“As a space worker, I’m thrilled that he’s enthusiastic about space. But I don’t agree with his plan to disband the NASA structure and give it all to private companies.”

Exactly. And Gingrich knows that private companies will never be able to compete with NASA. They just don’t have the monetary resources. The wealthiest corporation could never send people to Mars or even the Moon. They couldn’t even send un-manned probes to the planets. They could put up some satellites, but thats about it. It’s bad enough obama has ended our manned space program, but I fear NASA would be done away with completely under Gingrich. Then the US would have no space program whatsoever. Russia and China would love that.

Thanks for the ping and the first hand info. Regarding not finding people, Heck, I couldn’t even find my own brother on 9.12 and other events due to the large crowds. WooHoo! This is great news. It seems that the momentum for Newt is really picking up now. Yes!

[Red Steel]

Cool. Great report. :-)

Thanks Kristinn
Your after event reports are always so positive.

Forgot you were in Florida.

Did you see this?

We're trying to get the information out to as many people as possible, but particularly to the voter in Florida before the primary.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Here's 3D-Joy with her FR sign...

That is a great story. You meeting other Frrepers got me thinking that there should be a more coordinated effort. Nothing complex, just meet up close to an event either before or after. That could be done with a posting on here.

Additionally, sometimes our lives are so busy or planned that we don’t even know an event is occurring. I didn’t know that Newt would be on C-SPAN today, until I saw it on here. I made it in the nick of time to see Newt instead of watching The Five. When possible, I try to watch the news/political programs with my children. My elder daughter (17 years old) was most impressed with Newt today. She signed up last week to work his campaign here in PA. Too bad she won’t be 18 until two weeks after the general election.

Someone said the other evening to go to Newt.com for information. Hope that helps.
