What I’m hearing people say is that they want FR to get back into focused political action. Perhaps we don’t need a PAC to do that. I don’t know.

Back in the early days, FR was quite active in grass-roots activities such as counter-protesting liberal events (anti-war protests, illegal immigration rallies, Cindy Sheehan circuses, even the Oscars, etc.), staging major rallies during the 2000 election fiasco and other methods of ensuring that conservative voices were heard. That has fallen off drastically over the past few years.

What is our goal? We want to target RINOs. How are we going to do that? With money? By educating the public through targeted information about specific RINOs?

Those are excellent questions and we do need to define our goals and how we want to achieve them. (I'll think on that some more...)

As far as fundraising goes, I've never done that, but there are well-connected people who do this sort of thing for a living. I wonder if FR has any such people among our ranks?

Here’s an idea I had:

Good idea for the next thread:

Folks list how they can help, what they can do, and I’ll add it next to their name on the list.

Then, given that, when something gets decided we can ping the people with the appropriate skills / willingness to address it.

This is how I assigned work teams back when I worked at Atlas, close enough.
Worked pretty well.

Those were some great days and times for conservatives to come together and enjoy doing something important and worthwhile.. I don't know if you were a part of these rallies/protests this far back but you and some of the other old timers around here will appreciate these shots below anyway. I have many more.

I'll work on putting up some of the many images on my server of some of these type of events that I was proud to be a part of back then in the Houston area and around the state. They span a few of those years. Remember and enjoy.
