An Explosion of Interest in a Commission for Men

warble writes "NCFM, LA completed a tabling project on Tuesday November 5th. The objective of the project was to obtain signed letters in support of a Commission for Men in Los Angeles County. Our goal is to obtain over 100 signed letters before November 19th. Currently, we have about 50-signed letters in support of the commission." See the Read More section below for more info. Congratulations to this group - we look forward to seeing the outcome of your efforts!The objective of the letters is to place additional pressure in addition to our suit against the L.A. Board of Supervisors. When we tabled, we were outside of the main courthouse on the sidewalk. We initially thought that it would be hard to obtain the signatures and create interest in men’s issues. To our surprise we found it difficult for the two of us to manage the interest! We found that many potential contacts were missed because we were so overwhelmed with educating the public as fast as possible while moving on to the next person. You can bet the police were patrolling and watching is very closely. They made several passes but left us alone.

Due to the success of the response, we now believe that tabling is a key tool of our grassroots effort to expand interest in men’s issues. It is amazing how many men commented that they had heard of our work with AB2240. There were people from all walks of life expressing interest in our activism. We literally had attorneys, doctors, laborers, and others taking our flyers, reading them, and coming back with the comment, “now this is an organization that I can support!”

Because of this effort and other efforts in increasing our membership we are finding that we should be able to double the size of NCFM, LA in the next couple of months. That means that our influence will double and that we will be able to increase the chances for success. The sense that we are getting is that there is an explosion of interest in a strong men’s rights group. The interest is so strong that it is difficult to manage it. That is a great problem to have. Clearly, the public is fed up with the radical feminists and their lies. They are actively looking for solutions. It is now obvious that men’s issues will move forward because of the shear justice of the cause.
