Mission

• Networking and training – be for NM Patriots, Constitutionalists, etc., what al-Qaeda is for Islamic terrorism

• Politics, training, networking, etc., should be FUN, too

Committees

• Correspondence – communications / networking

• Revolution – activism: electioneering, public speaking, rallies, street theater
• Safety – preparedness, resistance
• Vigilance – oversight of government activity

1. Activities / functions of committees will probably overlap with each other

2. Committees to consist of chair and vice-chair
3. Put out lists of tasks that need doing

Two types of unity –

1. Common purpose and principles – ideal path

2. Leader tells dissenters “shut up and do as you’re told” – comes up all too often

Leadership style –

• Lead by example is the ideal way.

• Don’t be stupid – use common sense, rational thought.
• Don’t ask others to do things that you’re not willing to do yourself.
• Check your facts and premises.
• Don’t take the rank and file for granted.

Invitation-only events do NOT get broadcast to the general public or membership – Send ONLY to those on the invite list.

Keep speakers local when possible – focus on developing speakers in the state. Speakers from out-of-state cost more, plus travel time makes scheduling more difficult.

Keep meals at events as no-host when possible – Saves headaches with planning

• No worries about preferences, dietary requirements, shortages / leftovers

• Can lessen the price of tickets at the door

Fundraising

• Non-profit organizations can hold up to two (2) raffles per year, per New Mexico State Law

• Raffle off a rifle, pistol, etc.

How to get volunteers motivated?

• Contests?

• Challenges?
• Avoid fear-mongering!

How to recruit?

1. Invite selected members from LPNM, BTPNM, RGF, AC4L, TRT-NM, NM Linux / open-source groups, Friends of Capitalism, Tea Parties, RLCNM, etc.

2. Mass appeal (warm bodies) vs snob appeal (Ex: USMC – “The Few. The Proud. The Marines.”)
1. Mass appeal – more people will join and get things done (hopefully)

2. Snob appeal – “do you have what it takes . . .” – better quality people?
3. Both approaches needed somewhat
1. Create larger group for the strap-hangers and camp followers

2. Create “elite” group for the people who get things done
3. Selection process / standards?
   1. Screen for racialists, religious wackos (sp?), those obsessed w/conspiracy fantasies, gangstas, con artists, etc.

   2. Ask prospects for resumé, DD-214(s), cirriculum vitae, transcript(s), letter(s) of recommendation . . . ?
   3. Ask prospects how much time, money, effort they can devote to the cause

Internal affairs – Allow as much transparency as possible

• Easier to avoid “conspiracy” charges from government, media, etc.

• Lets the membership know what’s going on
• How can we call for openness from government if we’re not open ourselves?
