After Novemeber 5th proves to be hopefully the largest mass one day donation in US politics- many are looking to see what we can accomplish on Saturday December 1st. There is a proposal for all MeetUps to have rallies in their towns all across America. There's a MySpace page promoting Sign Waving on that day.
See: http://www.myspace.com/ronpaulsignwaving
It seems to me this is good time to start planning something massive for that day, it's a big shopping day for Christmas.
I have lots of ideas but I want to hear from others so I started this thread. My idea to is measure the pulse of sentiment and see what the support is for getting a huge turnout nationwide in every state and every city and many many towns for rallies everywhere.
So here's my intial thought on this:
If our MeetUp is typical -( it's 5-12 people at weekly meetings) many may be feeling they don't have enough members to make a rally with much visual impact. BUT if we came together in the town square or other busy public place and decorated our CARS with liquid chalk on windows, signs and ribbons we could make more of a spectacle.

AND we all have partners, family and friends - how to get them involved? Make it festive - celebration of Peace Liberty and Ron Paul - have music, children, competitions for best decorated car, have unusual vehicles - a fire truck, a horse and buggy, a golf cart, a tractor, a bicycle. Have it in the town square and hand out slim jims. Have signs everywhere. Have people sell food, performers- make it a party. And in the afternoon have the decorated vehicles proceed in a slow procession through all the busiest neighborhoods and roads. The beauty of this is that people will decorate their cars with liquid chalk if it is fun and everybody is out there helping in public. AND they may just leave it that way all through December and January to be moving billboards and support the campaign.
And have a tie in with groups nationwide with everyone doing their part to make a huge show to say "we're tired of special interest and secrecy driven government, we want real change, less and more honest and open government". Each town could have their own flavour to include everybody.
Lets have some ideas please- and get a website up soon to rally around this as soon as we're done with a knockout success on Nov 5th!!
