Apparently there is no meeting since there is no LOCATION. I'm afraid this is a ploy to have 6607 willing participants fail to find a place to participate. Is this a ploy? Have we been waylaid? What a shame...

Does anybody know where the Atlanta area folks are meeting? If there is more than one Atlanta location, I need the one nearest west Gwinnett County.

I enjoyed the special.On my own tv,in my room.I could not find anyone interested in Atlantic City NJ.I wasn't about to invite my drunken neighbor.He always talks over my tv.Then again,Atlantic City is not exactly a paragon of cosmopolitan,and besides,its full of Obama supporters

I really enjoyed this. I will try to watch again on Saturday and get the neighbors to watch. That last segment Glenn did about the guy who turned his life around and joined the army and died a hero was very moving. I look forward to the next meeting on 9/12. Great job. Thanks Glenn and everyone.

This was encouraging and a good turn out for my area and time;
And for those of you whining that you couldn't find a meet-up, shame on you for not organizing it yourself! That's what's wrong with this country. STEP UP! TAKE INITIATIVE! It was YOUR loss for not moving to get what you want!

I understand that Megan had 65 RSVP's and the room was so full that it felt like everyone came! It's just a shame that those who wrote in to say it wasn't organized didn't take the initiative and put something together themselves. I enjoyed Glenn's program and look forward to participating in "the912project.com".

Our meeting in Elizabeth PA was great. I feel it really hit home with people. Our folks stayed after the program and talked about how their lives are being affected by what is going on. What I found heartwarming was the fact that total strangers talked about common goals.

Our meeting in Chattanooga, TN was wonderful. There were some great folks there who truly love this nation and were thrilled to come together with other like-minded (and like-hearted) folks.

We meant in Mentor Ohio and thought it was a small group, I believe this is how the grassroots began and I con see this growing.
It is important that like minded people bond together and share the direction and inspiration we need in this very difficult time.
We need to support our fundamental principles . Help to grow strong and gain back the goverment that we so freely gave away.
WE THE PEOPLE! Good Job Joe. and Mostly THANK YOU GLENN !Posted March 13, 2009 at 9:08 PM -

This was great!! There were probably 150 people at one of the 8 locations that I know of sponsoring this in our area alone. Thank you Glenn and those locally who worked hard to get everyone together.

Over four hundred of us were outside of the Fox News studios in Manhattan, within sight of two viewing screens and plenty of loudspeakers. I met people from Texas, Kentucky, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York and I wouldn't be surprised if other states were represented as well. I'll be uploading pics soon. It was great to have casual conversations with so many people who shared the same views about this country, and who appreciate what Glenn has done in bringing us all together!

We had a great mix of like minded people here in Lebanon, PA. I am guessing about 40 or more people were in attendence. I am anxious to see where we go next.

I was honored to be a part of this meeting. Like the Patriots of old, we met in our taverns and homes to gather with like-minded people who love their country! To stand together in one voice and say, "We will not let our freedom go" and if the government will not respect the Constitution of the United States and the will of the people.........We then will stand up and pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor for the protection of Divine Providence! United We Stand, Let's role!

harold cohen+1 guestIt was great meeting like minded people and learning that we were truly not alone. The only problem I had was with the site. It was cumbersome to mfind the threads you were following, but it was not an insurmountable problem. Could be because of the size of the group.
-
Hope JohnsonThe Viewing Party setup was a bit confusing; I was initially set up for New York area and I am in Georgia. I went and changed that but the concept was a bit vauge. I was really looking for at least a minimal guideline on what we could do locally. We would like for Glenn to have this more than twice a year, though.
-
-
Angie McclanahanWe had great food and fellowship. Would've liked for Glenn's show to be a little more inspiring. I guess I had just seen lots of those guests on his show before. One of the people who came asked what the purpose of it all was, so I'm not sure we felt like we got anything accomplished (YET). But we're planning to work on reading the books and getting together to discuss them and coming together again on 9/12.
-
-
Skip WilliamsIt wasn't as informative on WHAT we could be doing to make a change and a difference as I had hoped it would be. Plus, only about 6 of the 30 people that I invited showed up, so that was dissapointing.
-
Kim HawleyIt was great seeing others come out to support our Constitution and the values of our fore fathers. I would have liked some more specific direction or tasks to work on from Glenn, because I think we will end up with a lot of spin off groups/actions where none can gain traction.
-
Nancy BrooksIt was just family. We all work so we recorded it and watched it later so we missed the on-line part. I don't get to watch the TV show very much. I think the radio has much more of an impact on me personally. I like seeing the people in person and I am glad I knew who they were (from listening to the radio). The other 2 viewers do not listen to the radio show, so there were questions about who the people were & why they were on. I am glad we recorded it so we could stop & explain. Keep it up I personally need this motivation. Thank you.

Annie Ransom+3 guestsThere were alot of passionate people at this meetup and we met some great people with the same thoughts and ideas as we have. I would love to do this on a monthly basis. The people who sponsored our party at Ed's Tavern in Charlotte NC were great hosts. There were many thunderous rounds of applause for Glen and his ideas as well as his ability to help us all come together. Annie Ransom Charlotte NC

Jim CampbellThis was a great evening, surrounded by people that feel the same as my wife and I. Joe Cope did a great job getting things organized. We look forward to more meetings and a chance to make a change. Jim Campbell

sandra davidsonA moving moment for all of us who were mostly strangers but now friends. We made plans to be a support group and to start monethly get togethers. We plan to become active in our local political group to push for conservatism and values, to become more active in our community and our churches and to prepare for the worst and pray for the best for our country. We tried to stay focused in our thoughts without getting off on tangents. We did not want our efforts to die from too much bureaucracy by forming a group. We want to pattern our goals off the Jews who hid in the woods during WWII by the brothers.
-
Wendi PowersMy husband and I were thrilled to attend and enjoyed meeting some very nice people who care about our country as much as we do. Everything was well organized and we felt welcome. I am always touched by Glenn Beck and thoroughly enjoy listening to him. I am a little disappointed, however, as I had hoped to leave the meeting with my "marching orders". I was hoping for more direction. I know this will come and look forward to getting involved with our local group. Many thanks.
-
Kristine Smith+3 guestsNot exactly sure about the number that attendend but i know we shut down the bar/grille's capacity. In fact we were 15 minutes early and they weren't going to let us in...but we begged. It was great, i hope that for the next thing like this we can get something closer to home.
-
Elaine+2 guestsI thought the enthusiasm was contagious! This confirms my belief that people are willing to take a stand for their country and what they believe in as an American. I will remain firm in my commitment to uphold the standards of the constitution of the United States of America. I will keep my family and friends informed of current events and news, and encourage them to participate in government issues.
-
James BowmanThe manager, not being too sure what to do with us, not withstanding the event was AWESOME! Everyone I met made me feel like an old friend. I cannot express how much this event has meant to me.
-
LHKmom+1 guestthere were only three groups that attended our meetup. Many called and were curious about it but very few made it due to Atlanta traffic on Friday Afternoon.
-
Erin RThe people came to the table with constructive ideas and thoughts. I expected it to simply be the opportunity to vent but instead found people who were willing to offer ideas and take action.

Ruth CarlsonGreat to know "I'm not alone." Others are worried about our government taking our freedoms too!

Harry/Janice BarrettHarry and I were blessed and fortuate to be a part of the crowd outside Glenn Beck 's studio in NYC... IT WAS GREAT!!! We enjoyed every minute!!! We were on camera twice- just for a split second - but AGAIN- this was very exciting and wonderful time that we won't forget.....
-
BarbWonderful group of like minded great American citizens. We have started a group on yahoo called the912projectpa group. Hope if you are in Pennsylvania you will get in and join us. I will soon be moving to Oxford PA and wonder if anyone down there wants to start a reading group. I have ordered 10 of "The 5000 year Leap" and would like to start with that.
thanks for the service on Meet UP... wonderful

Billy KnorppGreat idea that Glenn Beck has. I believe it is exactly right. The people who believe the principles that he portrayed are in the majority.
-
Dennis KefalasOur numbers may have been small, but we were thrilled by the response and the enthusiasm of the American people. We are proud of our service men, as we know that you are Glenn. We felt your emotion and tears, as though they were our own. We will take back our country, one politician at a time and one problem at a time. God Bless Our Country and Its people, to accomplish our goals.

Sylvia TorresTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Glenn Beck and all who help to get this program together!!! It is so woderful to know we are not alone!!. We Love the Glenn Beck show. He is our hero, he gives us hope we know there are still people who believe in doing the right thing. Times they are bad ,and we need to stick together. We have our families and our values and our love of god and country and they can't take that from us...... Sylvia Alex and Laura in Texas

John CarlsonKept waiting for a location, in central IL. Didn't get anything but constant emails-100s & 100s of them-clogging my computer. Finally ,I guess one said it was canceled, but no downstate location stated. maybe next time.

Trish RichardsIt was nice to feel that you were not alone. It was educational somewhat also. We learned that the senators and reps do not read anything we send . This came from a young man who worked in Washington I believe as an aide. I just didn't feel that there was a sense of urgency to making plans to try and take our country back and I feel Obama is moving so quickly to change our way of life. But I will continue with the group and help to make plans. Something is better than nothing and I so believe in the movement that I will not give up.
-
Don MessnerAfter watching your show yesterday I have came away with the feeling that even though I am alone in my viewing party I am not alone in how I feel about my country and the direction it is headed in. After your show I know that there are millions of great silent Americans that care and I will promise my life my honor and all I have for my country. Your right "mean what you say and say what you mean." May God Bless you and your family Mr Beck, and thanks for the great show.
-
Steve & Eileen ReederIt was great to meet people that believe as you do, and to think that we can start our own groups in our area is very empowering! Thanks Glenn Beck for giving us the direction now we gotta make it happen all over our country!

-
SusanWonderful to meet new people and let them know they are not alone as the media likes to portray us! There are conservatives out here who care about what our country is becoming! It would have been nice to be able to sit as a group better to exchange ideas. As it was, unless you moved around, you talked mainly with the 3-5 people at your table. The room was a little loud (due to the bar and TV's) after the show so it was sometimes difficult to talk. One tea party idea to share. April 1st send a tea bag in an envelope to The White House/1600 Pennsylvania Ave/Washington, DC 20050. Also send to senators and congressmen. Include a tea bag and if you wish, a "Pink slip" with something like"Next election, you're FIRED!!" on it! Let's flood them with tea!
-
Glenn TiedemannI watched from the beginning through the webcast. My wife got home from work halfway through. We now want to read the biographies and writings of the founders of our great country. I encouraged one neighbor to watch the recast on Saturday since he was on the road then - he said we will talk on Monday. Only three others in all of Morris and Sussex Counties desired a meeting location. I will try to followup with all of them.

-
Lisa KehoeFirst of all I want to Thank Scott and his wife and children for opening up their house to all of us!! They were great! I enjoyed the diverse group of people that showed up. I met new friends and enjoyed discussing what is happening to our country. We discussed how we need to get involved and stay involved to turn things around and get ourselves back on track! We are still a great country and we need to fight for what was already ours in the first place.

Judy AhrensThose that attended to see "We Surround Them" at my home were so happy to join others in what I personally call a historic day. Our hats off to Glenn Beck, a true American patriot who has made us all feel we're not alone in taking back our wonderful country. Thanks for your wonderful team that put this all together. Judy Ahrens, Westminster, California
-
CathyThe turn out was wonderful! More than I expected! The only thing I was disappointed in was that people didn't stick around and meet other people whom they didn't know. Maybe that is best left for a quieter place and for a meeting that is focused on discussion.
