Wow, what a coincidence, I just finished reading that book 2 weeks ago. Got it from Amazon.
She did a great job, and it was very well researched. I can’t wait to see her current data, and wish I could attend but just can’t afford the trip from Texas. If she ever speaks here near Dallas, I’ll find a way to attend!
If all goes as planned, my custom RV will be finished up by then and I’ll have my podcasting studio wrapped up by then as well. Count me in for this event. Unfortunately, I will not be able to bring anyone else with me.
This is fantastic! Thank you!!
Any chance there will be video? Not a chance in hell I’d feel safe at an event like this.

We have only “ONE” real challenge given our numbers. That is to convince EVERYONE on the registry and their family members that they are no longer civilians, but soldiers. Accomplishing this one goal in awakening our ranks to that simple truth will go (by far) to ending the existence of the registry as it stands. This should be our most urgent priority before all others. After accomplishing that primary goal all we need is to Organize and Mobilize. No power will match our force for change.
Exactly the kinds of things we need to pull ourselves together–thank you Janice, Chance and all the regulars here on this wenbsite for getting us to become larger and stronger. This will be my first event, and I cant help but to think we just went from fringe to mainstream–it is now acceptable for us to face the public and fight back
