"Hope For America Day"

I just posted on our Meetup Group Message Board (we are tied with Detroit as the 7th largest in the country - WOOHOO);

Lets have a BIG PARTY! We work hard, now we have a chance to PLAY HARD - and get Ron's name out there too!

Monday, August 20th is RON PAUL'S BIRTHDAY.

Let's throw a party at a PUBLICLY VISIBLE PLACE - my first thought was to get a permit for Indian Steele Park at Central and Indian School Rd. Centrally located. BIG banners & signs. It has been suggested at ronpaulforums.com that this be 'The Great Ron Paul Overnight - part II' in putting up signs & banners saying "Happy Birthday Ron Paul" on Aug 19th.

After all this hard work I've been just itchin' for a party for us all to get together and have some FUN, and this sounds like the perfect opportunity.

What say you all? :p

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN
 
I absolutely LOVE this idea. Senior citizens and cleaning up trash = win!

if we organize this well enough, we can let some media know that we're doing it. I know that's shameless but if it's put together well, we're good. On other days (not for this particular event), maybe Ron Paul meetup groups can set up little small events like "Clean up Alanoona River" ( i just made up that river) and get non-RP people involved too. It'd look good for the campaign
 
An idea I've looked into is a blood drive. Does this make sense? - 1. RP is a doctor, 2. summer is a low period for blood supplies and 3. a symbolic shedding of blood for the R(evol)ution (a stretch, but made sense to me). Anyway, I contacted the local agency here in SW Ohio and they will do a drive, complete with the mobile bus, printed materials, press releases!, for groups of 20-30+. And the 20th is available! I'm running this by my group. I'm sure these groups in other areas do similar things (such as Red Cross). Of course does not have to be a national thing, just an idea, but seems fairly simple (not a big time commitment) and service minded. Any thoughts?
 
Great job SC looks like your group is coming up with a plan. I want each group around the country to come up with what is best in there area. I can see this being huge. Everyone get your meetup groups involved!!
 
A great idea! I have some art for this

I've been advertising his birthday on my site with a graphic asking everyone to hold an event and donate at least $25 to the campaign on this day. I'd like to alter that to included community service which is brilliant.

I've already made the flyer and would like to revise the title to "Hope for America Day!"

Thoughts?

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.
 
Roadside rubbish detail with a sign saying,
Ron Paul Supporters -
Are Cleaning Up!!!

edit: or, the musically inclined might want to bring a small act, w/ entourage ;), to entertain seniors...

Here's a poster advertising this idea:

Feel free to comment on this, I left it open as to exactly what to do for the community service but we need to get a buzz going to get all meetups involved. I'm going to Mountain View, CA tomorrow to see Dr. Paul and I'm sure I'll be meeting lots of organizations up there and will be talking this up if given the opportunity. The SF Meetup group already sent us an e-mail wanting to hook up.

I'd be happy to create roadside signs if that's what's needed.
Let me know.

I LOVE this idea.

I just read the thread and decided to call the Mayor of Charlotte, NC (where I live) to ask if he has any pet project that we might help with on that day. This will allow for him to reap some goodwill publicity as well, which would absolutely insure local media coverage.

I'm sure that I'll have to bug him half to death to get an answer either way, and I'll post the feedback as soon as I get any.

This is a great idea that everyone can share in. :D

Aug 20th is a Monday. Wouldn't it be difficult to get people together on a work day?

Maybe we should make either the Saturday or Sunday just before the 20th the official day.

I agree with the idea to contact your local mayor, Councilmember, etc and ask for their idea for a location and then ask them to attend. Let them take some credit for it and then let them take care of contacting the media. They are the pros at that. : )
 
I'm going to work on getting some DFW people interested in this idea. I think it's a fantastic way to spread the word about Ron Paul and show people that private enterprise can help take care of those in need.

I was inspired by reading about the success of the Spam drive in South Carolina today...let's repeat it nationwide in August!
