With our chances to win the nomination looking not so good, many Meetup organizers may decide that it's not worth another $78 to renew for another 6 months. For every one that drops out, we will loose, on average, 50 supporters. Every month, for the next six months roughly 250 Meetups will get that renewal notice. Some will renew - some will not. When a organizer fails to renew, Meetup sends out a notice to the remaining members offering them the position of organizer for 2 weeks, and if there are no bites - the Meetup goes away.
We need volunteer organizers to stem this tide. When an organizer gets a Meetup, you really get 3 for the price of one, and like the early seeder program, if you have less than 3, we would like you to adopt some of these Meetups that are going into oblivion - at least long enough to find a new organizer or direct members to other resources where they can stay in the loop till we find a more permanent solution.
We need volunteers to join these Meetups and work them - explaining to the members that while we still have a chance at the nomination, other goals are just as important. Things like changing the party platform and rules, having a good delegate showing to establish viability of our message and gain media attention. The transformation of our campaign into a long term movement and electing our candidates to Congress and other positions (we have around 50 ppl running for office - it's not just about Dr. Paul).
While we will be looking at different projects and sites to send people to in the future, we suggest you send supporters to the 2 main web sites: RonPaulForums.com and DailyPaul.com as well as the per-state forums on Facebook, MySpace and Yahoo for now - as a stop gap measure. That way we will know where to find them and direct them further when we are more organized. Many of these supporters ar not connected to the movement beyond Meetup and we need people where to go to stay involved - even if you do not adopt their Meetup temporarily or permanently.
If you are a Meetup organizer, the 3 organizer groups, representing over 1/4 of the organizers have merged via a bridge. If you don't belong to ONE of these, please join!

If you want to be an organizer and are willing to cover the fees, look for an expiring Meetup close to you, join it and accept the organizer position - then join the network.
Remember, one person that does not want to pay the fees can cut off on average 50 supporters - some of which will be into the movement for the long term.
These are the Meetups in danger of going away in the next 2 weeks (44 of them), that need adoption or at least someone to join and work them:
