PLEASE PLEASE fill out your State C4L org info at the RPF's WIKI!

It's not as bad as you think. One of your first-first actions will be voting for your State C4L Coordinator. If you have that much of an issue with the person they identify -- vote for someone else.

Just got off the phone with Andrew at HQ and we have no state coordinator. He said it sounds like VT is going to be interesting because we are so small that we won't need to necessarily have an organized top-down structure. It's possible I misunderstood him, but he gave me a contact to send a list of questions to and in the meantime encouraged me to work with my meetup group to discuss possible candidates for the coordinator position and begin organizing our chapter.

I'm still at a loss as to how to set up an organization for a chapter when the rules and details for national still aren't finalized but we'll see what happens.

Debbie, if you're interested in talking to me about any of this I would love to discuss it with you. Feel free to pm me and maybe we can talk via telephone?

However, I don't think it's a great idea to post all this information publicly on the internet, all in one place. It makes it to easy for the wrong people to get all the organizational contacts for the entire country, and also makes it way to easy for software to harvest all those email addresses. We may be out in the open now, but we don't need to be that public.

I totally agree with your concern.

Have all of the names being publicly posted by district/state been effectively made available for state/national GOP "blacklisting"?

Can you imagine the next state convention or RNC?

Does CFL know that this information is being requested for all states and is being publicly posted on RonPaulForums.com (no login required)?

Did the District coordinators below give *permission* to publicly post their full names with area of which state?

***Do you have any idea how easy it is to get *home addresses*, phone numbers, and/or year of birth with just the information below?

Question: Why isn't this information being collected by CFL through its own site with data access restrictions?

If a $35 membership fee is being required for Precinct Captains, shouldn't this District-level information only be made available to paying members as part of the CFL tools?

Obviously, the "opposition" would fork over the $35, but at least they'd be donating to the cause.

However, then, there would at least be a valid e-mail address and IP address tracking.

It's the criminals and spammers who have been given free access that concern me

Constituent and I disagree on the cost/benefit of publicly posting this information, assuming the people gave permission to have their names publicly posted.

ba-rump!

Honestly, I am with you in that I don't see a whole heckuvalot of scenarios in which an anonymous C4L coordinator would be a benefit, even in an openly hostile state. Indeed, I think it would be a detriment to the very necessary recruiting effort required to build up enough manpower to "vote the bastards out" of their GOP Chairs. But I am allowing for the possibility that they are facing a scenario that I can not envision or foresee.

Nonetheless, they would need to have at LEAST a State contact so that people on RPF's from Washington who want to help the C4L can contact them and be directed to their local coordinator.

Also, being a publicly registered group with elected officers, the identity of those officers will be public knowledge ANYWAY, which the GOP will be able to easily find, so I don't honestly know what good hiding a name on RPF's would do, but...again, I don't know everything.

I like what Marianne did for Minnesota. State Coordinator contact info and just the first names for the districts. Anyone can then contact her (their State Coordinator) to pass their information on to the local level. And for us already active, first names is enough.
