Unfortunately, I see the same mistakes made over and over. My suggestion for future FReeps of this sort, all the chapter leaders who will take part should get together in at least one conference for a couple hours and get everyone on the same page. Compare notes, come up with talking points and designate the media reps.
The Network has a private room on Paltalk expressly for this purpose. To be honest, it all came up pretty quick, but excuses aside, I am disappointed that the FR Network wasn't able to jump in and help the chapters with planning and organization. Let's not make that mistake again.
While the debate between the two sides was closely monitored by the San Francisco Police Department, officers report that there have been no problems and no arrests so far.

Most of the people that join us are young and articulate, but they are not FReepers. I don't mean to demean Mass FReepers, but Boston is a sucky place to navigate unless you know it well.
I have engraved in my mind every FReeper that has helped us, but I have also remembered all of the Boston Patriots that stood with us at our various FReeps. It is a good feeling to walk down the street and have a person say you were the guys at "Israel Day" or meet one of the homeless Vets that supported us.
It is not that people don't have the fire, it is because people have lives to live and kids to raise.
