Noretro said:In the past week, every minute I saw the momentum under this thread. I believed that if we had and kept this spirit from the introduction of sec. 8001, we might already won the battle.
Today, we suffered from our loss. We are depressed, we are sad, we are losing momentum. I am afraid if we cannot recover from the tragedy, all the spirit will fade away after the holidays.
I saw a lot of thoughts in this forum about what we should go after this defeat. In my humble opnion, we need a leader to organize these thoughts, take actions and lead us to move forward. We need a coordinate working with business lobbyst and AILA to work more efficiently. We need a person who is responsible for collecting our concerns and write to media. We need friends living in DC, VA, and MD to go to the congress to express our thoughts. Finally, we need everybody meet their representive to have our voice heard.
The battle we have lost doesn't mean we will lose the war. We are depressed, but we should not give up! Let's call for a leader who can take the responsibility, who can organize all the effort, who can lead us forward. The war is not over because we are still not freed!!!
I see a thread collecting user information. There are still 149 replies. However, there are thousands of people in the forum. I understand that some people are afraid of this or that. But keep one word in mind, our task cannot be achieved with only 149 people. So please, to those who are still passive, we need your help!!! Please, not only for the others, but also yourself.
Once all the people are united, we can elect a man/woman to lead us for next battle. Rememer, nobody will help you if we don't help ourselves.

WaldenPond said:All Members,
This is highly motivated group. Lot of members on this forum has this burning desire to achieve something good. This thread initiated by 'sunjoshi' has been great portal to connected individuals affected by retrogression.
Based on the creative ideas presented on this forum, I have compiled a rough document towards initiative to create a plan for moving forward. The attached document is just a rough draft to start this effort and there maybe repetition in tactics section. Please forgive me for that.... and leave that to the core group to sort out.
Moving forward here is what I propose:
No effort can achieve any success if the effort is not coordinated and well organized. And here we are talking about changing US Constitution. I do not think it is much useful to simply do what we have been doing in the past i.e. making calls and sending faxes in an uncoordinated way. I think we can do better and really create the impact with organized effort. To achieve this we need group of individuals who have shown commitment and motivation in this forum. I propose following group (I have deliberately excluded myself from this group not because I am not ready to take responsibility but because I do not want to create this false impression as if I am bullying the effort. So I would request to not write back telling that I am not taking any responsibility.).
## Create a Core group of that consist of sunjoshi, pdakwala, indio0617, spgtopper, indionozdam, neha_wal, stucklabor, khodalmd, pallu2004, kalimmigration, rucshaca, mydearcard, gth999, ram_ram, jamiw75, Hopeful_123, Canadian_Dream. This group will initiate and plan the effort. First thing is to exchange emails and phones where these members could be reached. Organize a conference call tomorrow evening at 8:00 pm or any other time suitable to these members at the earliest. The members of this group will travel on personal resources to Washington to meet decision makers.##
(I am ready to travel to Washington and other places anytime and put in $5000 on behalf of anybody with financial resource deficit rather than motivation deficit. I do not want to create a false impression here.... I struggle everyday to meet my ends.... But I think this is a very important issue).
And if any member wants to be part of the core group, just know that by expressing that desire you are the member of the core group. I just created this list of core group members just because there has to be some beginning and this guidance from these individuals has been immeasurable to this forum. I invite suggestion and ideas from all the members and especially from the members listed above because they have to express the commitment before the effort could initiate. If anybody do not want to part of this or want to put in effort the way it is right now, well that can go in parallel to this effort.
And if anything written here is offensive to anybody, I sincerely apologize because the intent of this is not to offend anybody.
This is just the beginning.... Please participate.

gc_bronco said:I will volunteer to be part of the core group. I will also volunteer to get a web host for this new association. I think we should keep things simple by just having a Forum and a Wiki.
brkl1935 said:Hi WaldenPond,
I read your list of plan and strategy, looks very interesting and professional. Can you really be leader of this group and provide all information during the all way till our victory. I was following this thread from the first day and did not see your name before, actually I also did not post, but I did send faxes, I did my best.
Can I ask you, Are you attorney?
I ask this because today was really bad day and it did me and I think other people more angry, I really want win this war, but we need very good leader to find right way.
Sorry if I ask some thing wrong
