As you may be aware, Russell Kanning was arrested this morning after federal agents raided his home. Dada Orwell was encouraging others to spread the word fast because they were taking him to court right away and we needed action. I thought that it would be nice to have a system in place for spreading the word on such short notice.
To this end, we have created NHFree.com Action Alerts!
Join up at http://action.nhfree.com , it's free and you can submit an action alert anytime! Once approved by moderators it will be distributed to all the group's subscribers!
Great idea! I think we should also start looking at ways to raise funds for situations like this one. I know that legal costs are usually very high but if someone does need money, even small amounts can help, if only to pay some bills (power, gas, etc).
The tricky question is, who should be the moderators? To start I'm thinking me, Kat, Russell, and Dada.
Holy shit, the feds raided Russ and Kat? For what? And what feds?

Your reply is exactly why we need an Action Alert group:
http://forum.soulawakenings.com/index.php?topic=4640.0
That should fill you in.
can we get it set up so that we can join a loop, when something like this happens, we each call the next person on the list. That way we can inform as many people as quickly as possible. Say Hollywood could call me, I could call Aries ... so on and so forth.
I joined.
I signed up with the "email" option I would reccommend this to everyone else as well

That sounds like an external project. It's a good idea. This list could compliment that sort of an idea. I'm having a hard time imagining organzing what you're talking about Caleb, so it's in your hands. Seems like a complex task.
The phone tree idea works until someone doesn't answer. The email blast will work with some people, but won't be very effective for those who don't check their email daily.
The more avenues we have to get out critical info, the better.
What I did yesterday was post as much as I could, and hope that others could spread the word. I made one phone call to Dada in hopes he could call others. From a phone call, Dada was able to contact Pat in Corcord, who contacted his wife, who contacted Jenn. Jenn and Gloria were able to come and join me, for which I was very grateful. I don't know how Denis found out, but was awfully glad to see him at the trial. I didn't get to speak to him to thank him. And then Roger and family found out from the forum.
Kat, if you like this idea, here is a signup box for use at nhfree.com : http://groups.google.com/group/NHAction/manage_promote
OK, the banner is on this forum now.

Thanks for setting this up Ian.
Hard to view all the threads on the forum. I didn't know about Russell being picked up until you pointed me to the thread, thanks.
I have updated the first post in the thread to reflect the existing status of the group and trimmed extraneous posts.

How about the front page of NHFree.com somewhere?
Well, the first Action Alert was sent out today by Kat. Unfortunately, only 19 people are on the Alerts list at http://action.nhfree.com . Please consider signing up now. It's free, and the more members, the more powerful a tool it will become.
Also, we need more people to step forward as moderators. Please PM me if you are interested in this responsibility.
I didn't even know such a list existed, Ian! BTW, I'm not in NH yet, and won't be for about a year and a half, but I'd like to keep up on things. Is this ok, or should I stick to the forums in that case?
This has been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System... :)
It worked for me. 8)
The more folks the better.

There's no reason you shouldn't be on the list. http://action.nhfree.com

The reason I joined the list is because I'm not in NH yet. I'm still out of the loop of what is happening and the list serves to keep me "in the know". Sure, I can't run to the court house or wherever yet, but I can send emails, make phone calls, and help spread the word.
Joined.
I've got my FTL email account, which is through Google - but it doesn't recognize my mail.freetalklive.com info as a Google login. Any ideas?
I think you need to create a google account in the name of your ftl account. It doesn't link on it's own.
I would like to propose shutting down the NHFree Action Alerts group. Porcupine 411 seems to be far more effective and is actually being used by activists.
I would like to see this topic unstickied and a topic inviting people to join Porcupine 411 being given sticky status, as it has evolved into a very important tool.
Your thoughts?
error said there was a limit to the number of people he could e-mail at one time.
Other than that sounds good to me.

The number of people I can e-mail at once is pretty much unlimited, at least in theory. It'll be a very long time before I hit any such limit.
The number of people I can call simultaneously is very limited, though I can call more people if some of the people are already on my network.
Can someone dig up the thread with info on porcupine 411 and link me to it? I'd like to close down the action alerts group, and send a final message promoting porcupine 411.

Is there a more descriptive page about Porcupine 411 somewhere I could point to besides just the sign-up page?

I remembered seeing that post on error's forum nhteaparty.com.
Glad to have helped.
I've been posting links to the original Porc 411 thread (http://newhampshireunderground.com/forum/index.php?topic=5248.0) all over the place. It really needs Lauren or someone to go in and change the name...
Ok, I made it sticky, too.

That's going to change in a couple of days.

I have alerted Seth to the change.
