we need to start planning a march on DC
I have seen a documentary on fraudulent politics in The Ivory Coast, and those people were only able to have their voices heard because millions of them gathered in a peaceful march. We all know that no matter how hard we work and no matter how many supporters we gain, we will probably be cheated or manipulated out of both the GOP nomination and the Presidency. To plan a march of millions of people into Washington DC will take time and strategy. Now is definitely not too early to start. We should create a website, choose a date for the march, and get people to sign up to attend in the event we don't win. I am not the most skilled at doing this--we need a marketing expert like Trevor. Trevor is welcome to be the one, but he can't do everything, so if anyone else wants to pipe up I'd love for us to get started on this.
This might be OK..
..so long as there are no V masks worn, or Cindy Sheehan and socialist dictator characters adulated in the process.
This is a great idea!
I would plan it sometime this summer so everyone can make plans to attend! I would go for sure!
REVOLUTION!

How about a Memorial Day march?
This would be a perfect way to honor those who gave their lives for our freedom. During this holiday weekend, there will be many people visiting the graves of deceased military family members in the DC area who will be very receptive to Ron Paul's position on the Iraq War. The march could be planned and coordinated with this in mind.
With 70% of the American public opposed to the war, we should be able to attract at least a million voters to march on Washington DC at this time. The theme could be "Support Our Troops - Vote Ron Paul for President!" to emphasize the fact that Congressman Paul receives more support from active and retired military personnel than any other presidential candidate. He also has the distinction of being the only one committed to bringing our troops home when he becomes President, and not in 5 to 100 years.
Let's call it the "Surge for Liberty"
July 4th is an excellent suggestion. Let's go get our independence back. I'm in 100%! They can't bully and they can't ignore us if we ALL stick together. Keep bumping this post.

March on 4th of July
4th of July - it's the best day.

is the perfect place to plan this. We need to contact whomever is in charge of that site and start the plans. Personally, I like the Bastille Day idea.
Good thought
Thanks for the support of July 14th. I just emailed Greg from ronpaulmarch.com and will update this thread with anything that comes of that.
I was watching a speech of Dr. King...
at the National Mall yesterday and thought the same thing. I wasn't really thinking on the vote manipulation issue, but as a showing that no matter what happens in the primaries and elections that Dr. Paul's message has reached out to us and united us, and we will sit by no longer and let this country be run by a government that no longer cares about freedom and liberty, but only cares about power, control and it's own self interests. If it was planned for the summer and a date picked soon, I think we could get some really huge numbers, I know I would figure out a way to make it.

I'd love to go to DC with a few friends
You guys pick the date. I'll be there.

While we are in capital can we drop off all of the monopoly money we have at the fed! - I'm sure that they must be running out of paper by now!!! 8]
Me too
I second that.
July 4th is an idea day
How could it not be on any other day thean independence day. I have grown up in the DC area, and I agree, it is a mad house. However, what is the point of the march? to not get any attention, to not have may supporters, to not promote our independence? NO!
We are fighting for our independence! These are not just words. Read them again. WE ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR INDEPENDENCE! In crowds all over dc numbering in the 1000's we will be able to recruit supporters. If some one is willing to pack them selves in to DC on the 4th, they may care about their independence too.
We need to March, but not just in July. We need to march as much as possible. We need to BUS people in, We need to start now, and not end then. I admit, I am not the most fluid writer; however, I strongly believe a mass march is vital to our cause.
General path as followes: ASsemble on the park where rt 66 empties into DC. MArch pass the federal reserve, the white house, and end at the capital.
Final thought... I am not french and I do not respect the coutnry of france. The french do not enstill me with vigor or motivate me to take action. So, I do not think "bastille day" is a good day. I am american. Not Republican, not democrat, not libertarian, not independent. I am an american, and I already have an independence day. July 4th. Independence day. Let us make it happen.
I get what you're saying
Really I do, and I'm not french either. I'm also not british, and we fought for our very independence from them, but Nov. 5th was chosen and folks rallied because of the idea of 11/5, not because of Guy Fawkes or their feelings about parliament.
That's why I thought about and am promoting Bastille Day - because it's time we independent and loyal Americans took back our power in the same kind of demonstration. Not in tribute to france, but as a way to show the folks in DC the resolve of the freedom r3VOLution.
With all due respect, we will be lost on 7/4 between the thousands of fireworks watchers, concert goers, and staged events like the reading of the Declaration in front of the Archives (do they still do that?) If we got any media coverage I'm guessing we'd hear spin about how a few of us were there to march and most were just there already for other events.
I'm willing to pick a different date if someone has a better one, but I sincerely believe July 4, despite the natural attraction it holds, is not the best.
November 5th
Was chosen because of V for Vendetta, not because it was Guy Fawkes day.
July 4th will be tough, but significant.
no, they will be lost among us
we will be the majority

roe v wade
there is gong to be a march in dc coming up. Any on ein the area to pass out rpon paul lit to both sides?
aye
i'd go, only 5 hours from DC..
would it be on a saturday?
"we fear change, especially nickels"
also i like
july 14th, gives plenty of time to plan and by then we'll know Dr. Paul's intentions and the two main party nominees
"we fear change, especially nickels"
Nope
July 14th is a Monday. I realize it means taking time off work for many of those marching, but it also means that many in Gov't offices and buildings like the Fed will be at work and can see all 12 of us spammers march by. ;-)
Can't think of a better way to spend a couple vacation days -- making this kind of statement to the folks in DC and the corp. media while also meeting up with so many other lovers of liberty.
Maybe we can get the Limo to lead the march, and of course the blimp if it's still flying then!
I'm In
Count me in

Dates
Nov. 5th is the day after the general election, is close to the holidays and more difficult for folks to budget in terms of time off and travel expenditures. I like the symbolic idea, and that's why I am promoting July 14th, Bastille Day, the date the French stormed the Bastille to launch the French revolution.
Since summer in DC is warm and it isn't Nov. 5, instead of "V" outfits, maybe we should all get t-shirts that say "I am Ron Paul".
What do you think? Can somebody please have Trevor or anyone who can help me get www.thisjuly14th.com launched send me email, either through my DailyPaul account or at the address indicated in the post below?
We've got 6 whole months from today - Let's Make This Happen!!!
I think a march is in order
I think a march is in order ESPECIALLY if and when Ron Paul becomes the next president!
The country needs to know that there is a force united us across all boundaries and lines and divisions that the old Establishment has perpetuated in order to conquer us. We need a show of support on the largest scale possible!
Aaron Russo once had a vision that millions of freedom fighters would just one day decide to shut down and not go to work or whatever and gather in largest groups possible and just make the statement saying "We're here! We know what's going on and we're not going to take it anymore!!! Won't you join us?"
How about Nov. 5th. . .;-)
WE ARE THE RON PAUL MEDIA!!!

Liberty Amendment
Read what somebody said about the liberty amendment below (Here's the website: Liberty. Whatever the date, we should try to kill two birds with one stone, figuratively speaking, by aiming to get a million signatures in support of this bill.
I'm all for a march on Washington. It would have tremendous impact and it would show the diversity of people who support Dr Paul and who care about Liberty as well as showing the numbers who are willing to stand up in its defense.
I'm a freelance web designer, by the way, so if someone starts putting this stuff together in a concerted way and comes up with a date and so on then I'm happy to lend a hand.

What have I done??!?
I don't know what I've gotten myself into (or how my wife's going to react), but I just bought and paid for thisjuly14th.com
Now what? Anyone ready to help?
I need to explore hosting options and see if I can borrow some code from the folks who built the money bomb sites to get things running quickly, so we can plan the event, start collecting pledges to attend, and make this viral while there's enough time to plan and do it right.
Does anyone have contact info or other help they can offer?
Who wants to make the YouTube announcement clip?
I have nearly no money, only a little time, but a lot of enthusiasm to contribute, and I'd get myself to DC to march of course. As such, this really needs to be a team effort and I'm putting this out there in the hopes that others will respond and help make it happen.
Who's in? email me: thisjuly14th (at) yahoo(dot)com and let's see what we can get started
I hope you get a good response for this date...
As someone who has been in DC on Independence Day I can tell you that it is the wrong day for a march. The city gets completely overrun with tourists etc for the fireworks and other related events and hotels are booked and full months in advance.There isn't enough room for the all people who are there for Independence Day much less an unrelated political march.
Bastille Day is a much better choice! Good thinking on your part...:-)
