Update

*We now have 20 states with either planned participation in the August 26th nationally coordinated event or in the planning stages. For a list go to http://www.RonPaulRadio.US/allamericawalk.html and see the list at the right hand side of the page.

* We had a great teleconference on Saturday and 4 more states joined the list on the call. The next teleconference will be Tuesday at 5 PM Pacific, 7 PM Central and 8 PM Eastern. Dial-in Number: 1-712-432-2600, Participant Access Code: 26447

* If you have planned or are planning an activity in "Support of Ron Paul's Freedom Message", PLEASE put it on your calendar on your meetup group and email us asap with a link to the calendar entry so we can include that on our list of participating states. This helps us build momentum and gives us a better profile as we do outreach to media.

Examples of planned activities:

*Please note that although this is being referred to as a "Walk", some groups are looking at other creative forms of participation other than "walking". And that's great (though walking a long distance for a candidate does make a particular statement).

*There's a great video of Kelly Halldorson's walk which inspired this whole thing. Must see! If one person can do so much, what can hundreds or thousands do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyIQTsBu2C4


Get Involved

Here's a few things you can do to help make this event a success.

1. Get Organized. We only have a week. If you don't have an event planned for the 26th, throw something together right away and put it on your calendar. If you plan something and get the word out, most of the time people will just show up. If you already have another event previously planned, maybe consider adapting it in such a way as to make it an event associated with this national effort. Just go for it!

2. Spread the word! Take a look at the list of states. If your state is not on the list, please send an email (maybe use the text on the web page) to the meetup organizer's and anyone you know in your state and get your state on board! If your state is on board, get involved with the group that is planning the activity. And please do outreach to the meetup organizers of the states adjacent to yours if they are not already on board. Thanks! Please take these actions right away. If you are not sure what to do or want to help with the outreach effort, email us at ronpaulradio@sbcglobal.net and we'll get you started. And just email and call everyone you know and get them involved and get them to attend your activity! Also, try to get info about this event out on blogs, message boards and such.

3. Outreach to the Media. If you know how to do outreach to the national media, please let us know. We need someone to captain that effort. For this particular walk, we might do better to target local TV, radio and newspapers as well as blogs and online media. Develop a strategy for outreach to your local media for your group. A Press Release is being prepared and will be sent out for you to use.

4. Call it in to Ron Paul Radio. Call into Ron Paul Radio with Steven Vincent to report your plans and help build the energy for the event on the 26th. Call in number: 1-866-582-9933

5. Ideas? Got a great idea for the event or how to promote/organize it? Share it with us by email and/or call it in to the show and/or the teleconference on Tuesday.


Suggestions

-Call the Campaign HQ and request some of the great new "slim jims" that they have...the primary theme is "End the War!" and it is good general purpose material.
-Try to have some signs and banners that refer to "Support for the Freedom Message" so we have a unified theme to our activities
-Take lots of pictures and video for post event promotion. Let's create and album/slide show and lots of YouTubes!
-Write your own articles about your event and conduct your own audio/video interviews of participants and send these materials to the media. Give them something to work with and they just might use it!

HAVE FUN with this! Let's get out there and wake America up to the FREEDOM MESSAGE and show them that we are for real and not just an internet virus!


Yours in support of Ron Paul for President,

I like it. Nice job.

Come join it the tele-conference...ther are so many cool stories of what different people are doing. One walk will go throught the area George Washinton marched and another one in Texas will end up at a Ron Paul speaking engagement...Hopefully everyone is "running" with contacting the Media!!!!

We have also begun planning for a trek across the country. Details are not quite available yet, however here are a few hints....

The Route: http://tinyurl.com/2wjoy8
This is still being worked on but this map gives a general Idea what areas we plan to pass through.

When? At this point we plan to leave in the fall, and take about 4 months to make the trip.

How? We are going to hopefully use e-bikes or bicycles for most of the trip. We will also walk some section.

Support.... We need it! If your in a area along the route let us know! We want groups that can assist with various things. Also we still are looking for someone that can provide a support vehicle, this would be a Van or RV that can carry supplies along the route.

We should have more details in a few weeks. If you have any ideas, comments, questions let me know via the PM.
