			[9:08pm] jokeefe: James O’Keefe, Somerville
			[9:08pm] jokeefe: ahoy malt
			[9:09pm] jokeefe: anything to add/change?
			[9:10pm] Pirate_Joe: Aye, but for next week's agenda.
			[9:10pm] Pirate_Joe: May I present it to you at the end?
			[9:10pm] jokeefe: sure
			[9:10pm] jokeefe: Decisions/Endorsements
			[9:11pm] jokeefe: Restore the 4th and several other groups found out that the FBI has been watching them.
			[9:12pm] jokeefe: Someone filed a FOIA with them asking for documents they had on various groups
			[9:12pm] malt: norhing to add
			[9:12pm] malt: that's fucking wild!
			[9:13pm] jokeefe: initially they said they nothing, but the person filed an appeal
			[9:13pm] jokeefe: the appeal came back with a few orgs with a “cannot confirm or deny we have docs”
			[9:14pm] jokeefe: including Restore the 4th
			[9:14pm] igel_: This cycle, we’re analyzing candidates’ track records and statements with respect to seven factors: (a) NSA surveillance; (b) FBI surveillance of domestic dissent; (c) DHS border surveillance; (d) police accountability; (e) commercial privacy and online publisher liability; (f) encryption; and (g) attitude to national security whistleblowers.
			[9:14pm] igel_: via https://restorethe4th.com/
			[9:14pm] igel_: A / A- : Tulsi Gabbard : Bernie Sanders : Elizabeth Warren
			[9:14pm] igel_: B+ / B / B- : Beto O’Rourke : Cory Booker : Kamala Harris
			[9:14pm] igel_: C+ / C / C- : Julian Castro : Pete Buttigieg : Andrew Yang
			[9:14pm] igel_: D / D- : Amy Klobuchar : Joe Biden
			[9:15pm] igel_: Unclassified: Tom Steyer
			[9:15pm] malt: gabbard gets an A? huh.
			[9:16pm] igel_: arguments: https://restorethe4th.com/how-the-2020-presidential-candidates-stack-up-on-the-surveillance-state/#Tulsi-Gabbard
			[9:16pm] igel_: > She strongly supported the protesters at Standing Rock, and has argued for substantial demilitarization of the police
			[9:17pm] jokeefe: anyhow they are writing a letter objecting to being spied on since they are exercising their constitutional rights
			[9:17pm] jokeefe: and are looking for groups to sign on
			[9:18pm] malt: we should deffo sign on
			[9:18pm] malt: could we setup an automated script to help other groups FOIA request their own information?
			[9:18pm] malt: to get an idea of how widespread this is?
			[9:19pm] jokeefe: there were over 100 orgs. only about 8 did not receive a “we don’t have any docs” answer, but that is a good idea
			[9:20pm] jokeefe: do others agree we should sign on?
			[9:20pm] Pirate_Joe: Aye, I am curious if we made the list.
			[9:21pm] jokeefe: we weren’t on the list
			[9:21pm] jokeefe: but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t have our own request
			[9:26pm] jokeefe: I can ask about it
			[9:27pm] jokeefe: so we are in agreement to sign on ot the letter, and we should atleast file our own FOIA
			[9:28pm] Pirate_Joe: Restore the fourth is in line with our commitment to individual's right to privacy, I think it is wise we show our solidarity with them.
			[9:28pm] jokeefe: Amazon Ring Local PD partnerships
			[9:28pm] jokeefe: It looks like a bunch of police departments have agreements with Amazon Ring
			[9:29pm] jokeefe: Including Westfield, Malden and Haverhill
			[9:30pm] igel_: id prefer more cameras aimed at police
			[9:31pm] malt: that's fun and not orwellian at all
			[9:31pm] malt: i;ve considered asking worcester to make public any discussion on that front but i've not really had a moment to write the appeal
			[9:31pm] jokeefe: that would be good.
			[9:32pm] malt: can we find the language other towns are using to pass bans
			[9:32pm] malt: and put it on the blog as a template?
			[9:33pm] Pirate_Joe: And send to SAB and Activist lists?
			[9:33pm] jokeefe: The ACLU has a template, I believe
			[9:34pm] jokeefe: I’ll find the list of towns
			[9:36pm] jokeefe: Post a statement?
			[9:36pm] malt: thanks!
			[9:36pm] malt: sure
			[9:36pm] Pirate_Joe: Please
			[9:36pm] malt: on the dangers of the hardware and software?
			[9:36pm] malt: I'll write it
			[9:37pm] Pirate_Joe: <3 Malt
			[9:37pm] jokeefe: thanks malt
			[9:37pm] jokeefe: Here is the map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1eYVDPh5itXq5acDT9b0BVeQwmESBa4cB&ll=42.64840642144983%2C-71.26610624563597&z=8
			[9:38pm] jokeefe: Next Statement on War on Iran?
			[9:39pm] jokeefe: (potential)
			[9:39pm] Pirate_Joe: Looks like both sides are trying to deescalate
			[9:39pm] malt: hope soooooo
			[9:39pm] jokeefe: hopefully
			[9:39pm] jokeefe: National is talking about issuing a statement
			[9:39pm] Pirate_Joe: The fired missiles that didn't go off for the most part.
			[9:39pm] jokeefe: could just sign on to it
			[9:40pm] Pirate_Joe: They*
			[9:40pm] Pirate_Joe: Seems like both sides are trying to save face tbh
			[9:41pm] Pirate_Joe: There have been additional attacks but it does not look like it's directly from Iran
			[9:44pm] jokeefe: so wait for National?
			[9:44pm] Pirate_Joe: that is tonight, correct?
			[9:45pm] jokeefe: no next wednesday
			[9:46pm] Pirate_Joe: By then we could be left in the dust. I move to tweet out something quick and in support of those whom have been hurt and killed in all attacks by all parties.
			[9:47pm] Pirate_Joe: Including the plane shot down over Iran
			[9:48pm] Pirate_Joe: https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/63-canadians-dead-iran-plane-crash-68141823
			[9:49pm] malt: write one up? i doubt anyone would object
			[9:49pm] jokeefe: Could have been a mechanical failure. too early to tell
			[9:49pm] Pirate_Joe: I would be happy to send out a tweet tonight if you all agree.
			[9:49pm] jokeefe: Seems strange they would shoot down an airliner that was purposefully traveling in their airspace from their air port
			[9:50pm] jokeefe: Trying to move away from just tweeting. Could you post it on the blog?
			[9:51pm] Pirate_Joe: On the mass pirate page?
			[9:51pm] jokeefe: yes
			[9:54pm] jokeefe: or you can send it to the list for comment.
			[9:56pm] Pirate_Joe: I prefer to send to the list first, for corrections
			[9:56pm] jokeefe: thanks
			[9:56pm] Pirate_Joe: That and I do not think I ever accessed the blog on our page either
			[9:56pm] jokeefe: The next two items can wait until next week.
			[9:57pm] jokeefe: since they aren’t pressing
			[9:57pm] jokeefe: Regional Meetings/Events
			[9:57pm] jokeefe: Malt did you get a chance to look for a new location for the Worcester meetup?
			[9:58pm] malt: was gonna check with a brewery called Revolution Pie & Pint
			[9:58pm] jokeefe: got food?
			[9:58pm] jokeefe: nevermind
			[9:59pm] jokeefe: see the Pie
			[9:59pm] jokeefe: sounds good
			[9:59pm] malt: and beer!
