    The way we see it is, we funnel members in the *INSERT AREA CODE* to the leaders and they either organize them or recommend a unit for them to join.

     

    See it as "Militia champions" for each area code

     

    what are your thoughts on that?

    There are a lot of good people, acting as leaders now but there are many leaders that could not lead a troop of boy scouts across the street to Walgreen's. This comes from my past encounter with a few. We need to look at their past actions or inaction's. Their past and/or present military and/or law enforcement experience. look at their commitment to the oath they took, the constitution and most of all the American people. The oath we all took does NOT have an expiration date on it.

    To some extent I agree with some of your comments, first come first served, not good. This is what I have been praying for and suggesting for years, across the country organization to be able to act as one when needed and an open lines of communication to all units. The military and law enforcement have it and it works. We should have the same with what you might call board members in each state communicating together and making the right decisions. The problem the militia has is EGOS. Drop the EGOS and you have a movement that works as one.

    I'm sorry but I strongly disagree with how this is being managed. For starters, many of these regions are poorly planned. Look at Northern GA, for instance. Someone on the Alabama border, west of Atlanta, is in the same unit as someone on the Tennessee, N Carolina, or S Carolina borders, hours away? Meanwhile ATL is its own region. Because of phone numbers? These boundaries need to be re-visited, preferably by locals who actually know their area. Or maybe it can be rearranged via some sort of population density map, cross-referenced against zip codes rather than area codes? I moved from Seattle to Georgia. Even in Seattle, I had a 509 number but lived in 425 and 206 territory. Now I still have a 509 number and live in 706/762. This whole map is a soup sandwich.

     

    My second issue is "giving command" to whomever replies first. That's ridiculous. If y'all want to follow someone based upon their ability to reply to an email, you go right on ahead. Me? I'll follow based on experience and merit.

     

    This entire project needs to be put on hold and re-evaluated. You need local participants to make local decisions. Currently I haven't even seen a single functioning unit in my entire state. You need to work on establishing connections before you go trying to establish units. Have there been any meet ups? Any events? Maybe make a task list for local events that helps people build units organically, and THEN ask who they chose as their leader.

     

    Until then you won't catch me anywhere near one of these units.

  4. I plan on going. I live in Jasper AL, about 700 miles, and need all the info you can give me concerning this event. Time, place, parking, is this more than a day, how to dress, do we carry out ARs and so on. Is there going to be a place to stay when I show up the day before and maybe the day after. Appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, Jim Peyton, III%, Guns Up
