Saturday Morning in America first started in Philadelphia, PA.
Janet and Jenny met at an event hosted by conservative talk show host Bill Bennett ("Morning In America"). They decided to get together for coffee and to talk politics.
Janet called the show to tell Dr. Bennett that the event had been wonderful and that she had made a new friend (Jenny). Janet said they planned to meet the next Saturday and invited anyone else who wanted to do so to join them. A number of us called the show saying that we wanted to join them for coffee and discussion.
So on Saturday August 25, 2007, about 20 of us met at a local diner for breakfast and bonding. We decided to meet once a month and call ourselves "Saturday Morning In America." Thus SMIA was born.
We now have 22 chapters all across the country. Most chapters meet the second Saturday of the month. Some meet for breakfast at a local eatery, some meet at the home of an SMIA member, but all of us meet to have fun, discuss political news and to find out what we can do to help those who, like us, consider ourselves Conservative.
