  • Blocked on A Friend Request

    Blocked.

    OK, I can think of a lot of reasons someone may block someone. But, as of late, most of you know my time blogging has been really limited. I post a blog here and there, mostly video clips with a short commentary at best. I have only visited a few of my friends sites in the past six months. It is a time and life thing.

    So today I go through and eliminate the spam in my messages and I check friend requests. I am actually blocked already from someone who requested to be my friend.

    Well, another first for me. Get invited and get blocked without even knowing who the heck they are. Sweet.

  • New Name On The Horizon

     Since the beginning TURN has dotted the i's and crossed the t's.

    We have believed in leading by example from the start. We incorporated the day after our first meeting. Why? We intended to impact public policy and get into the fray. 

    One of the main reasons for TURN coming into existence, was the insistence that the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed. We thought it was hypocritical to hold our elected officials to account and not be doing everything according to the law when it came to how we ran our group(s).

    Name Change

    TURN will remain to be the name of our educational nonprofit corporation that organizes and sponsor group meetings. It is our group names that will be changing. Two of the groups associated with us have been known as the Punxsutawney Campaign for Liberty and the Du Bois Campaign for Liberty. 

    The Campaign for Liberty has an excellent grass roots activist program that we encourage all people to utilize. I am a local coordinator for the Campaign for Liberty.

    The reasons are three fold :

    1. It is being rumored that Ron Paul may be running for President in 2012. If so, the Campaign for Liberty is a arm of the Dr. Paul campaign. We do not tell people who they should vote for; we outline constitutional principles.
    2. We brought in three non-endorsed candidates during the primary and in the Lt. Governors race helped defeat the party endorsed candidate.  No one from the Campaign for Liberty attended any of our events or showed up to help work the polls or get out the vote drive.
    3. People don't know what the Campaign for Liberty is.

    We will be filing either one or two names with the Department of State within the next month. Why the rush? First, we are proactive. Second, we need to do it before we order more In Our County cards.

    We will file a press release when we institute the name change. TURN will remain to be the underlying educational nonprofit behind these organizations as a resource.

    TURN was also approved by Pay Pal as able to receive donations through their organization, now that our nonprofit status has been verified. It pays to be legitimate and on paper.
