The American's Creed
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

What a great idea. I would be in. Hopefully we could move outside the echo chamber of other PF bloggers and figure out how to reach more regular people.
December 8th, 2006 at 12:44 pm
Yeah, we should have chapters and a legislative groups to promote the use of personal finance to our government. That would be a great idea.
December 8th, 2006 at 12:48 pm
In order for us to stay anonymous, we’d have to wear ski masks.
That would be awesome.
December 8th, 2006 at 12:51 pm
That’s a good idea… I’d consider going (as long as I could budget for it)
December 8th, 2006 at 12:57 pm
Him,
LOL! You’re a nut! Imagine that though. 300+ bloggers in ski masks…
December 8th, 2006 at 1:09 pm
I’ve been thinking about this a LOT. In fact, I’d be willing to help organize one if there were sufficient interest.
December 8th, 2006 at 1:37 pm
Great idea! I agree with Ramit – it’d be a great way to strategize about attracting general readers. I noticed the other day that since I stareted blogging about 6 months ago, the number of sites on PFBlogs.org has probably tripled, yet I wonder how we’re doing with reaching a general audience.
December 8th, 2006 at 2:22 pm
I suggested this (a conference) to a few people several months ago, but no one responded. :>
December 8th, 2006 at 7:16 pm
I’d be glad to help organize this as well.
December 9th, 2006 at 11:55 am
Count me in as well!
December 9th, 2006 at 2:50 pm
Um yes! Have it in Vegas. In March.
December 10th, 2006 at 11:28 am
300 people in ski masks in Vegas in March…hmm…sounds interesting.
December 10th, 2006 at 11:38 am
Count me in!!

A bloggers convention! How brilliant. Where could this be? Do the majority of us live in some corner of the US? If any bloggers located around New York City ever want to do lunch, let me know.
December 10th, 2006 at 1:15 pm
There are a group of us who have been friends on the Rich Dad forums for years, so last year, I helped organize a meeting for all of us here in Phx. It was a blast!
I would also be willing to help set something up- JLP- maybe you can make this a HQ for the event and we can gibe it a name, set a date and place and get the ball rolling?
(Instead of t-shirts we can have ski masks as give aways lol)

I think it’d be a lot of fun…
