I hear you!!! Nine months ago I formed a group with five acquaintances (I really only knew one, my realtor) and it's really broadened my world.

I built us a website, we held meetings, got candidates to come to our meetings, had a Front Line Doctor come talk to us, had our Congressman come do a Q&A, started building a network of local businesses who aren't liberal. We got involved in all sorts of stuff.

The best part: we started having monthly socials at local venues! Usually 30-40 people show up and we just have a good time talking to folks on our side. For the most part, they aren't as informed as we are in here but they are learning.

I've got over a hundred who have joined the website, a handful use the forum (most had no idea what a forum was) and we seem to be growing. I'm located in Northern Alabama, not exactly a big population to pull from.

I tell you this because there may come a time when you need more than an online life and it is possible to go out there and make a community of your own. The other side has always been better organized than us but it doesn't mean we can't catch up.

In the side bar we have General Flynn's quote about local action=national impact, which is great, but for those of us who can't run for office, etc. there are still things we can do to save our way of life that are outside of politics. I highly recommend finding anons in the wild and enriching your life.

I truly appreciate every one of you glorious bastards!
