[nfb-talk] Future NFB Conventions

[Darian Smith]

it's interesting.  But it's been said that you get better rates in
cities where  people are not likley to flock to.
 Still,  if you can swing 90 bucks for san fran, you might get people.
 seminar in washington is  $154 per person if I remember correctly.

"And if you will join me in this improbable quest, if you feel destiny
calling, and see as I see, a future of endless possibility stretching
before us;
if you sense, as I sense, that the time is now to shake off our
slumber, and slough off our fear, and make good on the debt we owe
past and future generations,
then I'm ready to take up the cause, and march with you, and work with
you. Together, starting today, let us finish the work that needs to be
done, and
usher in a new birth of freedom on this Earth."- Baraq Obama
