What's the best way to keep members active in the local chapters

[snippy]

We wanted to start a group in an effort to easily communicate with
each other on a regluar basis. We are aware many of us are busy with
work and home but have a strong desire to do our part in taking back
our country. It is our hope that the ability to mass email and provide
a blog and a google group will afford us a better way to keep everyone
informed and involved.

Please post your ideas for facilitating communication as we prepare to
strike out locally and across the U.S. to address issues of
sovereignty, liberty, freedom and saving our Republic.
