Well, I guess we could fill the activism topic up with endless threads regarding every pending bill that comes down the pike (99.9% of which I'm sure should be vigorously opposed), but then we'd probably end up drowning out all other threads related to our actual activism events and projects that are currently being planned/promoted, etc, and for which the activism topic was originally intended.

It doesn't happen that often Jim, and seldom with regard to a bill operating on such a scale. Heck, this Conservancy is bigger than a half dozen States put together! It effects on acreage and populations outside the Conservancy are far bigger than that. Further, there aren't so many FReeps or activism threads that such a post would displace much of anything, at least I don't see them that often. It certainly isn't like the regular "Freep the Creep" events when Clinton was in office. If we were so lucky as to have it be a problem, I'm sure you creative programmers will figure out something.

As to the property rights chapter idea, when it comes to activism of that nature it usually involves making a long trip to an often remote location. Such things end up being regional by default with Jarbridge and Klamath being rare exceptions. I would think it a better use of resources to put more focus into the Sacramento chapter, simply because it's in the State capitol where the influence and visibility might do the most good. That would mean giving issues that could lead to activities in that city more visibility? Besides, maybe it's time to give Arnold a little nudge once in a while. He might even think it amusing.
