Guest Post by Jason Baird
Hello everybody. First, let me thank Munguin, the Republic
and Tris for very kindly allowing National YES Registry the opportunity
of this 'guest post'. It's greatly appreciated. [Note from Munguin: You're welcome, Jason.]
For those that have not yet heard of the National YES
Registry project, our aim is simple. To build a collectively owned,
mutually supportive, practical campaigning network from the existing grass-root
activist groups still active across the country. We have been collecting
members since just after the NO vote and already have 70 groups on the
Registry.
Before you hopefully watch our film or visit our website
to read the more detailed articles on the specifics of
the project, please keep in mind that these are just our proposals and are
being put forward as a starting point from which the group membership can
build, adapt, develop and bring their own ideas to the table. The 'collective'
element of this project is absolutely central and built into its very
structure.
We are, therefore, desperately trying to get our film (trailer above) seen and message spread as widely as possible among that enormous audience keen
to help the grass-root movement grow, develop and succeed.
It would be
great if the readers of Munguin's Republic could take the time to view our
project and assess our strategic goals. Then, if you like what we are trying to
achieve, any contribution you could give us, or help in the task of spreading
the word about the National YES Registry project and our crowd fund deadline
would be greatly appreciated.
The full film is here.
As spreading the word about the YES Registry is becoming
critical, I will also be doing another interview with Independence Live tomorrow night (linked here) (Thursday the 30th) at 7pm. So if anybody has any questions
that they would like to ask about the project then please just submit them
during the webcast and I will be happy to try and answer them while live on
air. This will be a follow up to my previous interview with IndependenceLive alongside Ivan McKee (YES
Registry from 13:09) so it would be great if you could join us.
Many thanks for taking the time to consider our project and
if you find yourself in support, please spread the word, tweet, link and
personally recommend our Indiegogo page as it has the full film showing on it
as well as a full explanation of the project and links to both our website and
Facebook page.
We are currently less than 4 days away from our Indiegogo crowd funding campaign deadline (11:59pm Sat the 1st August) and as yet only 37% funded. Hopefully, with your help, we can reach our goal by Saturday and
save us having to pay the extra 5% in fees for missing the target.
