The Online Community that will "Pound the Pavement" in Every Local Community
Our thoughts for this group are not really an organizing effort of yet another group for folks to join and incur responsibility, indeed that is one of our greatest fears in the new information age, overload, addiction, the theft of peoples offline lives as they become more immersed in networking and the technologies that follow them everywhere they go.
Unlike Facebook, Myspace, Linkedin and others there will not be an endless troop of new groups or causes marching across your screens. We have very definite goals here as expressed in the "Mission Statement". It may seem there are a lot of groups but if you look closely each has a definite purpose in the Network. They advocate for a social issue important to us, they advocate for candidates running for office, they advocate for some of our great leaders, they represent our individual committee units around the state, they represent Congressional District Committees, they represent Womens Clubs, they represent YR's, College, Teens and so on. Each group fills a particular niche, we try to be careful in who is setting them up and we try to not have duplication. When someone comes here we want them to be able to get the information they need very quickly, comment, socialize or network without having a universe to search through, or being bombarded with offers to join multiple groups for the same causes.
Our main purpose is to create an information resource for Virginia Republicans and do it in a way that allows them to network with each other, help each other, announce events statewide, present the Candidates and offer a place for them to share views with others and network socially online. We do not want to steal their lives away, we hope to provide the opportunity for them to find what they need quickly and get back to the grassroots efforts they are involved in, because we all know, that is where the votes are won.
Our vision for this group, is such a resource. We hope to get as many folks to join and contribute as possible. As they comment on ideas, techniques or technologies we will try to split out separate forums by area of interest. As new developments in technology for the grassroots become available we hope to share them with everybody.
For those looking for a role beyond commenting, we will be looking for some members with expertise in particular areas to moderate or be admin on the forums here, as it grows.
We want this group and website to enhance the on the ground "Grassroots" efforts in every community around the state. We wish to take little and give back a lot.
To all, our best wishes in all your endeavors, keep clicking those keys but don't forget to save time, to "pound some pavement"!!

BP Monk,
Here is how it helps us develop the grassroots: raises awareness of the wrong headed direction in which we are headed. When people understand the direction in which the Republic is being stampeded, they may become interested enough to do something about it.

This helps us develop grassroots, how?

CPAC was wonderfully uplifting and (frightening) informative, as in the issue of our missle defense. There is breaking news that the usurper has written a letter to the Russians, wherein, in exchange for their "help" with Iran, the US will abandon our missle defense shield. Coincidentally, at CPAC, I saw a film from The Heritage Foundation called "33 Minutes." This is about how long it would take a missle launched from N. Korea or Iran or thereabouts to reach the US. I want to show everyone who is interested in our country's defense, and what is at stake, this film (Heritage supports/ requests this action). What do you all think about renting out our local libraries to raise awareness of this life and death issue all around Virginia? If people are not awake yet, this should do it.

Directly from CPAC: In terms of fiscally conservative, lower taxes efforts, please check the National Taxpayers Conference 2009 to be held June 11-13 in DC, webiste www.ntu.org. Along those lines, also check out fairtax.org and noleftturnamerica.com.

A few things we in Loudoun County are doing to try and recruit people are 1) hold a Ronald Reagan Lecture series, whereby we have one speaker each month talk about an important issue of the day. 2) On March 10 we are hosting a debate among the three Attorney General candidates.
Our idea has been to hold events that will attract people which we can then use to recruit.
What else along these lines should we be doing? What ideas do all of you have?
Thank you,
Tom

Sue, we already know their practices. We need to implement the legal ones.
They have plenty of folks who worked for them under criminal charges already-the ones who made up voters, or copied phone books. Neither of these will actually help our numbers.
But the legal parts of what they did were genius. Identifying folks and registering them...and more importantly, following up with those folks to insure their votes, where otherwise they wouldn't have showed up at all.

By the way, Sue. Did you know that the Census people are hiring and paying good money. It's not ACORN, but I bet they have their people lining up for the Census work too.

If I had an ACORN nearby, wouldn't it be a good idea to apply for a job there? (infiltrate enemy territory)
