Lightbulb "Hope For America Day"

I have seen some good ideas on this board and think I have a plan to put them together. The following is my proposal and call to action:

"Hope For America Day - 2007"

As supporters of Ron Paul and striving to help our country we should come together on August 20th and help to better America. What a better way to honor Dr. Paul then to celebrate his birthday through community service. We can come together to clean streets, paint over graffiti, help the homeless, or provide a volunteer service needed in our communities.

Working together we can make a difference in our local areas while promoting Ron Paul as President. Imagine if we do this in cities across the country? What will people think when they see volunteers We have the volunteer force working in their hometowns to better them, not just out working the campaign trail. We all know that we have a very large volunteer force, lets show the world what we can accomplish.

Work together with your local meetups and groups and set aside August 20th as a day to help you community. Find out what you group can do to help in your area. And then take action!


If anyone wants to write that up better and get it setup as a blog I would appreciate it. Also anyone that can help to start promoting this plan please do.

The following links were my inspiration and I thank those who first had these visions. I just thought of a way to put it all together:

I love it, but am a little worried over logistics given a somewhat short time frame to work with.

Should we pick a theme'd service project that can be shared nationwide?

Like adopt-a-highway or something along those lines just to stay consistant?

Now that I'm thinking of it, maybe we can focus on senior citizens and senior homes/hospitals.

They would be an awesome voting block to lure to our POV via kindness and the constitution. Remind them of "the good ol days"

I make a motion to have shrugged0106 Chair the formal committee to generate and provide the context of the new August 20th holiday.
Anyone second that motion?

I'm serious. I've made a motion. I'm waiting for a second to that motion.
Then the forum can vote up or down...
Once we get a chair... the volunteers are place on the committee under the direction of the chair.
any administrative roles necesary to the task are filled/elected by the volunteers.

Love it. Will be mentioning to my meetup.

When this thread dies, I suggest it be moved to 'strategies for success'.

I don't think so, although I do think the 'adopt a highway' idea is a wonderful one. This whole campaign works on a 'bottom up' approach (as should our government). We don't need a 'top down' (federal level) regulation of how and when to do community projects.

I think this should be announced widely as a day for RP promotion + local community service, with only the basic instruction to do local community help on that day, with Ron Paul T-Shirts on, and Ron Paul campaign material in hand.

Then, each meetup can decide best for themselves (like states/citizens in gov't) how to put the idea in action, and how best to help their local community.

It wouldn't hurt anything to throw out a couple of ideas. Sometimes, a little organization is a good thing.

I think this a brilliant idea. Use the Meetups. But wouldn't the 18th or 19th work better for most people being a weekend?
