Building Local Relationships

We have gotten tons of great feedback since our NationBuilder launch, and I am extremely excited by the growth. We are relying on you to help us keep this momentum going by joining local communities that strengthen and grow this network. 

It should be no surprise that we want to minimize heirarchy: as much as possible, local Roostrikers groups should work to make this issue their own. Not everything the locals say will we [rootstrikers.org] like. Not everything we [rootstrikers.org] will locals like. That's the nature of the 21st Century... And of course, all of our [rootstrikers.org] content will be CC-BY licensed, meaning you can take it and use it for free, always. 

But there will need to be some understandings, and we're discussing them here. Please join the conversation if you've got an interest.

I’ve had good experiences at the San Francisco meetups. It;s nice to have cross-fertilization of ideas on how to make ending congress’ dependence corruption THE issue in SF, CA, and USA.

I Love you folks, and want to help…I have some good experience: I built and launched a political party in 1998 which garnered over 2 million members worldwide…until I got a wig-up-my uh…and went off to Saigon to build guitars. You folks are so spot-on, yet you could use some heartfelt professional help from folks who have tread this ground before; before The Global Party, I worked for 21 years in The White House Press Corps. The companies…total shameful corpratocracies…corportocracys?! …always keep humble and humerous. The writers on the front lines at Maison Blanche? Totally with your vision are 52%…so I offer my hand to help. Finding me is easy. Chard
OH! The four points are bold and really the nut-to-crack – I would leave alone for the initial debut the fourth: we accept 3’s…and religon’s a nut so hard – a cat cannot scratch it. Plus, it’s not going to save the world, whereas the first 3 will. Great work! moi
