We had 12 people at the WLA meeting - thanks to all who came.
1) based on consensus, 12 individuals decided that we would have
meetings at Cody's on the third Wednesday of the month. So the next
meeting will be on October 16. I tried to set a trap and called for a
vote, but Kyle was too shrewd and quick to note that there are no
votes in WLA :-)
2) libertarian campaigns for the fall. Joe Duarte and Bob Quilici
were the two candidates in attendance who asked for our help.
It looks like PCC is dropping the charges against Joe, but his
hearing is still going to be on Monday the 16th (that's THIS Monday)
at 9:30 AM at the Hall of Justice or whatever it's called. I'll leave
it to Joe to give the specifics. Since the charges are going to be
dropped we're not going to do a protest, but Joe woul like people to
come and support him if they can.
I'm working on getting Bob a speaking opportunity with Firearms
Action Committee of Tucson - I've gotten speakers at the last four
monthly FACT meetings so this should not be a problem. I recommend
all activists who have the night free come to Desert Trails on Friday
Sept 20 at 7:00 PM, because FACT members are extremely hard-core
about their freedom.
3) Terry Bressi is the Pima County coordinator for the We The People
organization which is demandin that the federal government provide
redress for grievances regarding the federal income tax. I grilled
him pretty hard on what WTP is claiming is the law, and I have proof
that WTP founder Bob Schulz is speaking fraudulently on a number of
points and I presented my evidence.
But in the interests of fair play, I suggest people form their own
opinion after visiting WTP's website:
www.givemeliberty.org
4) We had a brief discussion about doing ballot initiatives or
possibly opposing initiatives in 2003 and 2004. I fully expect John
Kromko to get a light-rail initiative on the ballot in 2003, and this
is something that needs to be opposed because it is a big waste of
money and will create yet another transportation welfare program.
John Nemeth is extremely knowledgeable about this issue and I imagine
he'll be able to poke all kinds of holes in such an initiative.
I talked with Ernie Hancock last week and he suggested that we in
Pima get accustomed to the initiative process by starting one up in
one of the smaller cities, like Marana or Oro Valley. Then we can
take a bigger bite in 2004, possibly a statewide initiative. More on
that later...
5) Reminder: Neither Jason nor I is the boss of WLA in Tucson. If you
read the Covenant of Alliance and agree with it, and you want to call
a meeting or start a project, you have that power. And likewise, each
individual has the power to decide whether to join you or not.
I hope everyone is thinking about what kinds of projects, however big
or small, can be done. Evenif you don't think you can be the leader
of a project, your suggestion can lead to someone else stepping in to
carry the load.
Again, thanks to everyone who came. I'm looking forward to some great
activism with you all.
