FSP Sedition

[Dreepa]

I thought we had a secret vote to exclude Mike.

But he isn't an LP he is an ANCAP.

[Russell Kanning]

Don't give away that we have a secret forum within the forum hidden behind a wiki ...... this deep cover group is headed by el presidente ...... but it is just a front for the inner circle that pulls the strings and is headed by Joey.

Unless it goes deeper and I am in the dark about the true leaders and motives.

[Kat Kanning]

Now I'm sorry I ever got him started on the conspiracy theories   

[Russell Kanning]

.... and all of us are controlled by the free town project group

[president]

It is called "Grafton for Freedom" now.

[Russell Kanning]

Who invented that group?

[Dreepa]

Remind me not to visit Grafton then.

[Kat Kanning]

Don't visit Grafton, Dreepa.

You are in the dark. Joey is just a front man for my semi-secret society. It is so semi-secret Joey doesn't even know about it.

[Russell Kanning]

Dreepa is lying .... he has secretly moved into a mountaintop location in the grafton area.

Just because someone "works hard behind the scenes" does not make them effective.

Try doing some consulting work for someone, send them a bill for a few thousand dollars and have "I Worked Hard" as the line item and see how excited they would be paying your bill or appreciate your work for that matter. People want to see results presented to them.

FSP has to work but more importantly show that it's working. No company or organization every became succesful by doing a lot of work but not showing to their clients and supporters all the hard work they have done.

Why is the Red Cross more popular than the Salvation Army? Because the Red Cross gets in your face about what they do.

If the FSP wants to continue to get funding and support they have to go out of their way to say "Look we did this, we accomplished this, we are working on this, your donations are being spent on this and that and we plan to do this soon. Here are the things we have accomplished so far, we are making a lot of progress. Here are the problems we are having. Etc." That kind of stuff should be constantly coming out of the FSP.

I am proud to donate to Free Talk Live because I can see exactly where my money is going and I see progress (!). FTL is getting on new radio stations and they are doing more advertising, etc. The FSP needs to create a similar page to http://amp.freetalklive.com and let us vote with our donations. Setup several funds for different activities and let people donate money to whichever activity they think will bring the most recruits.

I suppose there are lots of other solutions but the most important thing is to make us see that the FSP is making progress. It's not some ambigous thing, you either increase in the number of weekly recruits, remain the same or decrease. This doesn't need to get emotional, just look at the sign up rates, the numbers, that's all the matters for the FSP.

The FTP...according to Tim CONdon.

Tim Condon, a Free Stater also involved in the Free Town Project, said the group has since changed its name to Grafton For Freedom, to avoid confusion with the Free State Project.

Shhhh...you don't want him to stop eating again, do you!?!

Yeah, he needs his strength. He's got six months' worth of catching up to do.
