March on Washington

Maybe we should march on a Monday. I'm willing to wager that more people watch the evening news on a Monday than on a Saturday.

READ THIS

WE HAVE TO BE UNITED IN OUR MARCH. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ORGANIZE YOUR OWN, BUT RATHER JOIN THE ONE THAT IS ALREADY FORMED AND IN THE PLANNING STEPS.

UNITY IS VITAL TO THE SUCCESS OF A GOOD MARCH.
we are currently working on setting date; hopefully after our next conference call (wednesday night) we will have one set.
THANK YOU; PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO OTHER FORUM PAGES!

we need one thread for this

Its confussing

They do the fire works display at the arch

You would just be part of another huge crowd thats there to see it.

Central can be under Gatway Arch it will hold tens of thousands

Gatway to the West.

March on Washington - May 3?

How about something like May 3?

Feb and March are too soon. April on has 1 primary. May 6 to June 3 has like 10 primary/caucuses.

Might as well do May 1 - May Day throughout Europe!

I may be a vegetarian, but I'll defend to the death my right to eat pork!

The only way to show our true numbers is to have three events

East West and Central. Its the only way people can aford to go. It takes to long to make the trip across country unless you fly. The cost of flying is to high for most people also alot of our people won't give up biometrics to get a passport. I know I won't!

DC/Memeorial Day starts the Summer...

of Liberty, St. PAUL/Labor Day caps it with the nomination!

Memorial day sucks

Crazy travel weekend and accomodations will be hell to get. I appreciate the idea of the three day weekend, but so does everybody else, and that's the issue.

Pick an off-weekend before that.

"Welcome to 2008: The Year of Ron Paul!"

Independence Day Rallies nationwide...

for the third event(s).

i agree, kind of.

is the march about maximum turn out or all of us in one place?

ron paul 2008

I was thinking the same thing!

Also, I can't fly now that they banned bringing water on board (for serious health reasons).

But, what other cities? That is the problem I can't solve.

They should all be in the center of the country (North to South, just like DC)

I guess LA on the West Coast (NOT Berkley). But where in central USA?

Also, it MUST be on the SAME DAY!

I'd actually suggest Chicago - only because it is big and would get great press. The problem is that it is all the way north - what will the Southerners do?

True_Believer makes a good

True_Believer makes a good point below.

Wouldn't it be best to go NOT on a holiday, but when no other large numbers of people would be there? The more I think of it, the less I think either Memorial Day or July 4th are good ideas. How about a weekend before or after those holidays? Why confuse our presence with a national holiday? After all, I don't think other similar large marches were held on holidays, probably with good reason.

July 4th is INDEPENDECE DAY!!! That's what we are fighting for!

Thats a hard call

Memorial day there is always alot going on in Dc on memorial day. Also don't want to upset the Vet's. It could have blowback and we don't want to disrespect them. That is a day to remember all fallen soldiers not just the guys in Iraq.

I Like July 4th - a Nat'l Holiday. But Busses Aren't Enough :(

Seriously - Do you know how many DAYS it will take from California, Oregon, Washington and other Western States just to get there?

People would have to take the entire week off from work to get there and back :(

East Coasters can all drive up / down (~5 hrs from NYC).
Even then, people north of Boston would need to make it 2 days each way.

I can't imagine this working for people west of the Mississippi though.

Someone at the Daily Dose

suggested marches at your state capitol if you can't make it to DC. All 50 states, plus DC could have a pretty big impact.

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
- Plato

We need Ron Paul songs (and their singers) there

We could have them all their to play their Ron Paul song. There's probably over a hundred at this point...

Yes make one Meetup a capital and send all donations there

The capital meetup lets everyone know where donations stand and what cost is. We all register with the capital meetup so they can get a count on everyone. We all drive to the capital which should be Eastern central part of the state so everyone is moving towards DC to catch their buss.

PS we should make the deal with grayhound for all the states. They will probably cut a pretty good deal for that big of an order.

Meetups and buses

I think our meetup groups should reserve Greyhound buses from all major cities to make it easier. Group discounts make people happy.

I will be there !!

I have been hoping for something like this.

So many of us would love to go

but can't afford to go that far.
That's going to leave a lot of us out and not show the true numbers of his support.

Can't afford NOT to go!!!

How about some 'Long train of Abuses'?

We keep it peacful no matter what

We don't even litter. We let the world see that we are just good old american folk that want our country to honor it's law's (Constitution). We have a good old march. Then have a picinic while hearing some tunes. We meet all the Ron Paul people we can. We share stories and feed off each others energy then we clean up our own little mess and go home. Everything we do we do in peace. No fighting no getting mad. Anything that disturbs us we just roll with the punches and go the other way. Sounds fun to be part of the first ever RP Republicans National March. This will make history trust me.

July 4th!!!!

July 4th!!!!

July 4th -- Yes?

Has July 4th been the generally-proposed and agreed-upon date? I'm asking because I'm ready to start getting flight/hotel information!

If we do it on Memorial day

If we do it on Memorial day we can make July 4th a day for local actions like DVD handouts, floats in local parades etc.

Largest support of active military...

Begin the Ron Paul Summer on Memorial Day weekend!

HEHEHEHE

We are going marching. Where are those drummer boys. Sounds great. The meetups can start raising funds for transportation and hotels. We can do this through the meetups.

Question: Will the

Question: Will the semi-quasi-fascist police state even allow such marches anymore? Or will we all be "domestic terrorists"? Which would be worth doing for that sake anyway, but still, just wondering if anyone knows.

We are already considered

We are already considered "domestic terrorists" by those who wish to sieze the government under complete despotism, so what will this change. They would be foolish to provocateur a march of Ron Paul people. We would have so many cameras, live cameras and informed people that we would smell it out, document it and broadcast the treachery to the world.

We're probably labeled domestic terrorists anyway

for posting on this site.

We need to start to make

We need to start to make this happen. People need to watch this video. We need to start figuring out when and how we are going to do this.

As a side note, (joking, well, kind of) can we chop down all the cherry trees in Washington while we are there?

The date of Memorial Day has been changed from the original one

The people who say that we shouldn't do this on a holiday might be right. DC is going to be on lock down. So I went to do some research. It turns out that the original Memorial Day was set for May 30th. It was changed some years later (didn't look into that). May 30th is a Friday so we minimize the problems with travel. Also, it doesn't interfere with the other memorial day services and its historically accurate.

This is

a GREAT IDEA.

P.S. Please don't chop down the cherry trees - Japan gave those to us :-)
