4-26-12  About noon time on Thurs. a few people come into the FCTP office and sit around the table.  It's very informal - no one calls the meeting to order - we just start talking.  Not just chit chat; no gossip, and not just a grip session.  Topics might concern something we've read, something we've seen, something we're concerned about, and our efforts to learn more or take some action.  This week we talked about the investigation Peggy did regarding the past Republican Primary.  Several members have reviewed the report and now there will be a meeting with Jerry Holland regarding loopholes for possible voting fraud.  Also to be brought to his attention is that several people have complained of getting no response when they mailed in their voter registration cards.  If anyone is interested in coming along to meet with Jerry Holland just contact Peggy Hall.  

  Andy is still setting up a table for voter registration at the Ramona Flea Market on Sat. from 8-4 at building C1, and on Wed. from 8-1 on Blanding Blvd. at the Old Playtime Drive-In (not the "House of Fleas") near the concession stand.  If you're curious, stop by and hang out with him a while.   You may decide to set up a table yourself!

  A question arouse - "What's something we could do better?"  And the answer - work on communication.  For example, next Thurs. is the National Day of Prayer but we have no information on what, if anything, we are doing to acknowledge that.  On June 8th at noon there will be a Religious Freedom Rally, but we don't know where.  Perhaps at Hemming Plaza.  There is a group which prays each night at 9PM for our country, but we don't have any more details.  These are small examples, but thinking over my life, every major problem I ever had involved poor communication, lack of communication, miscommunication!

  Thinking about communication led us to the topic of e-mails (and too many e-mails).  We agreed that e-mails are important to maintain contact and rapport, but we need meetings to impart specific stratigies safely.  So, read your e-mails, and go to your meetings too!

This is a 1 hour meeting to which some people bring their lunch, and some people don't.  You don't "join", you just show up if you feel like "touching base" with likeminded people.  The topic is whatever's on our minds about the battle we're in - saving our freedom, our culture, our country.  Last week we talked about voter registration, Peggy's research into Jerry Holland's report, voter fraud, Alinski's tactics, and a few other things.  We don't just commiserate with each other.  We're making an effort, and effort increases energy.  Maybe we leave with a small task to do, a small attainable goal to keep ourselves from despair.  Taking delight in small achievements is a hallmark of survivors!
