I'm sorry that you think I am abusing the state topics, but I must disagree with your contention. I felt that this is of interest to all states, in that I feel that FReepers in each of the states would want to organize or participate in a rally in his/her own state... if traveling to DC is not possible for them.
I thought that FR was a site for grassroots activism. If I can't put an activism thread in the topics list for all the states, doesn't that defy the purpose for FR?
If you want your state left off the 50 states ping when someone chooses topics, could you give us a hint what state you're in so we can skip you (and all the other FReepers who live) in your state?
Admin moderator... I try to follow the rules around here... did I just abuse a rule??
