Just set your location in your profile and you will be up on all the local stuff, plus you will see a list of every other freeper that has that location set. Lots of local stuff doesn't make it onto the main board, at least not in as timely a manner.
I look forward to freeping the next one with both of you :)
I'm in Tucson, so it's a bit harder to come to Phoenix for something like that. So far, there hasn't been much of that activity down here.
By the way, its good to see you out there supporting the good people.
MISSION: Infiltrate, locate, disrupt, demoralize.
Here's some sickening traitors that need FReepin' on a weekly basis:
We stand in silent vigil each Wednesday at Patriot's Park (Washington and Central) from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. Please join us in our call for peace and to remember those lost to terrorism and violence.
We need women who are willing to make a commitment to be present on a rotating basis as a part of a team. Specifically, we need sixteen women who are willing to commit to stand as a part of a four-women team once per month -- three women will stand silently in black veils and one women will distribute fliers to passersby explaining the intent of the vigil.
Others are encouraged, as they are able, to join the basic team in the vigil. PLEASE WEAR BLACK. But, if you can't wear black, come anyway. Your presence is more important than your apparel.
For more information or to join one of the vigil teams, contact Mary Jane 602 277 2256.
Background
Women in Black is an international peace network. Women in Black is not an organization, but a means of mobilization and a formula for action. Women in Black vigils were started in 1988 and are now found in the United States, Israel, England, Italy, Spain, Azerbaijan and in Yugoslavia. For more information, visit the Women in Black web site.
Mission
The Women in Black stand in silent vigil to protest war, rape as a tool of war, ethnic cleansing and human rights abuses all over the world. We are silent because mere words cannot express the tragedy that wars and hatred bring. We refuse to add to the cacophony of empty statements that are spoken with the best intentions yet may be erased or go unheard under a passing ambulance or the wound of a bomb exploding nearby.
Our silence is visible. We invite women to stand with us, reflect about themselves and women who have been raped, tortured or killed in concentration camps, women who have disappeared, whose loved ones have disappeared or have been killed, whose homes have been demolished. We wear black as a symbol to mourn for all victims of war, to mourn the destruction of people, nature and the fabric of life.

Not sure what you mean. But it is true, we are not a violent nation. We are patient. Long-suffering. But when our nation is attacked, and innocent Americans murdered by the thousands in cold blood, then we are forced to unleash violence. It is not the first time America has been forced to resort to violence - Pearl Harbor is an example.
Freedom was birthed in violence. The greatest beacon for freedom the world has ever known, the greatest provider of humanitarian aid worldwide - the United Sates of America - was birthed in violence and the shedding of blood. These so-called "peace" demonstrators hate America. They are cowards, for the most part, and they synpathize with the terrorists. They are enemies of freedom.
By your FReeper name and comment, I surmise that perhaps you are of the opinion that violence is somehow "un-Christian." Jesus declared: "From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force." Matt. 11:12

If anyone trusts me with an email address, I will send the pictures to you.
