Rainbow Gathering petition

all i know is,if gas hits 4 dollars a gallon like they say,, gonna be a lot of family stayin home."rainbow warriors", an high holies,included...

 

all this talk of this state is worse than the other is a bit funny to me. try living in louisiana, lmao! as far as i know there has never been a gathering here, someone send me a heads up if i'm wrong. not many rainbow peeps here either, though we do have lots of prippies aka abercrombie hippies.

to split the gathering in some ways would make a bit of sense to split the efforts of the leo's, but it will also effectively split the forces of the family. something they would love to see happen. i think early, pre-gathering education and communication with locals where ever we end up would be a much better solution. the money that is pumped into the local economy of these rural areas is incentive enough for them. if the locals are more involved it will make it harder for leo's to cause problems, because locals don't leave. also having more media attention from rainbow friendly sources would make it much harder for them to cause problems for us. many of the citations given out each year have no legal standing, since the laws they say that are broken don't exist. for starters it is legal to camp in national forests with some restrictions as to how long you can stay before you have to move your camp and how far you must move it and there are also no regulations concerning nudity in national forests, national parks are a different animal. the kangaroo court system got choked hard last year in CO due to many rainbows going out of their way to get tickets.

media attention will also help in some ways, but it's to find those not on the guvmint team. rainbow family isn't as primitive and poor as it used to be. we have the technology and the ninjas to get daily media reports out to the public and posted online and sent to the media. a volunteer ninja crew to follow the leo's armed with video cameras to record their wrong doing will do lots to help our cause. there will be many of us at home that can't attend, but would be more than happy to blast our daily report all over the net and to most of the media.

 

All those that are paranoid about Texas need to remember that the true heat will come from the feds not the locals this year. That will be the case regardless of the state it's held in.
I say this because of the raod block incident last year in CO. Actually makes this a better year than most for Texas. Heat is unavoidable this year so might as well get Texas checked of our list.

 

That's a nice concept =]
And if its in Texas, more chance I can be there.

 

I've only been to one gathering, so I don't consider my self some rainbow know it all, BUT I do know that if you go to a gathering there is none of the negitivity found here.

The gathering will occur wherever it needs to be,
I highly doubt many rainbows constantly check the internet to get tips on where to set up, they are out there RIGHT NOW, looking for a great spot for us, I am thankful for that, cause i can't be doing that right now.

Any ways lets try and stay positive.

see you all at the Nationals this year, find me and I'll play you a song, or five...

 

actually there is quite a bit of negativity at gatherings. negativity is just part of this world and even happy go lucky rainbow folk have it to

 

I vote for ALASKA....think it would be a fine ole spot for the nationals....or back to my stomping grounds....home of the '87 gathering: Smoky Mountains in western NC. Some of us had a touch of the upset belly that year but other than that it was a blast.
Anyway.....I'll go where the gathering goes....just wanted to throw my two cents in for Alaska!
