June 21st is NOT the official date!!

Deborah K · Mar 8, 2008

We do NOT have a permit yet. Ron Paul likes this date and so do most of us but we're putting the cart before the horse here, folks. We are waiting for the parks service to give us a date. They've had our application for three weeks now and told me last wednesday that it would take at least another week before they could give us any information.

Agent CSL · Mar 8, 2008

Thank you Deb! <3

Should I go back and put a disclaimer on my graphic? I already have it on my two posters.
"This date is speculated. Please contact revolutionmarch.com for more details"?

Deborah K · Mar 8, 2008

Only if you're using them in promotion. We don't want to further confuse people.

torchbearer · Mar 8, 2008

we already have the permit and speakers lined up for April 15th.

Deborah K · Mar 8, 2008

I know, but sadly that date doesn't work for a lot of people. It's too soon for folks who live in the western states to plan for, it's in the middle of the work week, college students are in session and taking finals, many don't want to associate the movement with a tax revolt, on and on.

I support the Grannys, I believe their march will be a huge success. I also believe multiple events keep us in "their" face - if you know what I mean. We aren't going away!

torchbearer · Mar 9, 2008

I will be speaking at the Apirl 15th event.

so i gotta be there.

And who makes the 'permit' decisions? Can't imagine the well heeled DC counsellors will be too willing to grant one...or am i being conspiracyist??

Well, they could deny us, but doing so would hurt them more than it would us. Even some of our opponents might start to ask why we were singled out.

It's been months so far and I'm sure people are losing steam for this event because an official day hasn't been made. I know I'm losing enthusiasm. I went online for flight and hotel information so I know exactly what it's going to cost me. I still want to go, but I don't see a "sticky" on the forums that let us know the progress of what is going on. I sure don't want to dump $500-600 on an event that is not organized properly and I'm sure I can't be the only one thinking that.

Time is ticking.

Who's in charge of this event? Are there a team of people responsible for organizing, etc.? Is there a web page? If so why isn't prominently on the forums so people can see?

100% correct. Time is a wasting, the longer it drags the less support there will be, not rocket science.
Don't those who apply for permits ask for a certain date, and then only in extreme cases is that date no allowed due to other things. What date is being asked for, is anybody asking for a certain date, thats in charge?
Does the march have a certain point, the war, federal reserve, income tax, immigration all of the above or just freedom in general, isn't the last idea a little vague?

The people that are trying to organize this DO realize time is ticking....but when are some of you going to understand that there MUST be a permit? It's like all common sense escape you and you want that instant gratification. They are waiting to see what days are available. If the 21st is available...the 21st it is! No one can make parks and recreation hurry....that's why we need to practice patience. Give it one more week and let's see what happens. I feel like this is confusing ppl so much. Everyone at myspace is going berzerk promoting the 21st. uuuugh. This needs to be more organized. Deb....give me some kind of statemnt or something to start flooding myspace with. Ppl are getting ahead of themselves and it's frustrating.

FreeTraveler · Mar 9, 2008

At this point, it's going to be tough to put something together. Dr. Paul made it plain that this was a low-priority event. I'd rather see us get focused on getting as many delegates, volunteers, and supporters to St. Paul on Sept 1-4.

BTW, the GOP is looking for 8000 "volunteers" to "assist" at the convention. If you have the bucks, you can probably be a lot more valuable "inside" the convention than any march on Washington will be.

http://www.gopconvention.com/volunteer/general.aspx

recruit more than 8,000 volunteers, who will perform key duties and play crucial roles in the areas of transportation, information services, hospitality, and special events during the week of the convention.

Best of luck to you. What is your topic, btw?

The reason it seems unorganized is because we don't have a central location to go to for current news, and information. So, everyone is all over the place.

Flames, you give me an idea. I'm going to ask Ray to put up a FAQs link on the site and then we can put together as many of the Qs that are being asked in this forum as we can. Ray has a 'buzz, ' section, which is kind of like a 'latest news' but we obviously need more then that. We did put up a forum on the site: http://www.forum.lamp.revolutionmarch.com/

www.revolutionmarch.com Probably because everything is hinging on a permit and a date.

lasenorita · Mar 11, 2008

I hope they obtain a permit soon. I like June 21st --- it's the summer solstice so it'll be the longest day of the year ...meaning more time to make our presence known!

Hopefully The Revolution March will receive more media coverage than Prince William's birthday.

March Theme

I believe we should march for the "Respecting the Constitution". After all, it is constitution day on march day.

People don't respect the constitution anymore. They label it as a piece of paper or historical document. Few realise it is actual laws restricting the government.

Deborah K · Mar 12, 2008

We should get some information in the next week.
