Gore 2008 Meetup Chats, Come and join the fun!

When are the MeetUp chats?

We don't have any scheduled at the moment.

Ok, this looks like the only thread where people are talking, and you mention strategy, so I want to talk strategy:

Simple:

Al Gore needs to go sit with Bill Gates, and convince the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation to change their focus slightly.

The Bill and Melinda gates foundation has got brains, money, and influence, more than anyone. They want to cure disease. What they need to incorporate, is that disease is a function of the environment. That message is missing from their mission statement.

Al Gore could be the one to put it in there. If Bill and Melinda Gates adjust their mission, they could save the world.

This could be our best hope.

What do you think?

I'm the same user as the above post, but now I'm registered.

I just registered, so if there is anyone I can talk to about that idea, I'd really like to talk to someone about that to see what we could do to make it happen.

If it hasn't already...

-Mark

Wouldn't you need to talk to Bill and Melinda Gates?

And you could write a letter to Al if you want him to approach them . . .

My past experience with getting people to agree on a date to meet was to simply set a date (i.e. second Tuesday of each month) and say I will be there at that time, show up if you can. I did that and after unsuccessful years of trying to get a group of my friends together for even once a year, we met as a group 8 to 9 times a year (for several years after that).

My participation?? I'm not good on the fly and pretty much never use chat which what I guess you mean is instant messenger.

I'm not as politically astute as most of you. I'm mostly environmental minded except that I can't think of anything more important than having Al Gore for President. So I will try to keep up if you all don't mind.

Date and Time - don't matter to me.

Yeah, we've had a terrible time trying to get everybody to agree when we could do this in the past. You're right, thisplanet, that we just have to pick a date and time, and whoever can be there will be there.

I'm not exactly sure what there is to discuss right now, but if people want to have a chat, we can certainly set one up. Just let me know . . .

There is a meeting of Southside DFA at Pilgreen's in Morrow (Atlanta area) on the first Wednesday of each month {this coming Wednesday July 5} at 7:00. I am working through DFA in this particular area to formulate both a progressive message and a Gore for President organization. Anyone in the Atlanta area is welcome...just go to the DFA-link and RSVP for this meeting. Keep the faith. :clap:

Good work, yardman.

We'll be starting Gore meetups soon across the country--target date, the beginning of August.

Will notify everyone when that gets underway.
