However, another thing to consider.
This is an organization which is intended for personal, public participation. However, the three of us don't go to rallies, yet we place much of the commentary on this board.
What sort of a public internet face do we put on the people who faithfully go to rallies but don't post much or not at all? What effect do we have on people who read our words? Do we help the cause, or do we hinder it by offending people who don't know what the organization is about? Do we give the opposition ammunition to use against the organization?
Think about it, please.

We are a non-profit. As such, we are a support group. We would be very inconsistent with that if we limited our forum and organization to those who only help us . We also need feedback from the constituency to guide us. this is the difference between a PAC or other type of organization that demands action from everyone to service their cause. Our job is to inspire people to action, not belittle them into it. Of course nobody likes a continuous monday morning quarterbacker who does nothing else, but mostly those types get repudiated or dismissed by the participating body here anyway.
