Sawgrass Rebellion Kickoff

Homestead Land and Water Alliance ^ | Sept. 13, 2002 | Sharon Votaw

[AAABEST]

Our FR Chapter President, Gene "seeking the Truth" Mcdonald informed me that he will be getting a table at the event for his stamps. We'll use his location as a meeting/FReeper center.

In addition to making a Sawgrass Rebellion Stamp, he's coming up with ideas about a stamp for the movement in general. Any ideas, submissions or graphics for either will be appreciated.

Receiving that call from Gene the other day made my week, as he's a major VIP on this forum and for me personally. Every time I get together with this guy we have a great time and accomplish something.

I can't believe all the talent I'm seeing, and how people are taking it upon themselves to step up to the plate and create major movement on this. Nearly every single person I've pinged to this post is doing something essential to make this a success. Writing, organizing, marketing, creating products, leading, spending money and time etc. etc.

Maybe I sound corny, but I'm truly amazed at what's going on here. God bless you all.

Gene I'll get you that 4x3 image as soon as I get some time to take a crap (haven't had time for that either). After I take my crap, I'll work on it. I'm shooting for early next week.

Most excellent news! Yes the Homestead event is scheduled for the 19th. Shall I add you to my "FReepers who are coming" ping/update list?

Thanks for the ping, AAA. Did you hear Rich King's WINK-WNOG radio show yesterday? Near the end of the show a very together female caller talked about the sawgrassrebellion.org website...that it showed an eye-opening map of Florida of the future, what will happen if the land-grabbers get their way. She was great. Rich King promised that he would visit the website, and that he thought it was an important cause. He also said that he hoped no one caused Pastor Mallory any trouble because he was a good man. (^:

[AAABEST]

Everyone has been telling me about that lady's call. She's a well known local, I suggested that someone contact her in regards to joining PRAC.

Pastor Mallory has been abused by our local mini-Tyrants for years, but he's not backing down despite their Chicago mob tactics.

My list of FReepers coming to this is getting quite large RC, when am I adding you? :) Whatever obsticle is keeping you from attending I promise I'll do everything I can to remove it, down to providing transportation.

Just wanted to let you know that Tigerbill called me last night and he is coming to Naples!

If Tigerbill is coming, that usually means that LukeFreeman may also be joing him. They are the Road Warriors from the Titusville area.

Eesh. #31 was supposed to be a private reply, now all my forum stalkers will be calling me!

Tracy is about 2 hours from Santa Cruz. Maybe he (Natural Processes)will come to Tracy (CA for you guys out of state--we are an hour west of Sacramento) and bring some books.

This thing is taking on a life of it's own. I truly believe this can change the direction of our nation if we get behind it. We can really do some education out there.

I want people to bring ziplocs of dirt labeled with where the dirt came from. We will send the bags to Florida to build a symbolic levee with dirt from all over the USA like we did water to the Klamath. Come to Tracy if you can and bring your contribution to the Sawgrass levee.

Re the book, thank you very much.

Re the dirt... Helluva nice thought and I would love to contribute but there is a problem with the idea. One should be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN not to have living Phytophthora ramorum algae (sudden oak death syndrome) or any other living pest species (including weed seed) that is exotic to the Everglades in the dirt. I don't know if microwaving it would sterilize the spores but you really don't want to be blamed for bringing that problem to Florida, much less the Everglades. If a problem ever developed (and you can be sure that they will find one and if they don't plant one), it would be used against you FOREVER.

Frankly, I don't think it's a responsible idea. Could you please tell me who is coordinating it and I will tell them the same thing.

Re Tracy, I plan to be there.

[Carry_Okie]

Please see the above post.

The plan to build a levee near the Everglades out of dirt from around the nation risks becoming a glaring ecological incident held against property rights groups. There is a high likelihood that the caravan will be stopped at a border crossing for importing pathogens and there may even be criminal penalties for leaving quarantined areas.

It is absolutely certain that such an incident would be used to demonstrate the need for regulatory policing and protecting inviolate areas against the public.

Please help stop it.

This article appears to have some good contact #s and links for the Sawgrass rebellion, if anyone is looking for some ideas for a show.

[PARKFAN]

You are right and I am asking everyone not to do this. Hate giving up such a powerful symbol of unity across the nation but maybe you guys can think of a better one.

I am sending a big hunk of cloth for signatures (paper rips and munches up) of supporters. That will help in the symbolism department.

Give me some ideas--I know there is something out there that would really give this convoy a special signature! Think hard and post your ideas. I need help here! We can change the nation with this movement if we can engage the public somehow.

[PARKFAN]

Forgot to tell you--I am the coordinato--so you told me. We could probably be blamed for anything if this thing swings the nation back towards the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and stops the loss of private land. Lord I hope this movement keeps on growing. Right now I am up to my ears in good things happening. It is a runaway freight train right now. Everything is getting better all the time. I dialed a wrong number yesterday and got another property rights person who gave me a TV contact to try! Even errors are beginning to help--perhaps the dirt idea can be replaced with a huge better symbol!

[PARKFAN]

Gotcha and already replied to above. Help me generate a huge new symbol!
