Husker Du - Reunion

That would be sweet. Bob Mould lives in DC, I think.

Re: music - you probably mean groups to play/sing?

This isn't that, but I think so often of the old songs when I think of the Ron Paul campaign. Just listen to Peter, Paul and Mary "If I Had a Hammer."

NECESSARY - A PLANE TO VIDEOTAPE THE CROWD

Lots of people organize marches, with hundreds of thousands, and the media later says that 10-25% of real numbers turned up.

You can't see large numbers of people from the ground.

A GOOD QUALITY video of the numbers of people, plus photographs, is essential.

Blimp

We definately need the big Ron Paul Blimp overhead to video the event!

A Modest Proposal

A Modest Proposal:

Ron Paul Revolution:
“March to Restore the Constitution”
June 21, 2008

VISION: Restore the Constitution and Bill of Rights for Our Children

MISSION: Get out Ron Paul’s message, break the MSM blackout and educate America

STRATEGY: A red, white and blue Freedom March on Washington to “Restore the Constitution and
Bill of Rights” led by Ron Paul and Rolling Thunder to Mall for speakers and concert

TACTIC: Follow-up red, white and blue July 4, 2008, Ron Paul Revolution Picnic with speakers
and concerts on each state capitol’s lawn

These dates provide both symbolism and practicality. Other weekends in Washington will be described by MSM as mostly tourists to minimize our numbers. When our nonviolent Revolution arrives we want them to know how many we really are without leaving any doubt. The July 4th follow-up would probably be huge after Washington and give those at home an opportunity to join us to let MSM know our numbers continue to grow. Ron Paul Revolution media must secure our broadcast streaming over the internet to every available media outlet for simulcast to the world. It’s time to put up, show up, stand up and be counted like our founding fathers and mothers. I believe we could include the convoy from the west which would grow moving east and parade into Washington with over 1.5 million people in attendance. The July 4th Revolutionary Picnic easily could draw over 50,000 people to most state capitols that Friday and would force local and state media coverage through the weekend. It is not just about an election; it’s about restoring our God given Rights and the Constitution for our children. I believe we are many more than what we think or imagine. Truth is on our side and it is very powerful. It’s time for We The People to do what is Right for US and our children.

If Manilow would come...

Say whatever you want about Barry, but he is one talented musician, and this is a big tent with room for everyone.

Just in case you're young or uninitiated, here are just a few lyrics from 3 songs I think would need to be on a Manilow set list for the march. Read these and then try to tell me you think he's a bad fit.

Let Freedom Ring
================
Let freedom ring
Let its music resound throughout the nation
Let it celebrate sweet liberty
That is keeping us free and strong.

Let freedom ring
And let everyone share its inspiration.
Let the promise not be satisfied
Until no one's denied its song.

It's a dream to build upon
We take the dream and pass it on, and on, and on.
And let freedom sing.

Let freedom ring.
For the children of every generation
May the love of freedom always ring
And let everyone sing along.

Daybreak
===========
I'm singin' to the world, everybody's caught in the spin
Look at where we've been
We've been runnin' around, year after year
Blinded with pride, blinded with fear

But it's daybreak, if you wanna believe
It can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world

Singin' to the world, what's the point in puttin' it down?
There's so much love to share
I'm singin' to the world, don't you see it all comes around?
The feeling's everywhere
We've been closin' our eyes, day after day
Covered in clouds, losin' our way

Hey, but it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak

One Voice
==============
Just One Voice,
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Voice,
Singing so they hear what's on your mind,
And when you look around you'll find
There's more than

One Voice,
Singing in the darkness,
Joining with your One Voice,
Each and every note another octave,
Hands are joined and fears unlocked,
If only

One Voice
Would start it on its own,
We need just One Voice facing the unknown,
And then that One Voice would never be alone,
It takes that One Voice.

It takes that One Voice.

Just One Voice
Singing in the darkness,
All it takes is One Voice,
Shout it out and let it ring.

Just One Voice,
It takes that One Voice,
And everyone will sing!

Not to exclude anyone else, but if Manilow's truly a Ron Paul supporter, we gotta hope the march fits into his scheduled commitments.

Marc Scibilia has a great

Marc Scibilia has a great song "Hope Anthem"...I agree, invite him, too!

AlixH

How About.....

Steve Dorr and also some of the rap artists including the group that does "Ron Paul for the Long Haul" ( I believe they're called ? Liberty--- I cannot remember their full name). These are proven supporters and should absolutely be invited. Ditto John Mayer and Arlo Guthrie. Some of the names mentioned are assumed to be RP supporters though not yet confirmed.

we'd get older demographics to take notice of ron paul if

we got barry manilow to play - he donated to ron paul's campaign early on (think he even maxed out)

Sweet

Willie Nelson
Arlo Guthrie
John Mayer
Jimmie Vaughan
Eric Johnson
Foo Fighters
Poker Face

Arlo Guthrie definitly, how

Arlo Guthrie definitly,
how about The Eagles
and Brooks and Donn?

and maybe

Jimmie Vaughn too

who is supposed to be playing for rp on the 23rd in Austin

Did anybody else the the

Did anybody else the the john mayer tidbit in newsweek???

I am a rather good djer...

I am a rather good djer... Lol... Can play some techno dance music :D

Nugent...

is a neo-con! He is hooked up with Hannity and the Fox Neo-Cons. He has been to Iraq a few times playing for the troops....says he feels guilty about dodging the draft in Nam. Ted loves war..probably a McCain lover.

Eric Johnson is very much against the war and he is from Austin Texas...knows Vaughn well...he might be into it.

I wonder if Dylan is a libertarian?

A great RP supporter....

how about Willie Nelson!

LIKE SHOOTING FISH IN A BARREL!
Drowning in debt? About to be eaten
alive by sharks? Jump in the lifeboat
right NOW! Free to join!

feds would bust him... and

feds would bust him... and you know it, lol.

Anyone Know

where Ted Nugent stands on candidates - issues ....
seems like he would be for the freedom message...?

Anyone Know

where Ted Nugent stands - on candidates....
you'd think he'd dig RP

NO! He is a classic neocon

NO! He is a classic neocon sympathizer and intolerant "caveman conservative" of the worst sort! He was TOTALLY in sync with Iraq War I and II, and although he makes token libertarian noises at times, he is NOT!

First Of All

whoever is interested - and whoever is available and not booked etc...

hopefully Arlo Guthrie will be invited
as well as the others mentioned below -
also, Jimmie Vaughan would have to be invited

a little shameless self promo

Poker Face is up for this. We're no strangers to playing the National Mall.

-Clinton Impeachment rally
-House Mgr tribute
-Second Amendment Sisters counter rally to Rosie's MMM
-March for Liberty I and II
-We The People Foundation rally
- and more

Jimmy Vaughn would be a great addition. We shared the stage with him at the LNC (Libertarian Party National Convention) in 2004. I would also recommend Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad.

... end self promo ;-)
