Minutes for the August Meeting



The Madison Townhall Conservatives met at the UW-Madison Union Terrace on Tuesday, 1 August 2006 at 1900.

1. Discussion of townhall.com dumping the townsquare concept. Do we go back to townhall.meetup.com? Steddy had reserved a Madison Townhall at the new townhall.com as our blog. Fearless leader will research the blog and yahoo message board in order for us to decide which is better for the group. There was mentioned that the yahoo message board which is private, public can't view it, be used as a place for the members to form ideas that could be refined and later posted at the townhall.com blog of Madison Townhall. Permission was granted to put Fearless Leader's e-mail address into the blog's address list so that he may receive posts to aid his research.

2. There was a question if it was the G8 or G7 plus Russian summit. It was pointed out that it was the G1 plus 7.

2a. Something about Jefferson's use of Letters of Marque would be a better way to fight terrorism by letting private enterprise fight the war with persmission to keep the booty. There was a question if a later treaty or meddlesome international "law" forbids Letters of Marque now.

3. Rep. Mark Green information was handed out. Information for helping his campaign to dump Doyle who currently controls the Governorship was available. See Mark Green for Governor at http://www.votemarkgreen.com

There are three months left in this campaign season.

4. Write Tommy Thompson in for US Senate in the September primary election, and the November general election. There was a brief mention of Senator LIEberman's primary election. Usual suspected words to describe Hillary Clinton.

5. That idiot UW instructor who insists the Vice President planned and carried out 9/11 shall not be given more mention again. We don't wish to other idiots the idea that there is a place in the Wisconsin schools for them and their stupid ideas.

6. The heat wave isn't global warming: its Summer, Stupid!

7. It was reported that a member's parents who are visiting from California are enjoying listening to Rush. They especially enjoy the new terms he create such as "drive-by media."

8. The main topic was on the Hezbollah battle in the war on terror. Sorry to report no solution was found other than Cato's old plan for Carthege. In short, Hezbollah must be destroyed -- Hezbollah will be destroyed. There was agreement this is a religious war.

Meeting ajourned near 21:00 for all of ours parking meters were expiring (That damn meter ate two quarters: I got a parking ticket!). It is presumed the next meeting is the first Tuesday of September or at the call of the chair. Sin die.
