Vote for the day to march on D.C.!!

[Nate K]

Vote in the poll.

[Nyte]

i like the 8-8-08 idea

Edit: Strike that. Dr. Paul has said "no more than 3-4 months from now."

[attackkatt]

Tax day is really when we should have overall elections.

[dagnybell]

Tax day is perfect!

[4RP08inKCMO]

I'm torn between July 4th and 08-08-08.

[BigRedBrent]

I say we go with July 4th, Independence Day. We need to declare our independence from the neocons!

[Nate K]

bump, i'll endorse the leading vote by Monday night.

[UK4Paul]

I've heard people say that DC will already be crowded on July 4th, so I went with 08-08-08.

[Nate K]

bump

[VRP08]

April 15, or any day before June

[Paulfan05]

I was thinking july 4th, but everyone will be paying attention to fireworks, so I nov 5th, lots of time to organize and there wont be any big other news that day

[garrettwombat]

i say july 4th... an emotional day for our country... also a day when a lot of people will get off work.

[ForLiberty-RonPaul]

July 4th hands down. people will be off work so it'll be easier to get their attention.

[bluto20]

Never. D.C. is a place where guns are banned yet every gov't building has snipers and god knows what attached to their rooftops. If shit gets outta hand, we're all either dead or rounded up and there is nothing you can do to protect yourselves. That bigtime IRS rally didn't change anything. I'm not trying to burn out this great idea. Just suggesting we try to do it elsewhere.

[eric_cartman]

i'm pretty sure the national election is on Nov. 6th... so having the march on Nov. 5th would be a cool idea because it would show our opposition to the two candidates. since this ron paul revolution really started to pick up steam from the nov. 5th, 2007 money bomb... it would be cool to see how much we accomplished in one year. we'd have time to make ron paul masks paper masks and do a whole V for Vendetta thing in Washington D.C. And if enough people show up in opposition to the two candidates, we might even be able to have a peaceful rEVOLution where we would have enough people to take over DC and install ron paul as the rightful president of the United States by the next day.

[Rhys]

does 888 mean anything at all or do you think it's just neat-o?

i voted for independence day.

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

Won't there be a lot of competing rallies on July 4th? If so, do we care? I wouldn't want our numbers to be covered as something else.

[parke]

If DC is crowed on July 4th... wouldnt that be a good thing? Im all for July 4th.

[jillian]

i voted for july 4th but i can do it anytime over the summer

please don't scheule it at the beginning of the school year which is mid-august.

[Sematary]

You need a reality check on this. One of the reasons the Philly rally was IN Philly was because the logistics of holding a large demonstration of any sort in D.C. are insane. You have to set up several months in advance, which means anything before June, at this point, is out of the question. So you might as well look at the Aug 8 date now and start filing your paperwork or you'll lose that as well.

I think everybody should save their vacation time for September 1-4 in St. Paul, Minnesota, for 2 reasons.

1) GOP needs 8,000 volunteers to run the convention, INCLUDING DATA PROCESSING!!! The more of those who are Ron Paul supporters, the better.

2) Chicago in 1968 made history, and it was nowhere near as organized as we can be.


ON TO THE CONVENTION!!!

[JenaS62]

I chose the 4th of July! My kids will be out of school and we can make a family affair out of it. Others in my meetup group are talking about renting a bus to get us all from Florida to Washington. Although the traffic will be bad - no one can use the lame excuse of having to work or kids in school for not attending.

[RedLightning]

April 19

[scar]

888 for me.

I've never been involved with organizing something like this, but im sure we're going to need months of time to prepare.

The more time to promote the better in my opinion (=

[pinkmandy]

What about Father's day? For our founding fathers? That would be June! I'd like to see us focus on men standing up for their rights again and protecting their families. We could put a really nice spin on that angle, appeal to male ego.

Middle of summer (July+) is WAY TOO HOT in DC. Families won't be out walking w/little ones. Any march we have on July 4 won't compete with the all day hoopla associated with the 4th in the area. There is security everywhere and they close off some areas for ticket holders only. Also, it should be AFTER the Revolution Manifesto comes out so we raise awareness on that as well.

[roshi]

July 4th. More people = more attention. Also, we have spare time and a great day to watch the fireworks ;D

[CareerTech1]

July 4th or 8/8/08

[Kludge]

"In a way reminiscent to the Hippies of the Vietnam War, wild Ron Paul supporters gathered in Washington D.C. today to protest the election. When told to clear the area, the radicals began throwing stones and molotov cocktails at the US military. Many were also carrying rifles and fired a warning shot into the air.

Paul's supporters were quickly broken up with tear gas. Many of the group's organizer's have been arrested for crossing state lines intending to incite a riot."

Maybe in a month, we'll get our own Wikipedia page on the D.C. 16.

[pinkmandy]

NOT JULY 4. Come on guys, DHS is out in force. It's a BIG day in DC and we will be totally ignored.

[Channing]

Since the convention will be held in Minneapolis-ST. PAUL that is where we need to go!

[scar]

bump, I'm thinkin you might be right channing.

Yea...but what are they going to do if say a million or more people just show up? put us all in jail?

[Novice@Best]

Is everyone just flat out foolish? Are we going to be able to assemble 10,000,000 people or even 500,000 by by March 15 or even April 15th? And July 4th !! Come on people, millions of Americans already travel to D.C. for that day and any attention for Ron Paul would instantly be diverted and respect given to the 4th not to Paul's march. It would be easily hidden by the media and immediately swept under the rug. Honestly, none of those dates are acceptable. Once again, WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!!

[Airborn]

Lets get a date decided on! Quick, we need to spread this and make youtubes. Ron wants us to rally up and do the march, gets get the rEVOLution going!

[jrich4rpaul]

July 4th is too late, Ron Paul requested it be sooner than 4 months

[DirtMcGirt]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_Day

May 1

[gerryb]

July is too far off.

We need to make this happen March 1st weekend, to affect the March 4th Texas primary

[snpage]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO July fourth would be PERFECT! I will be on vacation. I was going to visit my sis in virginia...that would be awesome. Please pic july fourth everyone!!!

[Airborn]

July 4th is too late, Ron Paul requested it be sooner than 4 months

Yes true, we need a new poll. Anyone good with certain good dates wanna make one?

[jrich4rpaul]

July is too far off.

WAY too early. Late March/early April

[PauliticsPolitics]

there are alot of other activites going on in washington july 4th, but maybe that's a good thing!

[Airborn]

what about one of these dates?

April 15th - Tax Day
April 18th - Paul Revere's Midnight Ride

or too soon?

[Energy]

Around June is a sweet spot. After school is out and long enough to promote and save up for the trip.

[jrich4rpaul]

there are alot of other activites going on in washington july 4th, but maybe that's a good thing!

WAY too late

[PauliticsPolitics]

also, dont forget august 20th is RP's birthday

[280Z28]

July 4th is too late, Ron Paul requested it be sooner than 4 months

Anything before June 1 is too early - schools are still in session.

[jrich4rpaul]

also, dont forget august 20th is RP's birthday

Ron said 6 months from now is too late

[PauliticsPolitics]

honestly, it should probably be may or june... that's 3 or 4 months like RP suggested.

[PauliticsPolitics]

and this voting chart doesn't give much attention to may or june!

[280Z28]

Father's Day, June 15th, school is out and it's 4 months away - enough time to plan and well ahead of the convention.

[JohnnyWrath]

The corner stone of the base of lady liberty was laid on August 5 1884...just a thought.

http://z.about.com/d/architecture/1/7/_/i/Statue_of_Liberty_FREE_l.jpg

I like August because it gives the most time, but is still before the convention.

[Airborn]

I like August becaus it gives the most time, but is still before the convention.

too far, we need it in 3-4 months

[PeacePlan]

I say the 4th of July - Independence day..

We get our Stimulus checks in June and many people can use that to fund their trip.

The 4th is on a Friday and it would make for a great trip and family vacation.. I think the 4th is great - make a weekend of it..

My commander in Chief wants me to march on Washington - I will be there..

[JeffersonThomas]

may or june. Not the 4th, too many other things going on around DC

[PeacePlan]

Make sure it is after the stimulus checks get sent and you will get a lot more people..

[PeacePlan]

may or june. Not the 4th, too many other things going on around DC


That is good jam up the whole city is the point IMO More attention..

[Dave39168]

i voted 8-8-08. D.C. will already have plenty going on july 4. We need a day that there won't be much else for the news to report.

[DirtMcGirt]

Loyalty Day is observed on May 1 in the United States. It is a day set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.

[edit] History

The holiday was first observed in 1921[1] as "Americanization Day,"[2] and was intended to counterbalance the celebration of Labour Day on May Day (May 1), an internationally celebrated holiday which was perceived as communist.

Loyalty Day is celebrated with parades and ceremonies in several U.S. communities, although many people in the United States remain unaware of it. Although a legal holiday, it is not a federal holiday, and is not commonly observed.

It was made an official holiday by the U.S. Congress on July 18, 1958 (Public Law 85-529).[3][4] Following the passage of this law, President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed May 1, 1959 the first official observance of Loyalty Day. [5]

Too late, too late, too late!

[hotbrownsauce]

we must go by 3 months from now and no later.

Dr. Paul asked us too. Watch his new youtube.com video

[TTB]

I know the 4th is too late based on what Ron said, but it would be quite a statement to draft a new Declaration of Independence... this time from the Federal Government. Have Ron read it from the front lawn of the White House; list the grievances against our current 'king' George. I can see it now.

Regardless, I will be there with my wife and four kids, whatever day it is.

[JohnnyWrath]

Being in Ohio, I have driven to DC a few times....I wouldn't mind making an entire week vacation out of it myself because there is so much to see and do there....the museums are great, and the monuments are breath taking to those who love history and our country. Washington Monument was my favorite...the only thing that could make it a better trip, is to be there with real purpose such as this...I look forward to it.

This will take good organizing I think...hotels and helping people get there and get around when there....meeting places etc...I think we need some structure for this project seriously...

[JiMMy_247]

We don't need somebody else's historical date, this one is ours.

Do it on a weekend with the most amount of time between now and then to advertise it while keeping within the time table Ron Paul suggested.

[FortWorth38]

1. Logistics in DC on the July 4th & adding a March will not work

2. I have a bad feeling about DC in July

[DahuiHeeNalu]

March 15, April 15, or any day before June

because July 4th ppl with familyyy!!!

[PeacePlan]

Since the convention will be held in Minneapolis-ST. PAUL that is where we need to go!

Thanks for asking me to the convention..

I think I will go where Ron Paul asked me to go = Washington.

Ron Paul is asking this of us.. time to show him our support. We need buses to come from all over the country..

[Malum Prohibitum]

This movement is big about real liberty oriented symbolism. I cant think of a better day than independence day. It has the added bonus of falling on a 3 day weekend. We could make a weekend of it.

[Publius Freeman]

DC will already be packed for the 4th of July, and we'll have a captive audience...:)

Ron Paul, For Liberty and Justice for All

4th of July 2008

[Malakai0]

Ron said it needs to be within 3-4 months. November is long after the conventions, I'd say late Juny early July at the outset.

[Itzsoez]

April 19, 1775 Revolution begins-Lexington Common, shot "heard round the world"


2 month away and on a saturday

[flames2dust77]

I voted for July 4th...only because my son won't have school...and I would really like for him to attend this and see it first hand....be a part of history you know? It's very important that this is peaceful and children can be included...since they are the ones who will be running this place in the future=)

[Jmaths117]

I want to point out that Dr. Paul said he wants it to be done in the next 3-4 months.

[flames2dust77]

July is too far off.

We need to make this happen March 1st weekend, to affect the March 4th Texas primary

if it's that soon...i'm sorry but no one will be there. ppl have jobs, they have kids who are in school, college students have school. helloooooo? alot of us are on the other side of the country...we can't just buy plane tickets out there....the prices are horrid. ppl need more time to plan.

is there an official website for this? and if so...who is in charge, and do they need more organizers, volunteers, whatever? because i'm willing to help. i'm sick of all the disorganization around this place.

[Ninja Homer]

Ron Paul says 3-4 months, which is May-June. I think a weekend in early to mid June, after most schools are out for summer break would be best.

This doesn't have to be on a historic day. We're making history, and this will be OUR historic day!
