Hi Virginia Beach!

My name is Kathy and I just signed up to be your new Organizer. I took on this position because when I tried to post a message for you all, I was informed that your Meetup group no longer existed because your former Organizer stepped down. If any of you would rather be the Organizer locally, I am happy to step down and allow you to step up.

I have been an enthusiastic Ron Paul supporter since I googled him two years ago, and have been very involved with the Ron Paul Meetup in Austin, TX. I'll write more about myself below, under the event information.

I would love to meet you all (whether or not I continue as your Organizer)! I would like to suggest the Evening with Chalcedon in Williamsburg this Saturday as a Meetup.

The Chalcedon Foundation was a sponsor of Dr. Paul's Rally for the Republic. Every Chalcedon supporter I know is also an ardent supporter of Dr. Ron Paul. Even if you don't agree with everything that Chalcedon presents, they offer in-depth scholarship and information that you just cannot find anywhere else. I've met so many amazing people through Chalcedon, besides finding answers to questions I could not get answers to anywhere else.

Here's the Meetup information:

MORE ABOUT CHALCEDON:

Since 1965, the Chalcedon Foundation has led the way in educating Christians in the biblical doctrine of law and liberty through scholarly books, journals, magazine, and position papers.

Chalcedon believes that America’s foundation, established on biblical Law and principles, is her only solution to the encroaching tyranny we are fighting against today, and that there can be no liberty without responsibility – specifically, the self-governing Christian living in terms of Scripture. God created men to be free, and the state swells in power only when God’s people, out of ignorance or indolence, fail to obey His relatively few and fixed laws. When allowed, the state historically always becomes a tyrant imposing countless man-made and ever-changing laws, restrictions and demands on the people.

Chalcedon has the message of victory and vision for the future inherent in the faith that America's Founding Fathers embraced but that most American churches left behind over a century ago. The faith of America's Founding Fathers is still our solution to tyranny, just like it was for them.

The Evenings With Chalcedon are designed for encouraging, empowering, and equipping, and will provide an opportunity to meet others in your area that share your faith and worldview. The intimate setting is a great way to learn more about the ministry of Chalcedon and the work of R. J. Rushdoony.

NOTE FROM KATHY:

Due to space limitations in this posting, I will send more information about me via the email list. I am out of time right now to do any more, as I have to catch a plane to Virginia!!! :)

Hey everyone,

I know there are few people in this group that talk about holding signs near churches before and after services and I think this is a good idea. I like people to discuss this idea on the message board or email me and let me know what you think. I figure we could make sign.... Christians for Ron Paul or this Christian for Ron Paul, Pray about Ron Paul, his Pro-life stance, School choice. There is about 12 people in the Tidewater area that have joined this group. Would anyone be interested in this area? We can pick a new church or even your church to go to every week. Also for the people around the country, would you be interested in getting friends, family members, and even some of your local meet up people do to this at your local churches? Lets kick around some ideas for signs. I think this might be a good way to reach our local Christian communities.

Hey everyone,

I am trying to see if I can get this DVD made with some help from others in the group by next week. I have listed some ideas and video's from You tube that I think would go well on the DVD on the message board. Please check it out. Please send me any clips or ideas you have for the DVD. Once we get it made, I would glad to send a copy of the DVD to everyone, or somehow post it online.

Thanks,

Jen:)

Hello,
