I wanted to start a new thread on this, because I think I've come up with something that could really be a revolutionary spin on this idea for MAXIMUM benefit to the campaign.
I (and others suggesting other days) had proposed earlier a march on Feb 1 to commemorate National Freedom Day (and Ron & Carol's anniversary), however . . .
I have rethought the idea, however, and would instead like to propose the following new (I think) idea for an unprecedented event on February 1st, 2008:
PROPOSAL:
- A VETERANS FOR RON PAUL March on the National Mall.
- EVERYONE ELSE MARCH ON THE CAPITOLS OF ALL SUPER TUESDAY STATES (listed below), and instead leave Washington to the veterans.
DETAILS:
- That's 22 states PLUS D.C..
- The VETERANS FOR RON PAUL march in D.C. will aim for the national spotlight and require, at minimum, a peripheral national media nod to the other marches all across the nation.
- The marches in the Super Tuesday states will aim to get local coverage where it counts and also maximize attention of the veterans supporting Paul in D.C..
- A chip-in might be required to fund travel for willing veterans to go to Washington. Everyone else can fend for themselves, and/or local meetup groups can coordinate bus trips to the local marches.
ADVANTAGES:
- This MAXIMIZES media attention and also concentrates that attention to the key focus areas with one last publicity "bomb" to inspire before the big day at the polls 4 days later.
- This also MAXIMIZES participation of Paul supporters, because it makes BIG marches on a regional and state scale -- i.e., it's far easier to drive a few hours than fly across country.
SUPER TUESDAY STATES:
Alabama, Alaska caucus, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado caucus, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho caucus, Illinois, Kansas caucus, Massachusetts, Minnesota caucus, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico caucus, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah
THINK ABOUT IT . . .
I think this is extremely practical and has potential to be a HUGE peak for the campaign right when it matters most! And best of all, we have plenty of time to get it done!
What are your thoughts?
