Michael,

We only went up the other day, and we are working on the security issue as far as how much we can allow as viewable. Some members are concerned about their privacy as a member of the group.

So sad that it would worry some. I can understand though. Some of these people are govt employees, teachers, police…

Who knows what may be coming our way? But in the end, anyone can sign up so it seems a placebo to have it blocked from unregistered users.

Jessica – interesting concept. I’m all for grassroots activism. You might want to set your new ning website to be viewable by the public without registration required. I personally like to see what a site is all about before I give them my information.

We have taken this a step further and are holding our legislators responsible for pledging to abide by the spirit of this resolution.

Through the networking site we established (it only went up yesterday) we will be issuing alerts to breaches of trust by all elected officials, State, Federal, Local.

We will descend on Townhalls, educate our communities, and generally become a lobby of ordinary citizens. Liberty needs a special interest group, lol! Join up!

Resolutions can be quite effective. First of all, they’re far easier to get passed than a piece of legislation that has the force of law. This helps gain some attention to the issue – which allows supporters the time to educate others on the need for further action.

But, non-binding resolutions can also be quite effective. It’s not as common, but it has happened recently. In 2007, for example, Maine’s legislature started a wave of resistance to REAL ID with a non-binding resolution stating that they would not implement that legislation. Plenty of states got on board, and the federal government has had to back off….twice. It’s still pending.

In this usage, it just means that it is a message.

What good is a resolution, if it states in the body that its just a memorial??
