Northwest Indiana Patriots
Northwest Indiana Patriots Mission Statement: To restore limited government, fiscal responsibility and accountable representation through citizen activism and education, in order to preserve the Constitution of the United States of America. Please visit our website: http://www.nwipatriots.com/ Visit our blog! Great pictures of where we have been! Visit our: "IN THE NEWS" as that will keep you informed!! We may be Republican, Libertarian, Democrat, or Independent. We may be pro-life or not. We may care passionately about the environment or we may only mildly care about the environment. We may want to legalize gay marriage or we may be adamantly opposed to it. We may be Christian or Jewish or of another faith. We may be old or we may be young. We cross a broad spectrum when looking at so many of the other issues that define us. When a person can no longer afford to provide for himself and his family without working 60+ hours a week because the government takes so much money out of his check, there is a problem. When a family must have two people working to pay afford basic necessities because the government is taking half their income in taxes, there is a problem. The ability to provide for yourself and your family is the most basic social issue. If we do not solve this social problem, the other social problems will not be important. If we cannot afford to take care of ourselves, how can afford to take care of others? We all agree the majority of our elected officials in Washington DC have become irresponsible with our tax dollars. These elected officials cannot seem to help taxing us and spending our money the way they see fit. They are putting our nation in debt at a rate of $1 million per minute. In the next 10 years, we will acquire a deficit of roughly $9.7 trillion (trillion with a T). They are passing bills in record time without even reading what is in the bills. There are special projects that benefit small individuals and groups around the country to the detriment of those who actually are working hard to pay the taxes. It is time for this wasteful spending to stop. It is time for the out of control taxing to stop. It is time to let those who are working hard to earn the money, keep the money they earn. It is time to stop rewarding failure and start rewarding entrepreneurship. We are all Americans and we are all tax payers. We all demand fiscal responsibility with our tax dollars. That's right our tax dollars, not Washington's dollars. This is the tie that binds us together. The organizers of NWIP's are all volunteers. We are a "grassroots" movement. Please feel free to donate what you can. We very much appreciate your contributions. Let "FREEDOM" ring!

We Are Change Chicago
We Are CHANGE Chicago EMAIL swizzlesteve@mac.com TO PLACE AN ORDER FOR OUR NEW T SHIRT, THEY ARE ONLY $20, AND THEY ARE GOING FAST. WEAR WE ARE CHANGE CHICAGO COLORS LOUD AND PROUD FELLOW INFOWARRIORS. PLEASE SUPPORT WE ARE CHANGE CHICAGO, ANY PROFIT MADE GOES DIRECTLY TO DVDS, FLIERS, AND OTHER SUPPLIES. THANK YOU AND KEEP RESISTING THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!! We Are Change has arisen from the remnants of our republic to fill the vacancy left by those who swore to preserve, protect and defend The Constitution against all enemies – foreign and domestic. We seek to expose the fraud of the left/right paradigm and reveal that the world truly functions on a top/down hierarchy that threatens to destroy free society as we know it. We Are Change works to educate, motivate, and activate those striving to uncover the truth behind the private banking cartel of the military industrial complex that is directing the majority of U.S. policy, and that is actively seeking to eliminate national sovereignty and replace it with a "one world order." We will also continue to move in a direction that reconnects “We the People” to our nations founding principles laid out in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We Are Change also seek an uncompromising and independent investigation into the crimes of 9-11, with subpoena power granted to obtain a long-overdue resolution for the survivors and families of the deceased. We reject the official explanation of the events leading up to, during and after the attacks of September 11th, 2001 as well as the fear-based politics and state mandated propaganda being disseminated by the Corporate Media which has facilitated the cover-up of 9-11. As we establish citizens groups throughout the country and world, we wish to inspire a community of truth-seekers and peacemakers through creative campaigns with a commitment of nonviolence. We Are Change is not so much a group but an idea, an idea that “We the People" are the vehicles of these "ideas" and of the freedoms, liberties, and truths we are seeking all across the globe. An idea that captures the spirits of our forefathers who just desired freedom; that together, as residents of this planet, we grow like a snowball of truth and justice rolling down a mountain of tyranny growing bigger and stronger, recognizing the beauty in our differences and the diverseness of each other, but at the same time strengthening our cause because we learn and grow from each others individuality. Then as we learn to come together, that as one, you, me, him, her, us…will realize that WE ARE CHANGE. Enough is enough, it's time for us to take OUR country back, Let's make some CHANGE!

A Conversation On Race and Culture
What is this thing called race? What did the election of Barack Obama mean in terms of racial/cultural relations in America? We seem to have a clear understanding of prejudice and discrimination.

All of us are courageous indeed for coming together to have this conversation. May what we share be beneficial to each other and to the greater community. Thanks everyone!!!

Chicago South Suburban Residual Income Players
Have you ever heard the term 'residual income' and wondered what it really meant and how to create it? Have you been introduced to a Network Marketing or Direct Sales opportunity but wondered if it was really for you or if you could be successful at it? The Residual Income® Game lets players experience what it feels like to achieve a high income in direct sales and all the steps it takes to get there. Imagine shortening the learning curve such that you could learn in 2 hours what it typically takes 6 to 12 months to learn in the school of life experience. In a 2 hour workshop, players of the Residual Income Game will have learned and practiced all the key skills necessary to build a successful business, achieve rank advancements, and achieve "job-dropping" residual income. Topics of the workshop include prospecting, team development, personal development, finances and much more. Learn more about the game here: http://budurl.com/RITraining Since you learn best by doing, why not learn in an environment that allows you to actively practice the success pattern of direct sales. Then you’ll know what to do since you have done it. With the game, you’ll have a proven tool that can accelerate your results to achieve break even in 30 days or job-dropping income in 90 days or less. http://budurl.com/RITraining Follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/imsross

Illinois for Sarah Palin
This group is intended for the discussion and sharing of our admiration for former Alaskan Governor and VP Candidate from 2008, Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin has electrified America and has enraged her opposition. Her opposition is also our opposition. With so many radical ideas coming from both sides of the political spectrum, I believe that Sarah Palin has what it takes to re-introduce the country to conservative values through common-sense approaches and small steps by ramping up our domestic resources for energy and decreasing our dependence on foreign sources, endorsing tax cuts to small business owners to create jobs, to explore lowering the cost of higher education so that many Americans can take advantage of many jobs needed to be filled in services, health care, and IT industries. She has the youth and the energy to take this country - which is already far too reliant on government - and move that back into the right place through the eyes of grassroots and common sense supporters like us. All are welcome! Men, women, black, white, hispanic, gay, straight, Republican, or Democrat. Together, let's make conservatism the "big tent" and tell establishment Republicans and radical Democrats that we are taking this country back! We need energy innovation and ideas to network and to grow.

Midwest Civil Action
The election ended in November of 2008 and I realize my help is still needed. One man can not fix the many social ills of our society. We, as a people, have to be active in our communities. We need to decide what issues need our collective support.

Chicago Lesbian Women of Color
This group is designed to bring lesbian women of color together for fun and entertaining social activities. Theater outings, museums, concerts, dinner parties, comedy shows, and forming a bowling league are just some of the things we have planned for 2009. The list of planned activities is not limited to those outlined above; we are also open to recommendations from our members to encourage a dynamic social experience. Our goal is to appeal to professionals in their 20’s and 30’s who are looking to meet women with similar interests. And although we are not opposed to our members finding love, we are a social group connecting both couples and single lesbian women on a platonic level. We look forward to meeting you soon!

IL Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility & Politics
I am fed up with not only the national but also the local government in Chicago. The parking situation downtown, deals being made with closed doors......citizens should get a vote on these things b/c we cannot trust our politicians to make the right decisions for us. We need to form a group to show our strength and be present for all kind of Chicago subjects like: Citizens being on the hook or tax overruns for the Olympics....we need to be picketing this and demonstrating for this immediately! We should not be signing this document. Mark Kirk voting for Cap & Trade: he needs to know that citizens are not happy about him signing this bill. He is not fit for the U. S. Senate if he feels everyone needs a huge tax hike. Quinn trying to raise taxes: people need to protest against all the taxes...regardless of social programs needed. Who is going to speak loudly for the taxpayers. The special interest groups are always whining about losing their funding...what about us? Court Decisions (cop who gets probation for beating girl--judge should be prosecuted) Parental responsibility for violence between kids in shootings . If there is to be a march it should be for parental responsibility---not more money for more social programs that cost taxpayer and do NOT work!

Chicago Page Flow
The topic of page flow and mechanics is relatively new. Companies like Zynga manage to convert people such that they can massively spend on ads and then see 10x returns. Pincus talks about "page flow" and "golden mechanics." There are relatively few blog posts and books on this subject, apart from "Persuasion" and a few others, but most of them are not web-app focused. The purpose of this group is to share and discuss psychological, visual, and mechanical strategies for engaging and retaining customers on the web. You should join if you are a ux designer, developer or analyst and you have spent at least a year actively measuring and attempting to improve page flow on a web app. Meetups will be small, highly interactive, and loosely organized.

Adoptive Parents Gathering Place
This group is for families who suffer from infertility and have adopted children or who are seeking adoption. As an adoptive parent myself, I decided to start this group as a way for adoptive parents (or those seeking adoption) to share their story, provide support, information and education to others in the same situation. I also have access to educational information that I can share with the group about how to talk to your child about adoption at various stages of life. But, just as important, this group is for families who just want to have fun, meet up for playdates or are just looking for a cool social outlet!

The Chicago Area New Teachers Seeking Transformation
Did you start teaching in the last three years? Are you passionate about your vocation? Do you strive to be idealistic and bold in your classroom? Do you feel like education should be more than grades and test prep? Do you feel like you're constantly fighting the system in your attempts to transform your students' lives? I am an experienced teacher who has decided to start a group for new teachers to get together and share their frustrations and successes. Every year of my career, I've seen new teachers get overwhelmed by the expectations of teaching and the limited guidance they receive. My vision for this group is to support new teachers through this difficult period, to challenge these teachers to grow and transform themselves, and to explore as a group the meaning of this profound and sacred calling. Groups starting in the city and the suburbs. Once we have enough members, we will hold a ten-week session with bi-weekly meetings lasting 1 1/2 hours. Cost to you: $10 per session.
