ACTIVE: State Presidents Take Control – Register Here

Read the ACTIVE Mission Statement, and register here with our new state-of-the-art registration form.
Sunday, April 5:
The first ACTIVE Operational Manual went out to State Presidents. Phone calls to state membership begin this week.
UPDATE: Saturday, April 4 – All state leaders have received the contact information for each and every one of their State registrants. They will be sending you a welcoming email, and placing a welcoming phone call.
There is no need for any one of you to be proactive about contacting us upward, we will be contacting you downward.
As for lateral contact, that burden isn’t on you either. We will provide you the ability to contact other members in your local chapter.
There is a chain of command, with the responsibilities of command and control, that must be respected. By way of example, local rank and file are not allowed to jump the chain and bypass their local leadership by going to district, regional, state, or national leadership directly with ACTIVE business. There will, however, be exceptions of extraordinary circumstance, and a formal grievance process to deal with urgent matters regarding a perceived critical failure on the part of direct leadership. People who abuse either process will be thanked for their contributions, and dismissed from the organization.
UPDATE: Wednesday, April 1. The entire process of building the organization out quickly by having State Presidents get into immediate contact with their state registrants to handle the business of ACTIVE’s build-out, has just taken the critical quantum leap forward that it needed with a modern registration and contact system. We had been waiting for the ACTIVE website, due in a week or less, but things were happening to quickly for the dig, cut, paste and distribute methodology we had been emplyoing through the comments boards.
Now, once you register, your information is quickly delivered to your area leadership, who will then make personal contact with you, and get you up and running.
Which all does of course mean, that we need each and every one of you to now fill out a proper, and very simple, registration form by clicking here and going to the registration page.
We keep charging ahead…
Wednesday, April 1 UPDATE: Recognizing the amazing speed with which this organization is coming together, and the critical nature of a thorough database of registrant contact info to a State President’s ability to do their jobs of appointing the regional leaders below them, Chad is going to set up a regular and thorough registration form on this site today, instead of waiting for it to be published on the ACTIVE website.
In addition, the first version of the ACTIVE website is complete, Chad is just waiting for the thorough input from those of us in the National Office to review the site, give him our feedback, argue back and forth with us, and then make the implemented changes we agree on. It appears that the community center for ACTIVE, from the neighborhood to the national level, the ACTIVE website, will be up and running in a matter of days.
What’s with all this gay paranoia about talking in the chat room? After the show I’m trying to communicate with people about stepping up and taking on some work, and people are half-ass standing up to take action, not paying attention to the business at hand, and/or blabbering about tech talk. Not happy. Just gonna start kickinig tourists, blowhards and Experts off, registered or not.
Focus, work, action, or goodbye.
Thanks you to all who kept their eye on the ball and stood up and put their efforts where their keystrokes are.

UPDATE: The day is turning out to be tremendously succesful, as I’m getting very serious, very angry, very smart, very tough, many with solid military experience to stand up and take leadership roles at the state and regional level. Y’all motivate me. As I continue to talk to people both smarter than me and often more passionate and dedicated than me about this organization and its promise, I get more and more moto than I’ve ever been about anything in my life.
