Will Dr. Paul Headline The Largest Tea Party Yet (912 Project)?

[IPSecure]

Just saw Beck state that he would be covering the 912 Project Tea Parties nationwide, with the largest in DC on 9/12.

Can we get Dr. Paul to headline?

Ron, Rand, and Schiff need to be a part of this - fiat dollars to donuts says turnout will be HUGE for these tea parties (Beck is promoting it and will be covering it live), our guys have the right message and the crowd will be ready to hear it.

I'm weary about media-sponsored events; however much I think Dr. Paul would be able to conduct it well, I also worry about the "right-wing extremist" label that seems to be floating around at tea parties.

Though, it's not the first time he's been called an extremist.

I would not worry about it. Principle over image imo. Stand up for what is right not for what looks good.

it would be great if he did headline it, convert some peeps, hope ron paulers are there!

[dannno]

Ya it's a thin line.. I'm not a big fan of the concept behind the 912 project, but if he can go in and convert people to the message about the Fed and maybe even foreign policy then that could be positive.

Well, (http://www.dailypaul.com/node/103089#comment-1128718)

On August 13th, 2009 liberalnurse (http://www.dailypaul.com/user/11590) says:

my two cents. I decided to attend a 912 tea party meeting. There is a large membership and mybe 60 or more at the meetings. It was different to say the least. I kept telling myself that Liberty is a big tent and there's room for all. I needed to focus on what brings us together. I don't know.

They have a different mindset. They discussed what Beck and Rush said on their radio show that day. They talked about Palin. They think Rick Santelli is responsible for the tea party idea. Ron Pauls name wasn't mentioned and I didn't mention him. Somewhat superficial on the issues. Good people, energetic, nice but just not my cup of "tea." Not sure if I'll go back. I found myself agitated and I'm not sure why.

I then went on the 912dc.org website and read some comments there. Ron Paul was mentioned as a speaker and the replies were they didn't want this to become a Ron Paul event.


So, it is going to be a Palin event?

That would be nice.

Certain issues are used to keep us divided very effectively though, like 9/11 stuff, anarchy vs. minarchy, the birth certificate thing, Beck hate/love, support of other politicians etc.

I bet it'll be Romney, Gingrich or another establishment hack they want to set up for 2012.

Scores Killed, Hundreds Injured as Para-Military
Extremists Riot in Boston Area

National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a paramilitary extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.

Speaking after the clash Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.

The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed widespread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons. Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”

Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans. During a tense standoff in Lexington ’s town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.

Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces overmatched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor has also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.

p.s. this happened in 1775

Ron Paul does not need to headline this event. He just needs to be on the list to speak. History is full of examples where a randomly scheduled speaker shows up and delivers a stellar speech and springboards into the limelight. Dr Paul simply needs the opportunity to speak, then it is up to him to deliver his greatest speech and then us to make sure it is heard.

[JVParkour]

I second that. Well put Tony.

[specsaregood]

Ya it's a thin line.. I'm not a big fan of the concept behind the 912 project, but if he can go in and convert people to the message about the Fed and maybe even foreign policy then that could be positive.

Go to their meetings and convert them. It's been working well for us locally.

[majinkoola]

I went to a 9/12 meeting. Even though nearly every House Republican had cosponsored 1207 at that point, they didn't want me to talk about it. They didn't want any "controversial" issues talked about. Needless to say, they have a very small, old membership now.

wtf? You want to organize a protest, and avoid controversial issues?

Sounds like one hell of an ineffective protest...

[SimpleName]

Unfortunately, this will be a Palin-fest for sure. Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh...YAY! Beck really should push for definitive libertarians. Judge Napolitano should certainly, especially with his ties to Beck, be speaking. If these dopey Beck people realize what's good for them they should urge Ron Paul or Peter Schiff and Rand Paul considering their Senate runs. Can only hope for the best, but I'm definitely feeling a dumbed down Palin party.

[dr. hfn]

I think we need to show up in force and bring our whole message to the march. We need to bring the message that neocons don't agreee with to it and get our own speakers.

[Join The Paul Side]

"Ron Paul was mentioned as a speaker and the replies were they didn't want this to become a Ron Paul event."


So, it is going to be a Palin event?

Sounds like they know Ron will outshine Palin. ;)

[Flash]

I don't want to watch it if it's just Neo-Con psychobabble. Even if Glenn Beck is there, all he is doing is reporting on it. May be Alex Jones can participate and spread some truth about the Federal Resereve and Left-wing/Right-wing stuff.

[itshappening]

it's a fait accompli, people will march, get angry then be hit with Romney or Palin and their populist nonsense to asauge them

They can't stop Ron Paul from showing up. I really hope he decides to do something there.

[Sandra]

The 9-12 event is set up to take the "revolution" away from Ron Paul. period. It looks as though they are coopting the term for their shindig.

In the end it won't work... Truth will prevail.

[RM918]

People need to remember that they need to remain steadfast in their ideas. While being combative won't bring anyone new to the cause, compromising will make the cause worthless. They'll end up taking over the whole damn thing if it's not made apparent what the real causes are.

People here have been warming up to Palin and Beck, but it's productions like these that'll prove that the only thing those two care about is recapturing the hill, just like they've been doing for at least a hundred years.

[Epic]

Yeah, this is one huge co-opting.

I would recommend going there and recommending pro-liberty speakers such as Ron Paul, Judge Nap, Thomas Woods, and Walter Williams.

[RideTheDirt]

first, the ad I got for this thread was "blame Palin" LMAO

Second, if Ron Paul isn't invited then this will be a neo-con love fest.

Third, I hope some true r3VOLutionaries are there to educate the masses.

[dr. hfn]

We need to show up in force and convert those neocons! We need some anti-war speakers!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call Justin Raimondo!

[Revolution0918]

we should get kokesh.....neocons will love that he served

[micahnelson]

There are going to be so many counter marches... this is going to be one big ugly nasty mess of anger in DC.

If ever there was a time for /popcorn gentlemen, this would be it.

I'm clearing my calendar and buying taser and tear gas futures. My only hope is that liberals who hate the creeping police state and conservatives who hate the creeping nanny state both get arrested and end up in the back of the same riot van.

The conversations between radicals who realize that they really have the same enemy, at the end of the day, would be really interesting indeed.

[Imperial]

Judge Napolitano would probably be the best bet.

[RM918]

I just can't see it going well. They won't jive with the anti-war thing, they all just want to go back to bombing 'dirty commies and turrurists' like it'll all pay for itself and everyone knows America is top dog.
