Most internet users have access to several email addresses, not counting all the free ones like, yahoo and google. It might be better to create a fictious name and register with that one. If it gets to bad with the 'hate' type mail, drop it and create a new one. What would nice is start the name with "FTN" and a tag a name to it. Register here with that name and join the group, then when a 'hot' site needs attention a group message to all members as a subject of "call to arms" :>) (a…

I created a group called "Fair Tax Command." Anyone who wants to join can for the time being. I've got to start work, but I'll be on a lot later. Thanx

It maybe easier if one or more people volunteer to be assigned to monitor a specific website. Example: I already monitor Freerepublic.com and could also have a few more assigned there so someone will monitor the site during a good portion of the day. We should also take the initiative to foster Fair Tax discussion at these sites by posting related articles etc... The same can be applied to other sites and then notify others at Fair Tax Nation to join in any Fair Tax related debate but people…

The same can be applied to other sites and then notify others at Fair Tax Nation to join in any Fair Tax related debate but people will have to be willing to register at these websites. Keep in mind this will eventually become very active as we increase our presence on other websites. This should become progressively easier as more people join Fair Tax Nation.

This is why you should do it in groups. You can have a private group that only the group members and the site admins can view. Personal info shared would be kept to those folks who are helping with the specific cause.<br />
<br />
Having this thing set up on the front page would make this a targeted site as well by the opponents. I've learned a few things by watch other sites like 'TeamSarah' .<br />
<br />
Please do take the lead and see if others are willing to join in.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Yes, that is one thing I've been thinking about. That might mean a secure section of the site. If it is a true "Command Center," that is. I think this is going to have to be one of those things that evolves through trail-and-error. Start out small and do what works. I'm available for 3-4 hours a day during the afternoon, and then again in the wee hours as I work night shift that frequently affords me a lot of free time to surf

Well. We should probably go old school. Think of it like Network Operations.<br />
<br />
1. On Call Schedule<br />
2. Assigned rotation, certian days, etc.<br />
3. Scheduled "watch points" / reports.<br />
4. Hotline/Ingress for things to come in<br />
5. Even a group mailbox with an efax number would be great so people can find articles and just e-mail or fax them to us. (snail mail?)<br />
6. Phone trees<br />
7. mentors/leads.<br />

Well, theres one idea, lets keep them coming. The page could have the permanent links similar to the Fairtax.org site, and then below could be another section with the less-permanent links having to do with active news articles, vents, editorials, and so on?

I appreciate your suggestion however I have another one that may prove as effective . The fairtax.org website permanently posts links to other Fair Tax related websites on it's home page under a section titled "Help Grow the FairTax Network" with the caption "Make a stand for the FairTax by joining and posting on these FairTax-related sites:". I suggest a similar section be created at the Fair Tax Nation home page.

I spent much of last night experimenting with some things. I used Google and Yahoo search to look for articles in the news. My target was to find <i>recent</i> articles, vents, blurbs, letters-to-the-editor, editorials, etc, etc, where the Fair Tax is mentioned and the ensuing discussion involves the Fair Tax.<br />
<br />
I found a few, but I was surprised that it was a little more tedious than I imagined. Many times I ended up getting false hits, and on those occasions where it wasn't immediately obvious…

<br />
I found a few, but I was surprised that it was a little more tedious than I imagined. Many times I ended up getting false hits, and on those occasions where it wasn't immediately obvious the Fair Tax was being discussed, the only way to find out was to scan the article and the related discussions.<br />
<br />
That tends to tell me about the kind of network we need to set up. We are definitely going to need everyone to be vigilant and contribute. Everybody keeping watch in their neck of the woods, and then setting off the alarm when a Fair Tax opponent hits the tripwire.<br />
<br />
When they find an article where the discussion is ongoing, the link for that article is going to have to be posted somewhere on the FairTaxNation site where everyone knows to look.<br />
<br />
I'm not familiar with the functionality of this site yet, so I wouldn't dare try to suggest the best way to post these links. Perhaps someone who is more web saavy than me knows the obvious answer and will share it.
