I have a basic understanding of the separation of church and state, and I am a huge advocate. It's why I joined ffrf. I think people should be free to be religious or not. I get why church/state…Continue

Comment by Dan Czech on May 30, 2012 at 11:58pm: Hi, everyone! Just thought I'd introduce myself. I haven't actually been to any meetings or anything, but hopefully I'll be there on Sunday (does anyone know how long it usually goes? I might have to work in the afternoon). Pleasure to meet you all :)

Except you, Eric :P

Comment by Mark Michicich on May 21, 2012 at 5:24pm: Hi Angela. I know what you mean. It seems that you still need to find the actual comment by searching the wall.

I've reposted the link to the Reason Rally photos below:

Comment by Angela M. on May 20, 2012 at 4:58pm: Can someone help me navigate this group? I get email notifications, and I received one shortly after the Reason Rally that told me Mark had posted pix from the rally, but when I click on the link in my email that suposedly leads me to the pix, it just brings me to this main SWiFT page. From here, where can I find stuff like this when the email links don't go directly to anything?

Comment by Troy Gorsline on April 27, 2012 at 2:19pm: I am planning on attending. There was some talk on going as a group, but it didn't really get planned (stupid work taking me away from fun).

Hope to see you!

Comment by A3Kr0n on April 27, 2012 at 12:09pm: Anybody going to the Reason Rally tomorrow in Madison?

hashtag is #ftf1
