FYI, What else happened on April 19?

Waco fire, Oklahoma City bombing, so it might not be a good day

I agree. And April is SO soon. Weekend, summer, awesome memorable date.

A lot of people just might be moving their weddings to the white house lawn :)

A March on Washington is just what we need.

Get April out of your heads. BAD BAD FORUM.

You guys are forgetting the biggest portion of Ron Paul Supporters and the ones most likely to show up to this march. College kids. Colleges kids are not going to be doing ANY traveling in april. I guarantee it. Why? Finals.

YES! Please let this rest. Do you want 10,000 people to attend or do you want 100,000 people to attend???

I like Saturday April 19th. The day the American Revolution began.

On April 19, 1775, British General Thomas Gage dispatched 700 British troops commanded by Lt. Col. Francis Smith to Concord, Massachusetts, 16 miles northwest of Boston, to seize munitions that the Patriots had been stockpiling. Word of the British departure from Boston was quickly spread by Paul Revere in his famous ride, and by the time the British reached the village green at Lexington, through which they had to pass, they found 70 Minutemen waiting for them under the command of Capt. John Parker . When ordered by the British to disperse, The Shot Heard Round the World was fired and the American Revolution was begun.

6/7/8 - The Declaration of Independence was presented to the continental congress...


1776 - Richard Henry Lee presents the "Lee Resolution" to the Continental Congress
From Wikipedia.

More on that thing...

Course...

I think that'd be a good day to present a PEOPLE'S resolution - dissolving their consent of the criminal governance against their will...

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:


The day the Constitutional Convention Convened!:

A possible suggestion: May 25 (a Sunday--the day before Memorial Day Holiday): 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.
