[pp.int.general] First 'official' US party

[Kenneth Peiruza]

IMO, small-scaled Pirate Parties are easier to build and to grow up ( if
the  law let's you register a party easily).

PP-SE was the ignition spark, in a mid-small populated country (by
European standards), after that beginning, we only have one Pirate Party
referent in a big country: PP-DE, which works amazingly well. There has
been no other strongly rooted pirate party in any other big country.

On the other hand, PP-CZ and PP-CH do even have representatives, and
they are working really fine, with lesser infrastructure than PP-SE/DE
and PP-Austria and Finland do also have an amazing social rooting. So,
Pirate Parties from small countries are usually more successful.

Most members of PP-ES in Catalonia chosen this strategy last summer.
Creating a party in Spain just requires 3 people, around 180 € and some
weeks waiting. We became official last 4th of October.

In 6 months PP-Cat achieved 70 members per million (MPM), whilst we had
only 4 MPM before (in 4 years).

Despite the fact that we belong to the Internet age, probably we do
still organize better in front of a tea/beer.
