Can I use it to start a new chapter?
Can someone tell me where to go?

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you Bob. In case some of the FReepers don't know, we had planned on having three non-profit entities, Free Republic Institute for education and research, Free Republic Network for activism and Free Republic Forum, which would've continued to operate pretty much as it is.

We have decided to put the plans for the Free Republic Institute on the back burner and have dropped all plans of converting Free Republic Forum to a 501C non-profit. But we are moving ahead as rapidly as we can with the Free Republic Network.

The Network is an entity where we are hoping to organize our chapter activism efforts. It is a stand alone operation and is not owned or operated by Free Republic, LLC. I am 100% behind this effort, but feel that I should not currently be involved as an owner, director, officer or even part of management at this time. I am a chapter member.

I am hoping that this effort will help us build chapters and bring in more members to help with our various causes. It may be that not all existing chapters or chapter members want to join FRN, and that's ok. No FReeper will be required to become a member.

Free Republic forum will continue on as a "loosely organized" grass roots movement just as we have for the last five years. But I believe some of the things we (or at least I) want to accomplish will need a bit more formal of an organizational structure. For example, building committees in every state to repeal the income tax. I believe that the FRN will eventually have the infrastructure in place to support this kind of an effort, whereas a discussion forum like Free Republic will not.

As I say, I am behind this effort one hundred percent. I'm hoping that we can do great things through the Free Republic Network.

Many thanks for getting this off the ground.

Regards,

Jim Robinson

Go to freerepublic.net and check too se if a chapter exists in your area. If not, fill out the application. This will go to Diotima who is the Network/Chapter Liaison and Nick Danger who is the site admin, they will assist you!

[diotima]

That would be me. We have 45 chapters, where do you want to start one? We might already be in your neighborhood.....

[Bob J]

Thank you Jim for making all this possible!
