I'll be there rain, sleet, snow, hail, or hell

[BCalla]

Some have asked why I started this thread. I believe in order to keep the message of liberty and to save this country we need to push Ron Paul into the race. In 2008 if our choices are McCain or the Democrats this country is done. We are going to collapse economically for sure. We as a nation will turn to more big government bringing us to socialism. Either way I think McCain and or Hillary or Obama will destroy our country. This is not about a protest vote!!! It is the last moral and patriotic vote you will ever cast in your life time to save our country.

If Hillary and McCain are the choices I see Ron Paul supporters changing the politics forever. Republican conservatives and independents and some democrats will see Ron Paul as an option to no longer vote for the lesser of 2 evils. Ron Paul will be the vote to end this war and save our country from socialism and removing the IRS etc. Also he will be the only candidate against illegal immigration. Even if Ron Paul says he is not running we the American Patriots will draft him into the race somehow. Civil disobedience, marches on Washington into the millions. If the MSM will ignore Ron Paul then we will make it impossible for them to ignore us.

This is not about anti-war protests of the 60’s. This is about the obsession of government thru the tax burden and the erosion of our individual rights. This election is the point in history where Americans will choose freedom over tyranny. We the people will restore the constitution and promise to protect it at all costs. We will promote the principles of freedom to every American and then write Ron Paul’s name in come November.
Spread the word, and let’s do this together.

American Conservative

I'm taking bets on how many polls about this will be made

anyone want to bet?

[csinmo]

Very interesting, indeed! I'll be interested to see more details as this develops.

Let the Remnant awake! To the Mall!!!

Awesome. "I have a dream!" :D

Million Patriot March

[The Tao Of Bill]

Wow! I am so proud of Ron Paul right now! FINALLY! I've been wanting him to ask for this all year! It's time to march. Come hell or high water I WILL make it to washington

[bhull]

I'll be there.

[bj72]

In the comments on YouTube people were saying July 4th. However, that isn't in the next 3-4 months. And although it would seem July 4th would be cool because it is our Independence Day, the fact of the matter is it is mobbed on July 4th with the fireworks. Wouldn't MSM just right off the numbers then?

May would be 3 months...Memorial Day might make more sense. Remembering those who have fought and died to keep us free....remembering when leaders in Washington, DC actually upheld the Constitution those brave men and women fought for....asking when we will return to it...asking what is the point of them fighting now, if they come home to their civil liberties gone and economy destroyed.....


Ahhhh, just saw www.ronpaulmarch.com .... April 15, tax day. That's even better :) We can use all those rebates to fly out with ;)

[markj]

I look forward to meeting all 999,999 of the rest of you! :D

[..PAUL4PRES..]

Somebody needs to redo that website quick!!!

[The Tao Of Bill]

I don't think we should do it on any holiday or we might wind up confusing our message. We should just pick a weekend and go.

I'd suggest may as well though. Because most colleges are out of school by then.

[..PAUL4PRES..]

July 4th would be the best day. However think of howmany will be in Washington and how many other events will be going on. We need to stand out, on a day of our own.

How to Organize a Demonstration in Washington DC

http://www.ehow.com/how_2073988_organize-demonstration-washington.html
http://www.ehow.com/how_2051467_organize-protest-washington-dc.html
Introduction
The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees "...the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." This includes demonstrating in Washington D.C. So you have decided to redress a particular grievance in a demonstration in D.C., now what do you do? Read on to learn how to organize a demonstration in Washington. There is this huge misconception that only large national organizations are able to conduct a march or protest in the District of Colombia, but in reality, anyone can. The problem is that many people do not know where to start. The information is not available through the Washington, D.C. website. Follow the guidelines below, however, and you can conduct a protest or march in Washington with ease.

Steps

Step One

Decide on the type of demonstration. When it comes to demonstrations in D.C., most people are familiar with marches: March on Washington in 1963 where Dr. Martin Luther King gave his now famous speech I Have a Dream; Poor Peoples' March on Washington in 1968 and the Million Man March in 1995. Start planning at least three months ahead of your anticipated march. Permits are approved within 48 hours but you can submit them up to a year or more in advance. The earlier you start, the better.

Step Two
Decide on your cause and be specific. Make sure you are focused on the message you want to send to those watching.

Step Three
Contact other like-minded people or organizations. It is better to have a coalition rather than go it alone. Others will have contacts that you won't have, thus making your demonstration more effective.

Step Four
Choose a date for the demonstration, and then determine who will be in charge of what and when the particular jobs must be completed. Create a calendar with a timeline including the date for the demonstration, and then work backwards listing every detail of what needs to be accomplished. To have a wonderful cause ruined by a lack of organization would be a waste.

Step Five
Decide on the location. Demonstrate in a heavily populated place for the most exposure. Visit the Dcpages website for a map of the District of Colombia. Determine the protest gathering point, march route and rally area. Print the map by hitting the ¨Print Screen¨ button on the keyboard. Use a yellow highlighter to plot out the different protest points on the map.

Step Six
Secure a permit for your demonstration. Contact the National Parks Permit Office by calling (202) 619-7225. Ask them to fax you a permit application. Ask them for the availability dates on the gathering location, march route and rally point. Once they have confirmed availability, proceed to fill out the entire application. Make sure to specify the estimated number of people participating in the protest and the main contact person. That person must sign and date the application. Make a copy of the application and the highlighted map for your records. Mail the original application and highlighted map to: National Parks Permit Office, Room 128, 1100 Ohio Drive Southwest, Washington, District of Colombia 20242. Wait about a week for a National Parks Agent to call. This agent will be specifically assigned to your organization for the permit application process. Have the agent give you her direct extension for further questions and information. Provide the agent with any additional information he may need to approve the permit. Ask him to fax you the approved permit immediately and mail the original back to you.

Step Seven
Start campaigning for participants with your permit in hand. The National Parks Permit Office will take care of notifying the District of Colombia Police and other city organizations that require special events notification. It's that simple! Contact the media and write press release information packets for distribution.

Step Eight
Write legible posters with correct spelling. Also, see to it that the letters are visible to those watching. The sayings on the posters should be catchy and memorable.

Step Nine
Abide by the laws. Those in your group who are short tempered will bring the wrong sort of attention to your cause. On the day of the demonstration, already have in place those you have appointed to squelch hints of disruption.

Tips & Warnings

Be friendly and polite to the National Parks Agent, she is your key to permit approval.
Call the National Parks Permit Office at (202) 619-7225 for help in filling out the application.
All applications must be mailed or walked in to the National Parks Permit Office.

[bj72]

So, do those on www.ronpaulmarch.com have the permits and stuff covered?

[The Tao Of Bill]

July 4th would be the best day. However think of howmany will be in Washington and how many other events will be going on. We need to stand out, on a day of our own.

Exactly, both memorial day and the 4th of july will have several other events going on in DC. We need our own day. Just an everyday day.

After all. They're going to need a new holiday to give to Ron Paul for saving our country ;)

[PINN4CL3]

I wonder if the Granny Warriors will be able to make it?

[BCalla]

I say April 15th TAX DAY which is a tuesday and get the 6oclock news... or Thomas Jeffersons birthday sunday April 13th.... We dont want to do it on any major holiday because the media will be busy doing other stories. Ron Paul said it should be 3 or 4 months before the convention. Looking at May or April or June.

[The Tao Of Bill]

No not tax day.

Tax day is in the middle of April. I think you're forgetting where most of Ron Paul's supporters are in the middle of April. They are in class taking their finals. We need it after April to ensure everyone can make it.

[markrink]

http://www.revolutionmarch.com/

[LeVer2k2]

I love this idea. As long as it doesn't fall on a day where we have to share the mall with thousands of other people. April 15th or the closest weekend to it makes more sense to me.

[The Tao Of Bill]

http://www.revolutionmarch.com/Dude...if you want your website to be the official Ron Paul March website try to make it look a little less like your myspace page.

[PeacePlan]

How about July 3rd then we could make it a vacation by spending the 4th there also and bring families..

[The Tao Of Bill]

I love this idea. As long as it doesn't fall on a day where we have share the mall with thousands of other people. April 15th or the closest weekend to it makes more sense to me.


Again I need to stress. April is a bad month. BAD. I will not give up valuable study time and I will not skip finals for Ron Paul. I'm sorry but my education comes first and I'm sure many other student supporters will agree. May is the best month.

[The Tao Of Bill]

How about July 3rd then we could make it a vacation by spending the 4th there also and bring families.. I think July is too late. The sooner the better. Again, May is the best month. I say the 2nd weekend of May.

[bj72]

We do need to consider April being bad for students if this is the case.

Also, April only gives those on the opposite coast 2 months to get a ticket from this week...not much time imo. Especially since it'll take a bit for the word to get out.

May-July is better.

[sfws09]

after may 7th for me.....oh i hope i can make it! :D

[Patriot123]

All ready got a front page article about this up on my "half done" news website :D

http://fusionnewsnetwork.webs.com

[bj72]

What about a weekend or two before memorial day. A call to remind those to actually observe it and upcoming July 4th. That we need to see these as holidays to remember and give thanks, not simply vacation on?

[The Tao Of Bill]

I'm going to throw a date out there right now. May 17th. That's a Saturday. An ordinary Saturday. Should be relatively crowded just because it's a weekend but not crowded enough that people confuse our numbers. Any objections to May 17th?

[LeVer2k2]

Again I need to stress. April is a bad month. BAD. I will not give up valuable study time and I will not skip finals for Ron Paul. I'm sorry but my education comes first and I'm sure many other student supporters will agree. May is the best month.
People post very rapidly on this forum. Your objection to April 15th was posted at the same time that I was typing my message. You do make a good point about the inconvenience of that date. I really don't think we should have this march centered around any national holiday. It should be so random that it takes the media and the unknowing public by surprise.

[bj72]

BTW, did www.ronpaulmarch.com just pop up after this message? Or was that up all along? If it just popped up, that's fast work! And if it did just pop up, should they be listing the date as set on April 15 just yet?

[BW4Paul]

No not tax day.

Tax day is in the middle of April. I think you're forgetting where most of Ron Paul's supporters are in the middle of April. They are in class taking their finals. We need it after April to ensure everyone can make it.
Thirded. April would be a terrible, terrible time for students-- the very people most likely to be stirred up enough to show up.

I really don't think we should have this march centered around any national holiday. It should be so random that it takes the media and the unknowing public by surprise. Yeah I figured. But I just wanted to make the point very clear because I would hate to see our numbers down because our college supporters couldn't make it.

I can go with May 17th. It's after most finals and it follows the release of The Revolution.

[sfws09]

i just watched the vid.

I AM SO EXCITED!

i dont know if im going to be able to sleep....

THIS IS BIG!

[BCalla]

I'm ok with May 17th

[ToyBoat]

4th OF JULY - INDEPENDENCE DAY!

The march could coincide with the firework show they put on in DC :D

[Pepsi]

What about May 11? The day that the Real ID Act is sopose to come into effect?

[BW4Paul]

4th OF JULY - INDEPENDENCE DAY!

The march could coincide with the firework show they put on in DC :D
It's been discussed; there's so much extra security in DC during this time that it'd be pretty much impossible-- especially if we wanted to get a permit in a remotely decent spot.

[The Tao Of Bill]

4th OF JULY - INDEPENDENCE DAY!

The march could coincide with the firework show they put on in DC :D We don't want people confused at what the march is about. People will think we're just a 4th of July March. We want this to be the Ron Paul Revolution march. Not the Memorial day march. Not the 4th of July March. The Ron Paul Revolution March.

[Mikeforpaul]

May 17th would be good for most students.

[The Tao Of Bill]

What about May 11? The day that the Real ID Act is sopose to come into effect? UGH. May 11th is a Monday. It doesn't have to be a symbolic day. We want a weekend because that's when most people have time to go on a cross country trip. We don't want a holiday because it will confuse our message. Just an ordinary old Saturday is fine. May 17th is perfect.

EDIT: Nevermind that's a sunday but still it doesn't give us much time for a return trip. I'd rather be back home before the weekend is up.

[ToyBoat]

We don't want people confused at what the march is about. People will think we're just a 4th of July March. We want this to be the Ron Paul Revolution march. Not the Memorial day march. Not the 4th of July March. The Ron Paul Revolution March.
:o ok

Will there be people thinking about an RP caravan going out to DC?

[The Tao Of Bill]

:o ok

Will there be people thinking about an RP caravan going out to DC? Talk to your meetups. Maybe they can work out transportation. Otherwise you might have to foot the bill yourself.

[Ayanamifan]

After speaking with my gf about this, I think we've concluded the first weekend in June (or there abouts) to be the best time frame. It's the beginning of summer, people will be able to organize their vacations and students are out of school. As well as, it's within the 3-4 month time frame, but towards the end, giving plenty of time to organize for permits, entertainment, route planning and so forth.

Opinions?

[ToyBoat]

Talk to your meetups. Maybe they can work out transportation. Otherwise you might have to foot the bill yourself.
Ya, I was thinking things like 'Bikers for Ron Paul' for a long haul...
It would be cool to have a caravan going out with RP signs on their cars/vans/motor homes etc. and people can join in along the way.

[Paul Revered]

http://www.revolutionmarch.com/I posted this on MySpace.

[bj72]

What about May 11? The day that the Real ID Act is supposed to come into effect?

Although I like the weekend of the May 17th...right before Memorial Day and July 4th, so as to remind all why we have those holidays...

I have to say, doing it May 10 or 11th could make sense too. After May 11, it might be harder for some to get across country. We do not know how strict it will be on the onset.

First weekend in June also makes sense with most schools being out.

Anytime after the 11th would be interesting if they cracked down too hard. What if people get stuck at airports trying to get out, wearing RP shirts? If the media picked that up, it could help the cause.

So, maybe we need a poll...

May 10th or 11th (Real ID goes into affect)
May 17th or 18th (weekend before Memorial Day)
May 31 or June 1 (weekend after Memorial Day)
June 7th or 8th

I'm not savvy enough...how do you do a poll here?

Another question would be, if you decide to go, are you a student, retiree, have kids, etc? That would give us an idea of the base of those attending.

[SeekLiberty]

So, maybe we need a poll...

May 17th or 18th (weekend before Memorial Day)
May 31 or June 1 (weekend after Memorial Day)
June 7th or 8th


I'm good for any of the above dates. But May 17th is my preference.

- SL

[activeaero]

I can't wait. I'll be flying up from Alabama and bringing as many friends as I can afford in terms of plane tickets. :D

[balric]

I think June would be the best time. It is after schools are out and it is the time when more people start going on vacation. It also gives people time to plan and save to go.

[ToyBoat]

May 17th is Armed Forces Day -
May 11th is Mothers day.

[TER]

How about a weekend music festival from July 6,7,8 weekend?

[wildflower]

You guys, before we pick a date - I think we should run it by the campaign, just in case for some reason one of the days is better for Paul's schedule than the other.

It looks like it's down to one of the two June dates, either the 7th or 21st!

(my vote was the constitution day, the 21st, but we should have someone contact Paul!)

[ToyBoat]

I wonder if the Foo Fighters would be willing to do a little concert, aren't they RP fans?

[anaconda]

I'm in for Washington D.C. rally!

Maybe the official campaign can invest a little money on permits if necessary, a big stage and a public address system. A big enough stage to expand if Dr. Paul wants a music fest and lots of bands start signing up. Hey maybe Barry Manilow could toss off a few tunes since he donated to the campaign! But bands might be a distraction and unnecessary. I don't believe MLK had bands at the "I Have A Dream" rally.

[Orat]

I'm cross-posting a short list of prerequisites that seem like a good guide to picking dates for the march. See what you think and add to it if you think of other requirements:

The date of the march SHOULD:
-Be at a time when young people (such a large portion of the Revolution) would be available to attend
-Be far enough in the future to allow people enough time to plan ahead to attend
-Take place prior to the GOP's National Convention in September
-Take place in a time of year when the weather would likely accomodate such an event
-Be checked against as extensive a calendar of events as possible, including sporting events, political summits, entertainment events (award ceremonies, etc), holidays of any kind, "observance week/days/months etc", etc.

The date of the march SHOULD NOT:
-Be on a day coinciding with another holiday or other notable event whereby the media could misdirect and misreport the purpose of our rally
-Be on a day where some other large news event is likely to occur which the media could choose to cover instead (such as a sporting event, etc)
-Interfere with any GOP or electorial events at either the state or federal level.

Please add to this list as it occurs to you so we can find the perfect day.

[devil21]

RP said 3 to 4 months from now. That wipes out April and July. It must be in May or June. How about June 14th? FLAG DAY!

[Sarge]

Just an observation.

June is one of the biggest travel month's. It would be hard for many to even get an airline ticket.

[ChristianAnarchist]

There's May 10th or June 15th, for the following reasons:

May 10, 1775 - The Second Continental Congress convenes in Philadelphia, with John Hancock elected as its president. On May 15, the Congress places the colonies in a state of defense. On June 15, the Congress unanimously votes to appoint George Washington general and commander-in-chief of the new Continental Army.

[acejoca]

I think the day should be the middle of some week. It would seem the idea isn't to be what is most convenient to people or what would be a good day to represent us. The idea is to show that we care so much that we would leave work to show up or we might miss a final to show up. We are talking about a Revolution here. I for one will be there no matter what day it is. I think if we could get people to show up on a Wednesday that would say so much more to the MSM and even to America that we care so much that we found a way out of work or a final or whatever and showed up because it meant that much to us. And if people don’t show because they went to work and people don’t show because they thought their test was more important then that says something in itself. What do you guys think?

And yes I am a student and I work full time.

[KevinDW78]

Can we get John Mayer to be the live entertainment since he's a Ron Paul supporter?

[sb10]

Don't forget, an April 15 march is planned for http://taxday08.com, and http://www.ronpaulmarch.com/ is planning for June 7 (6-7-8). I wish we could see all effort directed toward ONE day.

[Bruno]

Can we get John Mayer to be the live entertainment since he's a Ron Paul supporter?

Sure as hell we can try! Anyone have any connections?

He would draw a huge crowd of people and media just to see him, who would then of course hear the message.

[boethius27]

Heya Mods, this March needs it's own subforum soon please :) :) :) Thanks!

The Americans, however, were not without their own advantages. A vast reservoir of manpower could be drawn upon. For the most part, men preferred short-term enlistments--and many who served came out for a few weeks or months--but they did serve: the best estimates are that over 200,000 participated on the patriot side. General Washington was often short of shoes and powder, but rarely were he and other commanders without men when they needed them most, although at times American leaders had to take into the army slaves, pardoned criminals, British deserters, and prisoners of war. Moreover, Americans owned guns, and they knew how to use them.

[ItsTime]

We need this to happen in June. Some are saying the weekend of June 21st

[Hurricane Bruiser]

STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP. Our boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do, one of these days oh Washington, were marching over you.

[MilitaryDave]

June 21st sounds the best. Schools out! Summer vacation in DC for the whole family! College kids! Warm weather! Hell, US Constitution was ratified!

I think we need to make this march theme about the Constitution. Sure, bring the signs, perform the songs ... but let's recruit and garner excitement based on the MESSAGE. I would love it if 100,000+ additional people showed up for the Constitutional message who never really heard of or understood Ron Paul until that day.

I have been saying this over and over again. Unfortunately all I hear is "this date would be the best fit for my and my bf/gf" or "I can't take off work and the kids have school" Well then I say, "you are not committed to your future and are too busy thinking short term"

[jillian]

I just have to say this. Please listen carefully.

Throughout this entire Revolution certain individuals have hinted at the idea of rebellion. It is imperative that this march NOT be tied into that in any way shape or form. Even if it's just a silly comment. These remarks must be refuted from the beginning. On YouTube right now there are comments leading to this. One person even says they were THINKING of bringing their kids....

I think this march should have the word peaceful or peace in it. Please consider this coming from a mom.

Thanks.

[jillian]

works for me. dr. paul hints at a music festival, does he not?

[JSutter]

Definitely needs to be peaceful. We don't need any idiots acting up like when they chased the Fox news anchor in that mob scene. It just defeats everything we work for.

Also I say reach out to Democrats, Republicans, Independentsm Libertarians, Green Party, etc and make it a day of unity. Tell them if they care about where this country is going to show up and let their heads be counted and their voices heard. Then when they hear Dr. Paul's message it might make the gears in their heads start to turn.

This revolution IS a rebellion of sorts, though it should have never even come this far. A rebellion is not necessarily intended to be violent at all. It is basically a refusal of authority. It doesn't have to be a violent rebellion, and hopefully it never will be.

As someone who has "hinted at the idea" of a violent rebellion however, I just want to say that I think it is inevitable IF a peaceful solution isn't found in the next 10 or so years AND the country continues down this path. I'm only stating my opinion when I say that, and not that I want that.

And i'm really not hinting at any ideas i'm saying that in my mind it is absolutely inevitable if that were the case. In any case, this absolutely does NOT mean that I'd advocate something like this. More war is the second to last thing I want. The last is living as a slave in a country full of them.

I'd agree 100% though that the march not be tied into that idea at all. It carries too many negative connotations. It should be a march for our freedom and an absolute return to our Constitution which helped so much to make this country what it once was. As the constitution is cast aside our country is falling apart at the seams, and it has got to stop.

And I'd be ok with either the 7th or 21st of June I just hope I can make it either way. May try to make it a family vacation :)

this IS the first weekend everyone is out of school too. the only problem is, there is also a HHUUGGEE BBQ that weekend in DC.

BUT it does need to be after the 21st (school is out) and before August.


I nominate either the 6-28 or 7-4.

Personally, i don't think the day needs to have any significance. After this year, it will have its OWN significance.

I wonder if the Granny Warriors will be able to make it?

They will..and if the old smoking bitch is rude to my son again I will let her have it this time. I let her off for some pretty nasty attitude when my son was asking about the monkey's species. She never told us but was just a pure asswipe about it. She ain;t no effing RP ambassador.

There appears to be to different "march" sites.

http://www.ronpaulmarch.com/ calling for 6/7

and

http://www.revolutionmarch.com/ which is undecided on the date.

Which is official?

Just up the I-95 road from me a bit so hell yeah I'm there.

I say April 15th TAX DAY which is a tuesday and get the 6oclock news... or Thomas Jeffersons birthday sunday April 13th.... We dont want to do it on any major holiday because the media will be busy doing other stories. Ron Paul said it should be 3 or 4 months before the convention. Looking at May or April or June.

It is 678 which gives us time to get money together and vacation time, break from schools etc. Plus 6--8 who do we appreciate! Ron Paul Ron Paul rah rah rah!

Ya, I was thinking things like 'Bikers for Ron Paul' for a long haul...
It would be cool to have a caravan going out with RP signs on their cars/vans/motor homes etc. and people can join in along the way.

Cool idea. And biker accumulate to bikers so that would be one roaring crowd rolling into washington.

We shouldn't do it on a specific holiday as in the past.

This march is going to be so magnificent, that it may get its own holiday!

I just have to say this. Please listen carefully.

Throughout this entire Revolution certain individuals have hinted at the idea of rebellion. It is imperative that this march NOT be tied into that in any way shape or form. Even if it's just a silly comment. These remarks must be refuted from the beginning. On YouTube right now there are comments leading to this. One person even says they were THINKING of bringing their kids....

I think this march should have the word peaceful or peace in it. Please consider this coming from a mom.

Thanks.

Our people need to be prepared to take any infiltrators and mark them with blue paint bombs or citizens arrest the clowns and hand them over to the cops. i ain't afraid of no provocateurs. They usually disappear behind police lines. It is not civilians we have to worry about but coordinated police and cointelpro undercover that will cause shit. That is why you nail them with blue pant and hen video track them disappearing behind police lines.

If i could financially afford to do it, I would be there... but i'm not sure i'd have the extra funds for such a trip. :(

Get yer meetup folks to charter a bus together. You can't mss ths. You will kick your own ass every day for the rest of your life if you do. heck..sell the restaurant for the cash:D

There will never be an ideal date. This is not a Revolution of convenience. My third child, first boy, will be born in late May. If the March coincides, I'll have to wait a few days to meet the boy.

See you in D.C.!

[clintontj72]

He actually said in the Alex Jones interview that a Rally would be way easier than a march. A Liberty Rally in the Mall would be awesome!!!!!

If the meet-up caravans, that would work.
Should I bring a paint-ball gun loaded with with blue paint balls?

[Benaiah]

I vote for July 4th.

This was sent through my mee-up group. This would be a day of our own.

Moms for Ron Paul and Libertarian Moms Groups have been kicking around the date: April 19, 2008 (a Saturday).

April 19th 1775: Minutemen Capt John Parker orders not to fire unless fired upon. A shot is fired and the American revolution begins at the Lexington Common. That was the "shot heard round the world"
