Call to action: Possible Action Items for Regional FReeper Conventions

Feb 18, 2009 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

Just throwing out a handful of ideas for discussion:

• How to develop local chapters/conservative grassroots groups.

• Develop a conservative platform and a plan for recruiting, training, supporting and electing conservative candidates.

• Develop ideas for building an effective nationwide conservative grassroots network.

• How to combat the Fairness Doctrine? Install offshore servers? Private BBS? Email/Phone/Fax lists? Shortwave radio? Local/personal networking?

• Working with other conservative groups, political parties?

• Would a FReeper PAC be feasible? Practical? Effective?

• Would a FReeper 527 organization be feasible? Practical? Effective?

• How to infiltrate/influence local political organizations?

• Select and fund delegates for a national convention should our membership decide one is needed.

This is an excellent idea. I am SW Virginia and I have made contact with a number of Freepers in this area. I am planning to contact them with this idea.

As for me, a political neophyte, hope somebody will define a PAC and a 527 to let us all know what they are and what they do.

And that’s the point, is to draw in people who have never been involved in politics before.

Also, if there is a Texas ping list please add me.

Great idea. I think knowing other local FReepers would give us more leverage on the local level.

Plus, if (when) it hits the fan, we would have a support system to get thru it.

I am in Long Beach, CA.

Click on the account tab and then click on the my locale link. Everyone there should be a Texan if you set your location as Texas.

I am a Native Texan living in Virginia.

[devistate one four]

Not enough FReepers in northern Wisconsin.

[Nachum]

Good idea.

[SMARTY]

There’s always HAM radio

Please include me on your ping list for this. I’m trying to get into law school right now and maybe in time I might be able to help in useful ways.

We need this now more than ever. The Liberals in office are hoping we will become disheartened and demoralized by their full fledged assault on what our Country stands for. I'd love to see us organize the way groups such as Eagles Up. I'll pass the word.

[netmilsmom]

This FReeper would like to be added to the Texas ping list!

[SumProVita]

I VERY much like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Plus, if (when) it hits the fan, we would have a support system to get thru it.”

Excellent point! ;=)

Is anyone interested in trying to form a Western PA chapter?

[WakeUpAndVote]

We may have to go to off shore servers.

I used to listen to shortwave when I was a kid. I guess I’ll dust it off soon.

[Maine Mariner]

Anyone in the Bangor Maine Area interested?

[DTogo]

Good ideas! Also need to coordinate chapters/leaders back to Fresno HQ.

Is Kristinn going to be on FNC anytime soon, to speak about recent developments and the reaction of "outside the Beltway" Conservatives?
