For the remainder of today and tomorrow, for reasons of safety, the ACTIVE website will be available to a limited number, 125 to be specific, of ACTIVE members. Chad has determined that it is in the best interests of the site for the following reason: new websites are prone to bugs and therefor crashes, which often can wipe out the database, whole or in part. This means that everyone would have to go back and recreate their entire Activity Networking profile. ( BTW, no personal information is accessible to, or will ever be seen by, other members, other than that which you so chose to be, by personally giving it to them. Only your screen name and State are openly knowable).

Keep in mind we are doing something unique with the site structure. We are cross-breeding the chaotic, anything goes intercommunication tools of a social networking site, with the demands, rigors and regulations of a military-style organization, and all its attendant disciplines. We are creating an Activity Networking site out of the technology of a Social Networking site. Some of the sites rules will be enforceable by technology, ie hacks that Chad is creating and implementing into the site over the next two days. For now, some of these rules will be enforced by directive, and the discipline of members wishing to remain members. For instance, like any Social Networking site, each user can create a Group. Uh-uh, not here, not yet. For now, only State, Regional, District, Local, and Neighborhood leaders are allowed to create one group for their designated are of responsibility, and each group will be named according to its area of operations. Anyone who otherwise creates a group will be questioned as to why they felt so compelled to create a Poodle Lovers group or whatever, despite the clear direction not to.

Myself and others are now going to begin the process of giving the required user name and password to a randomly chosen 125 people.

Guys, I’m truly excited. And a big part of that excitement is because I’m making good progress at getting others to step up and take the reins of PD.com during parts of the day, allowing me to finally get fully immersed in ACTIVE. Which is to say, start bugging the out of leadership about what we can start stirring up. God knows they’ve been waiting. It’s unfortunate ACTIVE took the hit that it took over the last week, pinning me down here when I needed to be there, but we are recovering. And it was a change that had to come anyway. It was obvious.

I’ll tell you one thing, ladies and gentleman, succeed or fail, we are attempting to do precisely the single mosty important thing that needs to be done in this country, at this moment in time. There must be an effective Conservative grass-roots political organization that can blanket the land, or we’re dead in the water. If it’s not us, so be it; the “who” of it doesn’t matter to me, if I was out for myself I’d have gone back to a Beverly Hills office and commensurate paycheck a long time ago. But I pray to God somebody pulls it off, cos otherwise, Conservatisim, and by the looks of things, this country, are both dead in the water.

Let’s kick some ass.
