Step Two - An idea whose time has come
*Decide on your cause and be specific. Make sure you are focused on the message you want to send to those watching.
*Create a symbol that represents your movement
*Name that demonstration!
*Create a core concept that can be expressed in seven words and put it on everything you publish. For example:

Ron Paul's March For Freedom
that's what it is right?...no need for fancy names
Everyone has been talking about the Constitution and I think that is a good idea. But I think the subject is a little dry and sounds a little old fashioned.
What about an anti war protest?
If I, or we could be part of something I think an antiwar movement would be an incredibly honorable thing to do. It would be covered by the media most likely because it is not "our" niche idea. It could be joined by other parties, candidates, other countries citizens. Hell anyone could come and listen or speak.
If we could get other candidates for President, Congress to take a stand and to see that a large voting bloc would support them...
If we could limit future wars and end the current ones...
I was thinking that perhaps it could be spun a bit into a celebration rather than a political activist type of rally/march.
Sort of a giant celebration of liberty and the movement that Ron Paul has inspired: like a giant party for all that we have accomplished.
We could focus on getting those we like to call "Ron Paul Republicans" to be the main speakers in addition to RP. It is these individuals that will be carrying the torch of liberty for the days and years to come.
Of course, any media attention and high numbers would be wonderful. And including music and other entertainment is essential as well. It needs to be a serious day, but also a fun day.
But if we paint it as a "Celebration of Liberty" as the main theme the political action aspect will take care of itself.
Maybe we can start a "Celebrate Liberty PAC" :)
Just some thoughts.
Anti Lobbyists Protest. Get the Lobbuists out. That is a message that no person could argue with!
An American Celebration
Celebrate America
Hope For America Celebration
I don't think a bunch of us marching and listening to music and speakers is going to spark a revolution in this country.
This march needs a clear mission objective that meets the goals of the Ron Paul Revolution.
If the rally is on a Saturday, then many of us should show up on Friday when the Government offices are open and use our Right to Petition Our Grievances to the appropriate Government Servants of the People.
I'm not talking about anything disruptive, but if we all dropped by our Congressman's office and took a few minutes of their time or dropped off a list of concerns we might make some headway. Also setting up picket lines at certain agencies might be appropriate.
I'm not sure what the mission objective should be, and I'm probably not the best one to choose it, but we need to see this march on Washington as more than just a get together where we can hang out and listen to cool music.
If we are going to gather together en masse, then we need to accomplish more than just having a great weekend.
my 23 cents.

I am just checking on whether or not Revolution March is going to be the official title of the march. I know right now the official website is revolutionmarch.com but I really believe that this should be changed.
We all know what we mean why we say this is a Revolution but unfortunately the rest of the population doesn't. Most people associate revolution with violence and radicals. I think it will be similar to the way people viewed Ron Paul's comments on Fascism. Fascism is not equal to Hitler just as Revolution is not equal to violence but most people don't know that.
I just thought about this now because I was thinking of ways to promote this. A newspaper ad promoting a "Revolution March" could be construed as being negative or inciting violence.
I don't think that Revolution is a word deserving of a negative stigma but nevertheless it has one. We would be much better off with something which everyone can find positive.
I am thinking the march should be about showing our support for Dr. Paul - that is should be a Dr. Paul rally in as much as he represents where we want our country to go. I have this fear that if we march or rally under the banner of something as nebulous to the American mind as "liberty" or "the Constitution" or "the rule of law" - which may be very specific in their meaning for many of us, they are abstractions for the rest of America and our impact will be lost. I mean, suppose we get media attention with half a million people and the media starts to ask us question and we say something like we are marching for liberty - what is that going to mean to the rest of America?
