BTW - Hillary’s campaign PAC, “Priorities USA” is raking in money by the millions. It’s rolling so hard that democrats running for senate are already complaining that their donors aren’t coming forth.

I’m battling the flu and went horizontal after pinging the list. What did you take away from the tele-townhall? Does our movement have a chance?

The presenters were very knowledgeable and very confident.
They were clear to stat the things that we know to be true
and to differentiate them from the things that we just don’t know yet.

One thing that was clearly explained was that the various states could
and probably would send varying numbers of delegates to the convention,
but for voting purposes within the convention, it would be one state, one vote.

It will take more grass roots interest and involvement to build momentum.

Sorry to hear of your illness, I have been battling “enraged sinuses”, myself.
Did it get cold on the cape?

Well, the tyranny tightens every day. It doesn't take a Jefferson to see it. The ground is fertile for growth of our movement. I think the dino media will begin its assault this coming June, after the next state assembly in Indianapolis. We should look forward to it, lets take them on in open debate. THAT is when freepers must swamp every form of media.

Now, if only Ted Cruz would openly join the movement, tell the world the senate was corrupted by the 17th, that its repeal is an absolute prerequisite to restoration of freedom.

Yep, we've had several nights well below freezing. Sometimes we go an entire winter without a freeze at all.

Are you in a FL COS leadership position?

The presenters said that the webcast from last night would be available sometime today.
Not sure if that was in the form of a replay, podcast, or a transcript.

That area you are in...I remember a couple of the rare cold snaps.
The math behind the design loads for home heating typically had not
taken such events into account, and when they came, home units
would run full blast continuously and just not be able to keep up.

Later, I lived a few years in far south Fla and many of the
homes there had no provision whatsoever for heating.
When the rare event did come, there was nothing to be done
to try to heat your home, because there was no furnace at all.

no, but I have submitted my name. It appears that the state leadership positions are already filled.
