I honestly like the plan of 1 per month. It takes that long to recover from one and save up for the next. Also that long to hype it up.
My picks would be the same. GW in Feb.
Patrick Henry in March.
 
I am not suggesting we do all of them, my preference is stated at the bottom ofthe message. Georges b-day and hemry's speech. I would like to see how others feel though. If maybe one or two of these dates are worthy.

Can we get the next one to look like this?
 
I got a date you missed, its Leap Year, and Feb 29th is the birthday of Carol Paul(ya know RP's Wife)
 
Regardless it should all be coordinated with tax returns. We must organize some sort of "Tax Returns for Paul" fund raiser.
 
April 15 and George Washington's birthday.

Note to the official campaign: Pennsylvania primary 4/22, several other states first week of May. Since this is close to April 15, voters should be plenty angry after having to pay taxes and should be receptive to our message. Maybe a big ad campaign in those states around the 15th highlighting the abuses of the IRS and economic impact of punitive tax rates. Educate the masses that there is only one candidate who wants to reduce the size and intrusiveness of government.
 
"February 22 1732 Birthday of George Washington, first President of the United States of America (1789-1797), Commander-in-chief of Continental forces during the American Revolution."

Also the first birthday of my daughter, Finley Ann. I was very excited that she was born on Washington's birthday.
