I can certainly do the writing. I'm also looking at the bigger picture as well though. I'd like to see us get a meeting of the minds, all FReepers in the state, to have a meeting and get some serious organization going... Would certainly appreciate suggestions.

Meetings start with actually meeting.

Redwing, you are the Chapter head. I defer to you: Would you be so kind as to call a focused meeting of the chapter related to fighting gun control and to furthering my ultimate goal -- an Illinois CCW?

How true!

Recent, well-publized, meetings of the Chicagoland Chapter have been attended by as many as four FReepers.

If we are going to get anywhere, we need to walk the walk. Redwing9 is trying hard but can't do it alone.

When the Chicagoland Chapter meets, we do not talk about one issue solely. One issue may garner most of the discussion, but we do include other items on the agenda.

If I were to call a meeting of the chapter, it would be for the chapter. Neither you, nor SpyderTim are chapter members and would not be included in the scheduling. If either of you two wish to sign up to the chapter, I would gladly accept both of you as members. Go to the Free Republic Network and sign up.

Until then, if you want a meeting on IL CCW or any other gun issues, you're welcome to call for and schedule a meeting using the forum.

I didn't write this with stern intentions, but I just want to be straightforward and honest
