I understand your point.
