The 3rd meeting of the Houston Area Texans (H.A.T.)FreeRepublic Chapter occurred Saturday, February 16 at the Mucky Duck, located at 2425 Norfolk Street in Houston, TX.
Twelve FReepers attended the meeting. The meeting began with the pledge of allegiance for both the U.S. flag and the state of Texas flag. The pledges were moving enough that it has been decided to recite both pledges at all future chapter meetings.
One change in our line-up of officers, even though they are still officially "temporary". Flyer is the new e-mail administrator, replacing Humidston. We also have a new "Sergeant-at-Arms" and his FReepers name is Humblegunner.
The meeting featured several interesting reports on recent Freeper activity. Dix gave good reports regarding the final mayoral inauguration of L.P. Brown, observations on the Enron rally hosted by Rev. Je$$e Jack$on, and a by-chance encounter with $heila Jack$on-Lee at a local establishment. PetroniDE completed the FReep reports with observations regarding his experience as an election judge in recent municipal elections held in Houston.
In the near-term, there are several areas where FReepers can get involved. Those that were discussed at length are summarized below.
- Primary day in Texas is Tuesday, 12 March. The new voter registration certificate is "Longhorn Orange" (sorry Aggies, I call 'em as I see 'em). Know your candidates, know your issues, and vote. Bushdude2000 and PetroniDE plan on serving as election judges; contact Bushdude2000 regarding being an election judge if interested.
- Madeline Albright (remember her?) plans on making an appearance in Houston in the near future; GOPCapitalist will provide info as the date nears.
- Preliminary discussions regarding a fund raiser for the widow of Chief Negotiator.
Next H.A.T. FreeRepublic chapter meeting is scheduled for Saturday, 16 March 2002 at 3:00 PM. Location will again be The Mucky Duck, 2425 Norfolk St, Houston, TX.

BUMMER!!!!
I had this problem, too, because I was already a member of the 2A Task Force. Look in the drop down menu and see if you can go to the HAT Chapter from there.
