| 1. There should have been a massive internet integration with this forum |
|
Like a huge town hall thing. Your post is the first I've heard about it.
Make it a huge internet thing next time. Get people intereseted. Promote it. We need to talk about the state of freedom in our country and where we are and where we're heading. We all need to talk part in that conversation. This would have been a great opportunity to involve millions.
I hope it gets some media anyway...
Freedom should be expanding, not contracting....
