2257 - Im about to be real unpopular!

I just called the FSC at their new membership number and joined.

I had given money before, when they still had an online donation system. I wanted to wait to join until they had installed a new online credit card system, but I decided to test their new 800 phone number.

The number, for those who don't already have it, is:

1-800-681-0403

A nice lady answered, and the process was painless.

You have to choose between individual, company, and corporation. Individual is $50. Most of us can afford that easily.

She wanted name, address, email address, and a website url if you have one. And the basic dredit card info.

She asked if I wanted to add any comments- I gave her two:

1. Improve the website, particularly adding a system to take money and memberships online.

2. Don't make deals, fight the new regulations in court.

So, the new 800 number works. You can join for $50 as an individual, no questions asked.

I'm totally with Linkster on this. FSC is the closest thing to a professional organization we have. We can fight to change it's attitudes and faults from the inside.

Call now, before 5pm pacific time, and join.

Alex, love ya man, but I think you are wrong on this issue.

I think our best option here in the US is to all join the FSC, and hammer at it untill it acts the way we want it to act.

There is no other organization ready to act politically and legally on our behalf.

FSC has it's faults, but they can be worked on. If they don't improve, we dump them and start again with some other organization.

But, folks, we are at the beginning of a fight that will last many, many years.

We need an offensive weapon. The ACLU is a defensive weapon. Join both the ACLU and the FSC, because we are in for a fight for the right to stay in business.

$50 as an individual, $100 as a business, $300 as a corporation. These are small amounts of money.

Criticise and educate and change the FSC from the inside.
