and pushing it with it's own header.

[mrchubbs]

This is my favorite date thus far. Love it.

[FarSide]

I love it.

I wanna see some inspiring movies on you tube by the end of the day tomorrow :)

[Malum Prohibitum]

Big thumbs down. No symbolism. Will Fail.

[Airborn]

this is it, perfect date. Date doesn't have to be on a history importance date. This is good, it's on a weekend, far enough ahead to plan well..

[Kotin]

im in, i will fly down with four friends.

[Energy]

June is a sweet spot. School is out and plenty of time to promote and save up.

6/7/8 is GREAT! (June 7, 1893 - Gandhi's first act of civil disobedience.)

It will have symbolism after we have something to do with it.

If we have it on a holiday that's celebrated in D.C., we will just be ignored and will not stand out. We need a day completely to ourselves.

I support 6-7-8

[burningfur]

I concur, great date.

Let fly the dogs of war...





Let's roll boys. :cool:

[Malum Prohibitum]

Date doesn't have to be on a history importance date. .

Tell that to the graveyard of unfulfilled moneybombs we put on random days or on days not clearly associated with liberty historically.

We need the equivalent of a 10M dollar day to pull this off.

Independence day is that day.

[Ara825]

I vote yes.

sweet, that makes it better. ALL IN FAVOR SAY "I"

[ronpaulhawaii]

I support 7-8

[mrchubbs]

We could do some interesting marketing for this date...

Just plain signs posted EVERYWHERE with:

06-07-08

Would be great.

[FortWorth38]

6-7-8 Dance Revolution Step & Slide with Pride

[QCB79]

Every city across the country should have a march for Ron Paul on the same day at the same damn time!. THAT would make an impact

[Trigonx]

looks like 6-7-08 is gonna be the date.

[mrchubbs]

Every city across the country should have a march for Ron Paul on the same day at the same damn time!. THAT would make an impact

Disagree... EVERYONE needs to come to DC. That will have an impact.

[RonPaulVolunteer]

Big thumbs down. No symbolism. Will Fail.

Hey, we CREATE the symbolism around here.

[farkas2029]

Don't forget also on June 7th

Richard Henry Lee's Resolution, which proposed "That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States"

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

So I vote yes to 6-7-8!

[nbhadja]

Great idea, very catchy. 6-7-8!

[texasbelle]

Sounds like a plan!!!

[ASayre]

In honor of Gandhi.

[mrchubbs]

This should be a day without historical significance....

Because... WE can make history.

After that day, it will THEN have historical significance.

Future Wikipedia Entry:

06/07/08 - True Liberty Day (March in DC)

Or whatever.

[Razmear]

In honor of Gandhi.

Does that mean we can't bring our guns :D

[..PAUL4PRES..]

Why not the day of the shot heard around the world. More signifigance.

[PauliticsPolitics]

it really should be:

6/7/08, Who do we appreciate?

Come on guys, get your stresses & cadences correct!

1______2__+____3_______4
six____se-ven__oh______eight

1___+__2__+____3___+___4
Who_do_we_a-___ppreci_-ate

let's get our iambs correct!

add RON PAUL after "Who do we appreciate" and it's a deal :)

[michael6186]

6/7/8 is the best date IMO. This will be huge!

[mikeycapz]

I endorse 6-7-8

[Trigonx]

6/7/08 is the most logical weekend to get the best turnout, College is done, most schools k-12 should be done, and its vacation time :)

[sidsquidrick]

why not 7/4? Our second "independence day"

[Razmear]

why not 7/4? Our second "independence day"

Too much other stuff going on, and falls outside of the 3 to 4 month timeframe set by Ron.

6/7/8

[Agora]

I endorse 6-7-8 sounds great :cool:

[Harbinger]

Keep in mind, any day that is already a major recognized holiday, like July 4th, will be hell to book flights and get hotel rooms. The airports and roads will also be packed with holiday travellers.

[InTheoryTV]

If it has to be a weekend day... then my vote is for 6-7-08

[EddieJJames]

Another big thumbs down for June whatever, 2008. And I agree a holiday in D.C. not so good.... Date needs to be significant, though. I vote "Theft" Day, April 15th.

What could be better?

[colecrowe]

I love skeet's idea for the June 21, 1788 (http://www.brainyhistory.com/events/1788/june_21_1788_44185.html) U.S. Constitution goes into effect as New Hampshire is 9th to ratify.

Ratification of the Constitution.

A Constitution March on Sat., Jun 21, 2008!

get this movie!:

For an earlier one if that one is too late:


May 25, The day the Constitutional Convention Convened!: (a Sunday--the day before Memorial Day Holiday): May 25, 1787 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1787) - In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania), delegates convene a Constitutional Convention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Convention) to write a new Constitution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution) for the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States). George Washington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington) presides.

It's more than 90 days away. It's in the middle of a three day weekend, but not on a holiday. It's about the Constitution--about taking the first step in creating it. It's after the kids are out of college.

eb I'm pretty sure guns are completely illegal to own in DC. Kinda funny our nation's capitol doesn't allow people to practice their 2nd amendment right. Go figure.


Anyway I agree that any holiday would be horrible. We will not stand out at all. People will think oh look a bunch of people are marching for July 4th or oh look people are marching for our vets! We want people to say "Wait what? Why are they marching? Oh? Ron Who? Ron Paul? Who's He? Freedom? Peace? Free Market? Sign me up!"

Ron Paul was talking about that very thing in his Texas Straight Talk column today. http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2008/tst021008.htm

I like it!!! 6-7-8

We DON'T need a historical significance the MOVEMENT is our own!!! Guys if we do it right this will be a march remembered in the history books!!

[Truefiction]

The Gahndi thing is great! 6/7/08 is the perfect date for a march on Washington! I think we should be emphasising the message of peace here, for it is in the message of peace we have the most allies. Our country has shown, in its recent past, a proclivity towards peace marches. The fact is people are fed up about this War! We all know its wrong and our government has responded with "tough luck." If we go to Washington and demand an end to this unconstitutional war we very well might get one million people...

[softballqueen1]

School is out for SOME. I'm a teacher in Texas ( Ron's Home State). Even though it's a weekend.....we're not quite out of school yet.:( I'd really want to go, but it would be super difficult to fly for one day----especially since my sister and family would likely go as well and it would be good to spend time with them too? Grrrrrrr!

You must've just arrived here with the morning crew. At first most of us liked the 7th, but then it turns out there is a festival going on that whole week, it's gay pride week in DC and there will be 200,000 people there. We don't want to be overshadowed by another event and also, many parents won't want to take young children there during a gay pride festival.

Also, as others have said, not all schools are out that early. So now, many of us have gone for June 21st, the day the constitution was legalized. Also, the longest day of the year, and ALL schools are out by then. :)
