Why Ron Paul supporters and faith-based groups will benefit from sponsoring Community Gathering

Right now I want to target two already existing groupswho I think would benefit tremendously from sponsoring Community GatheringsOf course anyone can sponsor a community gathering, but there is a great advantage in having an already existing infrastructure in order to organize the gathering. Some other groups and individuals which would find much benefit are Open Space Technology facilitators, Non-violent Communication practitioners, Time Banking groups, neighborhood associations, locally-owned businesses, health food stores, Green Party, Libertarian Party, Constitution Party and other groups with a desire to elect certain candidates

The reasons I think Ron Paul for President supporters and faith-based groups would be especially good is because both of these groups have a lot of energy and momentum and resources. My studies show that a growing number of churches want to be of service in the neighborhood they are located in. Ron Paul supporters have a passion to create a grassroots movement to both elect Ron Paul for president and create an on going network that supports the cause of freedom--whether or not Ron Paul gets elected. Both of these groups have a lot of passion--and I think that is going to be the key to success.

So here are benefits that any group or individual would receive from sponsoring a Community Gathering:

1. The Community Gathering provides a much-needed service to the community, and can incorporated help from businesses, schools, government and community organizations. This creates credibility with all of these groups as well as with the people attending.

2. The Community Gathering provides a way for the sponsoring organization's members to connect with each other on a deeper level, building a more cohesive and strong membership.

3. The Community Gathering offers a non-threatening platform for getting the sponsors message out to people who normally might not be receptive. Because everyone has an opportunity to invite others to join in conversations and activities, the sponsor is demonstrating free speech. The sponsor has equal right to present ideas. Many people might not even be interested in these ideas, but as the Community Gathering grows in numbers and effectiveness, so does the receptivity to the sponsors viewpoint.

4. The sponsor will gain new members because people will have direct experience of the sincerity, kindness and commitment of the volunteers and staff that participate in the Community Gathering.

5. All people who are members of the sponsoring organization can feel a sense of joy and pride because they are making a huge difference

6. For faith based groups especially, they are fulfilling their purpose of reaching out to the needy, the oppressed, and the marginalized.

Well, I hope that I have given you enough reasons to contact me. I would love to have a webmaster who wanted to join with me to create a website and a training program for this cause. I also need donations so that I can pursue this full time!
