Free Dominion Internet Defense Fund Initiative

There are ways that we can get our campaign featured higher at indiegogo. If we have people leaving comments and uploading pics etc, it will increase our ranking.

Great work, pirapoi! I put it up!

Thank you, -
Yes, I noticed it was already up.

I kept it the same size as the Free Thinking Film Festival one (since that event was over anyway) in case you wanted to keep the C2C one up.

I have the basic image saved, so making alterations (size, different wording, colours etc) isn't a problem.

But I do take issue with you referring to FD'ers as "ruffians".

I once slurped up half a pint off a barroom table. Does that count?

And as a bar maid in a former life I had the hands that picked the butts out of the urinal and then served your drink

Yes, I'm sorry about that my dear. That was before smoking was banned.

Would you give the OK to FDers to make some donations? Maybe we could up the traffic a bit.

It isn't that we don't want FDers to donate, Blaze Pascal, we just didn't want FDers to think we were targeting them specificly. FDers have been giving for years and have been the backbone of our fundraising but we are hoping to reach a broader audience with this initiative.

Yes, I know they have. And I also hope this does reach a broader audience. Let's keep chipping away at it.

If any FDers will volunteer to be part of the team on the indiegogo site, I've found out that that will help our ranking. Also, there is a forum over there. If you leave a comment, that gives us a boost, too.

Anyone who thinks that they do not have an interest in this effort is mistaken. If you operate a blog, chat room, forum or any site where you allow other to make comments and observations, or if you participate on such sites, including newspaper, magazine, radio and television sites, some people want to limit your participation in public debate. They do not want others to hear your opinions or views. They want to control public discussion.

The internet has not only opened public dialogue to millions of people in North America, the discussions forums have made mainstream media outlets and politicians at every level very, very nervous. They cannot control internet content. As long as you or I can post an issue to a web site and then dozens or even hundreds of others chime in with their views, politicians and governments cannot channel or limit debate. If we can strike fear into the hearts of those who seek to control us, we will get our country back from their clutches.

WV is right. The internet puts millions at home, perhaps immobile or disabled straight into a form of coffee shop chatter and conversation. Restricting the net amounts to locking up the coffee shops, diners, transit busses and park benches.

And it goes so much further - the censorship where many don't see it. The CBC never opens their comment feedback section on any news story involving muslim based atrocities or terror related items for example. Try entering an opinion at a site YOU OWN on Omar Khadr for instance. You don't have the option. They can report later that Canadians are tolerant of islam when a damn great many of us are not.

Every shred of this garbage and its lies have got to be turned around.

Great post, RedDog. Can you please post it on the fundraising site? It will give the page a boost in the rankings, and it's inspirational, to boot! http://www.indiegogo.com/freedominion?c ... s&a=787225

[Connie Fournier]

And, if you do it, can you please "like" it on facebook for us, too?

I did post it (I think) removing the first three words. Perhaps there's a moderation delay? I had to register too so I'll review later if it happened and if not send it again. Every one of these set ups is a little different of course.
