Clear over on the left coast and cant be there, least I can do.
BTW;
Exceptional job you all are doing.
Please consider the following, which has been extremely successful out here in Brea Ca.:
Get on Rush and Sean and talk about what you are doing. I an sure that Trueblackman and Kristin are know to them and would be easy to get on the show.
Get word(email) to the local chapter of the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America) they are active and turn out in large numbers (at least out here)
Email the collage republicans each local collage chapter and the young republicans they are the ones that will be active. Any other group has been a waste of time (once again out here).
Since you have the Rolling Thunder back there and they freepeed with you two weeks ago, surly you have a contact number.
You probably are doing these things if so I don’t understand how the numbers are dropping.
The numbers aren't dropping. There was a spike after the national story ran, but the numbers the past few weeks have been probably 50% higher than before that national story. However, we still only average about 30-35 attendees.
30-35. That's really pathetic, given the disgusting nature of these protests - forcing our wounded soldiers and their loved ones to have this anti-war crap shoved in their faces when they're trying to heal. And according to the last FReepathon scoreboard we have 735 registered FReepers in VA, and 417 registered in MD. You can figure at least as many lurkers from those areas. (Don't know how many in D.C., although I'm guessing not too many.)
Granted, some areas of VA and MD are quite far away, but the bulk of those numbers is centered within 90 minutes or so of Walter Reed. And we have another 659 registered folks in PA, 90 in WV and 34 in DE. Again, figure in the lurkers. And all those people have loved ones and acquaintances that could accompany them or go in their places.
Yet on a Friday evening the best we can generally do for those who gave so much is three dozen.
