Weird idea for the march

This idea just popped in my head, but what if people waved white "surrender" flags? I think it would create a "huh?" moment, as in "what are they surrendering for?" I mean, you wouldn't really be surrendering anything, but many people take quite the proverbial beating from the government. I think it would attract attention in a different kind of way as it is open to interpretation and would actually trigger some thought behind it. Psychologically, I think it could be a more powerful statement of irony than if one was waving a sign with the more obvious statements. What are your thoughts?

Actually...
We should be waving back flags that say revolution in white with the love outlined in red...
I say a black flag because it's a sign that we WON'T GIVE up.
I have a weird idea too!!
Like...now, this is controversial, but...how about :::GASP:::: setting a date for it??
I hear a different date every day...I somehow think it'll be more effective if we all show up on the same day......
:D
Haha... I agree, Stephanie.
Haha... I agree, Stephanie. I hope Dr. Paul picks a date soon.
Ron Paul 2008!
Absolutely not...
the media will have a hay day with the surrender message.
How about we do whatever we
How about we do whatever we feel is right for promoting the Constitution and freedom? We're not little children... we're liberty loving adults who can make their own decisions about such things. I'm all for the March, but let's let people express themselves as they wish.
Ron Paul 2008!
Beans instead
Corner the market on beans, then take them to the march and dump some on the lawn
People don't rally around a surrender
Cut me a break. That's what the government wants to see, total surrender of the masses. They got us to the point where many really don't care any more. We have to show them that no matter what, we aren't giving up. We have to show them that there is a growing group that are on to them and will never allow them to win.
The battle cry should be what the commander of the surrounded US troops at Bastogne gave back to the German ultimatum for them to surrender or be wiped out. He simply wrote back, NUTS!!!!! And they kept fighting. Never give up. Never give any sign to the other side that you are ready to give up.
A better signal to instill a little fear is to have everyone carry shotguns and pitch forks. That's a vision that will stick in their heads.
What better way to demonstrate civilian
authority over the military-industrial complex than by marching with our official civil flags. These are beautiful and are sure to get alot of attention from the media and general public as well. Check out their history and impressive image at uscivilflags.org. Combine this with ronpaulflags.com and you have an outstanding one-two punch. BTW, I understand constitution toilet paper is standard fare in all white house restrooms so no need to use it at the march.
God will work with you but not for you - Walter Russell
Better idea
How about we carry rolls of toilet paper with the constitution printed on them - as a symbol of what the political class does every day?
Umm, maybe not....
WTF Not just a bad idea...
How about taking an extra minute to think about your ideas before posting them. I'm not trying to be offensive here but that idea is probably the dumbest idea I've ever heard for freedom march. At least you are willing to try and come up with ideas though I'll give you credit for trying. Your heart is in the right place but your head is not.
It's like marching for US Citizenship waving a Mexican flag.... people aren't going to get the message and inversely pay you no mind by thinking you are mentally deficient.

Ron Paul rEVOLution. We realize our country has corruption never before seen in any civilization. The magnitude of which is almost unimaginable.
bad idea
McCain and the news would say we are surrendering to Iraq.
great idea...
too bad people are so dumb-- they will say that we are surrendering the race...
they wont get it---
how bout some upside down american flags---
that will surely get attention--
people will say that ron paul supporters are disrespectful for flying upside down flags... and then when they learn that it means the nation is in distrss- they will get it--
problem is-- people are so dumb-- the mainstream will spin it as we are all so disrespectful....
hmmmmmmmmm....
Eastern Oregon is Ron Paul Country!
That would be powerful!
maybe something that suggests the opposite
that could still explain why even from a helicopter view just in case they try to smear it somehow.
State flags are very important to have
We need all 50 state flags to be there right by Ron Paul when he speaks. WE need to surround the stage with state flags from every state,
