Wearing suits to the march?

[ClayTrainor]

I was just looking at some old MLK Photos and almost all of his supporters dressed very nice, and look very professional. I thought maybe we should all look professional for the march... show that we really mean business!

If a large majority of us wear suits at the march on washington do you think that would improve our image? just a thought.

[ladyliberty]

you mean I have to leave my tinfoil hat at home??? :D

[amistybleu]

Absolutely, image is very important in how people perceive you.

[thegr8drronpaul]

whatever you wish - could be VERY hot and stuffy though with ALL the people that will be there :)

[flames2dust77]

so what...the women are supposed to wear dresses? i haven't worn a skirt or a dress in 15 years. ack!

but the photos of the MLK march do look good. but that was at a different time...i dunno if you could get ppl to do this in 2008.

[Agent CSL]

Yes it would improve our image. But also keep in mind it might be very hot that day. We have to dress for the weather.

[autobot]

Best idea ever. That way cannot be dismissed as fringe crazies. damn hippies, naive kids, as easily. People feel different when dressed for success and people respond much differently to people in suits. Its a sign of authority, to many. Like it or not.

[John of Des Moines]

So that would mean leaving my "F%&# Bush" t-shirt at home. Tough choice. :rolleyes:

[thoughtbombing]

All Speakers could wear suits, for sure.

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

I recently attended a very large march in D.C. and I considered wearing a suit but I thank God that I did not not. A suit would be fine for short term walking or if you will be speaking but other than that I would dress as comfortably as possible. We are probably going to be out there for a very long time and standing around for hours on end in a suit is not my idea of fun.

[Mopsus]

Dressing rather smartly aren't you Mr. Anderson? :)

I'm of the opinion that attire in conformance with the "'Average Joe" would more impactfully resonate with the public-at-large and garner greater support and interest.

[FortWorth38]

You would look pretty in what ever you wear.

[theczar1776]

who even owns a suit anymore?

[micahnelson]

We need to be ourselves. Look nice, but don't try to be something you arent.

People who normally wear suits want liberty as well. Lets get some of those wall street types who understand the dollar's collapse to come along.

Lets get those nice little homeschooling families. Lets get vets. Lets get everyone. This should be an open protest of the government with a clear petition of grievances to present to the government in person. The simpler, the better.

1) We oppose the oppressive tax burden placed on American citizens.

2) We oppose unbalanced budgets, which increase debt and weaken our dollar.

3) We oppose nation building and undeclared wars.

4) We support the Restoration of the Constitution as the Law of the Land

Those 4 simple ideas are easily understood and have universal appeal. If we all go down with such a simple unified message- we will get all kinds of dressers there.

just look sharp, why not a summery pants suit?

[Mahkato]

If over 50% of the men wore a tie, I would be duly impressed.

If I go, I will dress well.

[autobot]

Leaders do.

[The Tao Of Bill]

Well the vietnam hippies dressed in tiedie. I don't think attire really matters much as long as you don't wear a shirt that says "95% of blacks are criminal"

[FindLiberty]

suits OR thongs ???

I say, suits.

[billjarrett]

who even owns a suit anymore?

I own three. But I think every man should usually have at least one that fits. You never know when you will need one for job interview/wedding/funeral/etc

[autobot]

Well the vietnam hippies dressed in tiedie. I don't think attire really matters much as long as you don't wear a shirt that says "95% of blacks are criminal"

And they are still mocked. And it still has a negative image. If you want to piss off the police and get gassed before you even make a stand, then wear some tie dye. I have been to a major demonstration and it is scary as hell no matter how peaceful.

Yes the rest of us should dress nice. But you tangent4rp, should definately wear that fetching attire!

[billjarrett]

MLK was a different time, where suits were fairly common to be seen..

I would say theres nothing wrong with slacks and a pressed button up shirt for men though. Alot of businesses that were traditionally suits have been doing this alot lately. Tie preferred, but not mandatory (Nothing I hate more than a tie on a hot day).

Sorry on the womens end, I don't wear your clothes so I can't comment on what would be ok.

[tamor]

That was another time -- the suits were used to show the worth of the individual - the idea of red, white and blue would fit into everyone's wardrobe better --

[thoughtbombing]

And lapel pins, etc...

[ladyliberty]

Military Supporters should wear their dress uniforms!

Lawyers should wear their Shark Suits!

Off-duty Police should wear their Uniforms (if that is legal)

We are a very diverse group of people from all walks of life - and we want the world to know it! Don't wear your every day bumming around the house casual wear - dress like you are SOMBODY IMPORTANT!

Because you are - you are an American Voter/Taxpayer!

There are usually 7 or 8 guys wearing this sort of suit at every event I have been to this past year!

No. Illegal, against the UCMJ, if I recall.

You cannot participate in political activity while in uniform. However, I would be encouraged to see them there... NOT in uniform, because I don't want to see armed guards at a rally I am at.

I guess you've never had to persuade anybody. Image is crucial to what needs to be accomplished. People should look their best. Like a job interview. Of course, be yourself. Just Dress like you are going on National TV( Because we hope we are)

[John of Des Moines]

I say, suits.

Actually I say gentlemen wear suits and the ladies wear thongs and even go Lady Godiva. I'll bring some horses if there is interest and I'll even play horsey with a couple. :rolleyes:

[amy31416]

No, tinfoil hats go very well with a suit ;)

Actually, I think dress casual would be good, you don't want to be too uncomfortable since it will likely last for hours and you'll be walking a lot.

[ladyliberty]

Red White and Blue it is - Blue Suits, Red Ties, white shirts - will look great on television

I would do the lady godiva thing but I am afraid my birthday suit needs ironing!;):D

[CelestialRender]

Suits were much more commonly worn in that day, by your average working stiff.

Regardless of that, it is a good idea. However, omitting the suit coat for men may be a good idea, as most are very dark (or black), and it will be summer.

Regardless, dressing up nicely and not having mo-hawks would generally be a good idea.

[amy31416]

http://bigrednetwork.com/archives/images/2007/10/Blues-Brothers.jpg

It's 106 miles to DC, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

yeah...i'm thinking i have since i worked in sales for 5 years. i'm not going to a job interview in DC and my son won't be wearing a suit either. wear suits if you think it's a must...just don't get mad when the majority of us show up looking like regular people who have children. 8 to 12 hours in a suit, outside in crappy humidity...if you can take it...props to you; you're a better person than I am. Have fun=) I'll be the breezy one not sweating and still getting my point across..."I support Freedom"

[CareerTech1]

Everyone Has To Wear A Tux And Formal Gown!!!

[Peregrin]

Darnit...I was going to wear my hippie jeans, peasant shirt, and Birkenstocks... :(

Seriously, though--if you want to wear a suit, go ahead. Lil' old homemaker me will be wearing something more comfortable and appropriate to my occupation. :)

Suit up!

How about red white or blue ties for the guys.


T-shirts are not allowed in so many places, lets avoid them. Same with blue jeans. Lets dress as if this was a very important event.

[flames2dust77]

Regardless, dressing up nicely and not having mo-hawks would generally be a good idea.

lol. hmmm, my son has a mohawk. and i'm guessing some anarchist will show up. alot of them sport mohawks. as long as they're not violent...I don't see the problem.

why is it on a forum where we promote freedom and ppl being individuals....we all of the sudden want to tell ppl how to dress and look? this is just mind boggling to me.

I say..if you're paying your way to get up there...you can look however you want to look. That's no one's concern. If you want to be comfortable...then be that. :cool:

I'll dress like I normally dress - except I'll wear jeans instead of shorts - button up collar shirt, nice shoes, etc.

I think as long as people aren't dressing totally crappy or wearing crazy offensive clothing, most people will be dressed well. I doubt that we can really get the word here though... I mean, we're talking about a million man march, and I don't think even a fraction of that checks the forums...

[billjarrett]

Mohawk tied back in a pony tail with a little gel makes a little more presentable.. Well long ones anyways...

Mine used to be a little over a foot long back in the day, and thats what I did when I had to get dressed up for something. Not great, but better...

But that was a long time ago, before I had to get a job..

Prom dress is much more awesome. LOL you are still dressed very nice, hair and makeup done, jewelry, and I bet your nails are done, too. People tend to look pretty ratty at rallys and then get mocked and dismissed. This is largely don't with this statement "Rag Tag" or "kids" etc.

You will look crazy out there in a suit all day long, unless you are speaking. Back when MLK was around, that was a different time. You look at people 20 years earlier than that and every one would wear hats everywhere they went. Times have changed.

Suits are making a comeback in business, people sure wear them to work around here(Vegas)

Granted, blue collar workers don't, but the powerful people do. Even to the hottest nightclubs, like Pure and Light and Tao or wherever. Men in suits don't wait in the two hour long line, they just go in.

If a large majority of us wear suits at the march on washington do you think that would improve our image? just a thought.

Somebody may have said this already, but what are we, the Nation of Islam? Can't we go casual/family style?

[Benaiah]

so what...the women are supposed to wear dresses? i haven't worn a skirt or a dress in 15 years. ack!

but the photos of the MLK march do look good. but that was at a different time...i dunno if you could get ppl to do this in 2008.

I wear suits almost every day, and my woman wears nothing but skirts and dresses.

Women have to wear full burkas.

[amy31416]

By the way fellas, many of us women find that look rather sexay :cool:

Suit good too.

[dax702]

dressing up for this is not important. We're the people. If you want to wear a suit in hot, humid east coast weather, go for it. Don't forget people associate "the suits" with the men in power too..

[AtomiC]

All the people in the Ron Paul entourage should definitely wear suits as they usually do.

As for all of the Ron Paul supporters that will be in attendance, it will be fine for them to dress casually.

[amy31416]

I recently attended a very large march in D.C. and I considered wearing a suit but I thank God that I did not not. A suit would be fine for short term walking or if you will be speaking but other than that I would dress as comfortably as possible. We are probably going to be out there for a very long time and standing around for hours on end in a suit is not my idea of fun.

QFT. My suits are all Italian antique wool..not cheap shit...and black. I would be soaked anytime after june 1st. I am coming in standard full regalia like always. With light pants and a light shirt, velvet revolutionary riding jacket in tow in case the evenings get chill. I will bet I am more "dressy" than the suit guys. The hat is museum replica dove grey tricorn and cost as much as a cheap suit. I get alot of request for photos. I got mentioned on Air America here as The Revolutionary war guy with the Ron Paul crew.. The fucking democratic gatekeepers even liked me:)

Stop with the borg confoprmity as we are birds in an ecosytem and not a den of golem clones. I end by saying I disagree with this idea on practcval grounds and disagree on grounds of the right of the individual to epress themselves. the talk I see about hippies and the like is disgusting and prejudicial. I once saw a pic in the lobby of a famous Beverly Hills hotel. It was a picture of a guy with long hair and some facial whiskers. the caption read "Be kind to this man. He may have just earned a millipn dollars". Take note mouthpieces.

My Apologies. However it was a mere suggestion of a powerful march that was about ideas and had a close relationship to what we are all doing.

[John of Des Moines]

Masks are a big no! First, it's against the law in many states and FEDs will make it a federal case under the Civil Rights Act of 1871. IIRC, the Act makes it illegal to go upon the highways to deprive another of their civil rights. They will make it out as if we're trying to "scare" others not to exercise their right to travel (Old Lady: "I saw these people in masks and thought they were going to assault me") and thus deprive others of their civil rights. Masks are a very, very, bad idea.

[mkeller]

I was wondering if anyone would bring the Guy Fawkes masks up. :) I rather agree with you about scaring people, but I think one person, at least, should go as V . . .

Maybe Jimmy2e? ;)

Well I see this as more of a sales convention in the sense that we are selling an idea (or ideas), so I'm going the more conservative route. Most of the audience we need to capture is conservative.

I'm a fan of us coming to this march naked, so to speak, and just speaking to the ideas of this campaign and being able to sell our ideas-ie, the truth. I don't want to turn anyone off with scary masks and costumes. I mean, we could say "screw them" and all move to Montana, but I don't think it's come to that yet.

We could possibly have a real effect and do so peacefully. I'd prefer that over the alternative.

Yeah, even people who are "liberals" will make negative comments if the event has a contingent of what the average conservative would call "freaks." Not to disparage people who march to a different drummer but with the March the drummer is Ron Paul and we need to promote the return to constitutional government as a mainstream idea.

I do not, however, have testicles. Ovaries are fully intact though, thanks for your concern.

I'm not taking my gun to DC though, it will stay in my car outside of DC when I go in. DC is about the message, not taking over some federal agency. It's a peaceful rally/march and it's not appropriate, in my opinion, of course. Acts of civil disobedience do not require lethal force.

Protecting yourself and your home is another story.

[Andrew76]

A wonderful idea! And you don't even have to wear a suit. If you've got a decent pair of pants, a dress shirt and a sport coat, that'd do fine too I think.

The point is this: it's no longer just a worry, as in, "Well, if we don't look nice and be polite and informed, the media that shows up, and people who're watching from home may write us off as crazy."

That's not the problem. The problem is that the MSM is actively and quite desperately trying to paint Ron Paul and his supporter as fringe. They've figured out what works and now they're hammering away at it.

If there's 500 Ron Paul supporters who're all average Americans, the MSM will hunt down the 1 guy with a 9/11 truth t-shirt and a handmade sign saying, "Legalize Drugs!" And focus solely on him. It's simply a more interesting story for the MSM. They don't know how else to engage us.

Make these jerks take us seriously! We will look sharp, be informed, and represent this movement as the superior choice that it is. I'd say, whatever your idea of "nice clothes" is, do that. But hey, a sport coat is a cinch, and hell you can wear it with jeans.

Another point nobody seems to have realized - if so many people are insistent on having this march on July 4th when there will be so many ordinary sheeple there in their torn off denim short shorts and tee shirts with NASCAR and Beer logos on them, what better way to stand out from everyone else there to have several hundred thousand people in suits?

[KevinDW78]

Oh, and one more thing -

I am TIRED of reading people bitching about how uncomfortable it would be to wear a suit outside in the summer!!

If that's how much of a weak panzy you are then what the hell business do YOU have fighting a REVOLUTION?!?!?!

Kings march in 1963 was held in AUGUST people!!! And every one of them wore their SUNDAY BEST - suits, dresses, and the like. If THEY did it, WHY THE EFF CAN'T YOU?!?!?!

Hmmm. Not "everyone" is in a suit here:

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/456/1963marchlincolnmemoriavv2.jpg


Hey, asshat. Who the fuck are you to come off questioning anyone's right to be involved in this movement? Last time I checked were not in physical combat in our GOTVs, so your shitty little statement questioning anyone's "business" in this movement and their not wanting to be bothered by the heat holds no water.

And did you ever consider the possibility that some people have a problem with heat prostration? I have this problem. The reason I was separated from the Marine Corps. Yet I will be there, but not in a suit.

Don't you ever fucking question anyone's resolve in this. It's The Message, not how fucking well-dressed we are!

[gilliganscorner]

Be yourself.

Dress whatever is comfortable, and don't wear ripped clothes.

Why don't we all wear the same T- marking the event?

For example. If we choose the T-Shirt, we could have the front say "Ron Paul for President" on top, followed by a nice picture of RP, then below that say "Because we want our Country back!"

On the back of those T-Shirts, we would have:

I AM JUST LIKE YOU!

Name: <First name only>
Occupation: <what you do, not where you work>
Children: <First name(s) only>

Or whatever you wanted to personalize the back with. No swearing. Nothing rude. The point is not to be seen as a fringe element, right?

You can wear a suit if you want to, but if too many of us show up in one, it'll remind everyone of Agent Smith from the Matrix. Remember, most people think the Matrix is fiction ;-)

Depends on how hot it is outside.

[ladyliberty]

No body is asking anybody to go out and rent a tux or something - so relax! By the same token no one is asking anyone to burn their bras either!

We want to appear as respectable people in a respectable place, as a show of respect to the leader of this movement the Honorable Dr. Ron Paul.

Look at this way - Ron Paul wears suits and ties to every single event - have you noticed this? He wears this as a show of respect to US, his supporters. Even when the weather is warm and the stage lights are hot - he wears a suit and tie and a jacket. If he gets too warm he may take the jacket off and loosen his tie a bit or perhaps roll up his sleeves. How would it have been if he had shown up at the debates wearing jeans and a tee and a raggety pair of running shoes?

It is a deep lack of respect to Doctor Paul if you show him any less courtesy than what he has shown to you. That is just my opinion as an avid supporter myself.

So stop whining already - even the Founding Fathers knew it was important to dress correctly for the occassion - they didn't even have AC back in those days for pete's sake!

So take a few deep breaths and relax. If I can can find a good ironing board, I might even go get my birthday suit pressed just for the occasion! :D ;)

Hmmm. Not "everyone" is in a suit here:

Hey, asshat. Who the fuck are you to come off questioning anyone's right to be involved in this movement? Last time I checked were not in physical combat in our GOTVs, so your shitty little statement questioning anyone's "business" in this movement and their not wanting to be bothered by the heat holds no water.

And did you ever consider the possibility that some people have a problem with heat prostration? I have this problem. The reason I was separated from the Marine Corps. Yet I will be there, but not in a suit.

Don't you ever fucking question anyone's resolve in this. It's The Message, not how fucking well-dressed we are!


Thank you TommyzDad! Sometimes Rondroids need to be put in there proper place, but I love the enthusiasm just misplaced.

This will be my suit:

No body is asking anybody to go out and rent a tux or something - so relax! By the same token no one is asking anyone to burn their bras either!

We want to appear as respectable people in a respectable place, as a show of respect to the leader of this movement the Honorable Dr. Ron Paul.

Your limitations and your redefining what is respect or disrespect is to me very disrespectful of the very ideas that Ron Paul represents. Who, by the way, is very pro-individual libertarian. Looks to me you're the square peg in the round hole here.

[ClayTrainor]

yup, you win, lol

[Dequeant]

Well, regardless of the individuals crying about whatever......

I'll be wearing a suit. They peg us as "crazies" and "extremists". Wearing a suit and dressing like you're going to a meeting will do alot to subdue that. MLK supporters wore suits for the same reason, plus, it was highly expected that the police would use water cannons and riot teams to push them back. It looks bad when the police are beating up on peaceful individuals in suits.

[Brown Sapper]

Even though I want to wear a suit, I'm kind of worry it will get out of hand and maybe I should take my jungle boots and gas mask just instead.

well said, i agree with this.

I for one will be wearing a suit, i hope alot of people join me.

It is possible to get suits with very thin material for the summer.

Save it for Dr. Laura "asshat". Walk into a job interview for a position as corporate director with your "not in a suit" and see how many interviewers give a rats ass about your "message" of why they should hire you. This has EVERYTHING to do with impression if you intend for it to have ANY effect on anyone OUTSIDE the march.

[tommyzDad]

You want some cheese with your whine? Oh and most excellent use of the English language, I am sure your grammer teacher is quite proud!

That the best you have? Two asshats in one thread. What are the chances? And list for me your qualifications to put those dick skinners you call hands on a keyboard and type any of that?

We are not talking about a job inteview, potatohead, but a march. For my part, I'll be well-dressed.

No No! wear the F*%k Bush t-shirt with the suit! That would be cool!

[ClayTrainor]

I'll be with you. Hopefully I can scrape together some cash to get a lighter colored summer suit, but if not I'll be in the normal business blue or black. Starched white shirt and suitable tie of course. I might even up the ante on you and do french cuffs. :eek:

French cuffs are hot. I don't care what anyone says ;)

[ladyliberty]

well I am steering clear of any ratty looking foul mouthed men who think they are representing MY support for Ron Paul when I get to DC - I promise you that! I dont want to be anywhere near them when the beat downs begin!

[DahuiHeeNalu]

Im a hippy and i will be wearing my hippy clothes fuck a suite just like fuck a uniform.... Im tired of all this you gotta be this and that looks to even show up at a GOP meeting. A guy from our group didn't dress up and got nominated.

Suites are main stream and aren't change there the New World Order's Uniform of im better then you tactics!

Well, if you want to join our contingent you are most welcome to come tag along. Look for the pink tri-cornered hats. That'll be us, the gay patriots.:D

[Pauls' Revere]

I was just looking at some old MLK Photos and almost all of his supporters dressed very nice, and look very professional. I thought maybe we should all look professional for the march... show that we really mean business!

If a large majority of us wear suits at the march on washington do you think that would improve our image? just a thought.

Cool we would look like Jake and Elwood Blues of "The Blues Brothers!"

[Pauls' Revere]

What looks really nice in a large crowd is when everyone wears the same color shirt, say Red, or Blue. This monochromatic effect can be often seen at College football games and soccer games. Pretty effective.

Great Idea! whats the offical shirt color?

[Melissa]

Great Idea! whats the offical shirt color?

well i say just make it red white or blue

[Arek]

I think the option of Red, White or Blue shirts would work. It would look like a giant american flag marching from an aerial shot.

I like the idea itself of looking similar. But regarding suits, at these times I guess it was more common for people to wear suits than it is today. I mean it was part of the fashion of this period.

[JohnnyWrath]

You'll be lucky if I even wear a shirt....it will probably be 80-90 degrees and hopefully sunny...

You guys can wear what you want. I will probably find a flag T-shirt or something.

[defe07]

Would anyone suggest that we go marching to DC dressed up as Guy Fawkes or George Washington? :D

[flames2dust77]

eeeeeeeeeeeeek! there was already a massive disagreement about the whole Guy Fawkes thing.

So the possiblity of going to DC dressed up as American Revolutionaries still can happen? :D

[Coola]

I say all men wear suits. C'mon its a worthy sacrifice.

As for women, wear your birthday suits. ;)

[nodope0695]

I don't know about suits...remember, MLK march was in another era...men wore suits and hats, women dresses and gloves.

I think casual would be okay...especially considering Memorial Day could be HOT and HUMID in Washington D.C. Its about the message, and the number of people who support it, NOT what they choose to wear.

[Signzit]

Bring all the water you can carry! wear it, if you have to
