Poll: Vote on a date

[matthylland]

I have been reading lots of threads, if there are more dates for me to add, say and I will add them: (Or a mod, whoever)

My reasoning for May 25th...

• It's later, but not too late.
• It's on a Sunday so we'd have the weekend to travel.
• It's the day before Memorial Day holiday so it's a 3 day weekend.
• The southern schools (and colleges) get out in early May so they'll already be out of school.
• Student's on the East coast won't have as far to travel and may only need to miss one day of class (but probably not because of the holiday)

Keep this thread *bumped*

You left out Tax day...

Schools need to be out to let families and college students to attend.

Wrong way of thinking IMO take a vacation if you are not willing to put forth the effort to make it there on any day, only when it is convenient for you, then you need to rethink your priorities. The earlier the better so that finals are not in progress, if you are worried about that.

The dates on the poll are all wrong, IMO.

Check out these dates:
April 19 - US begins to abolish gold standard (1933)
May 4 - anniversary of Kent State protests / shootings (1970)
May 25 - Constitutional Congress convened in Philadelphia to draft the Constitution (1787)

I think we should consider July 4th

I was hoping I could edit it, I figured I would leave out a day on accident...
Can I add an option to the poll? I dont see it, maybe I am blind....

You left out the most talked about day so far --- JUNE 7, 2008... (6-7-8)

ok well April 19th-20th is the same weekend
May 4th is on the list

may 25th is on the list

4th of July while a great day has no value. Might as well be marching after the election is over at that point.

 

[teshuah]

one more thing to think about is all the state conventions being held for delegates! the dates are all over the place it would be nice if we could find a date that wouldn't overlap

It was my first choice too but it's way too hot & humid that time of year and the Mall is very congested already that day.

April 18/19 was the date of the midnight ride of Paul Revere

 

[CrazyRonPaulSupporter]

You left out the date that have been the winner the whole morning: June 21st!

[blakjak]

Please add June 21st.

 

[CatherineBleish]

I chose June 8th, but I'd prefer June 7th.

06/07/08

Most colleges are finished with their spring term during the first week of May.

The long Memorial Day weekend would allow anyone in the eastern half of the country enough travel time and most people farther away probably wouldn't make the long trip anyhow.

Any weekend would probably do if the march took place late Saturday afternoon allowing most people on the eastern seaboard time to travel.

I travelled by bus to an anti-war march in DC during the 70's and the entire round trip took us less than 2 days from Southern Illinois.

How about MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! (May 1st)

Seems like a great day for all good men and women to come to the aid of their candidate and their country.

Why not make it a "Million Broom March" to symbolise that DC needs a clean sweep?

Perhaps even set up booths for selling brooms, whisk brooms, tar and feathers to those who didn't bring any?

Of course, this would all just be a symbolic show of how we really feel about those who have usurped our government and country and hopefully it wouldn't get all out of hand.
