Any ideas for a realistic alternative to the Free Speech Coalition?

Well, the more I have thought about forming our own webmaster association, the harder if not impossible the idea seems to me.

I just don't see how we can herd these cats. It would be tough enough to get 50 $100 commitments here from the GG&J community. Trying to approach the other communities and getting them to go along just seems like an impossible task. I know for sure I don't have the rep and power to pull off getting even one other board/community to join up, I'm not sure even Greenguy could do it.

Maybe a virtual association of just us GG&J peeps, all withholding our memberships and donations at once, could work. Even that I have my doubts about.

If we could talk one other board into also forming a virtual association, that would be a big achievement.

I think we should put pressure on the FSC and the AFF at the same time, and play them against each other.
