The idea was proposed previously in this thread, but I think the date and timing was misguided. I like the idea of using the name Something's Happening Here as an homage to the Buffalo Springfield song "For What It's Worth" as it has a pretty powerful message that jives well with ours. However, what is really great about that name is the acronym "SHH" that can be played up to great effort on matters pertaining to civil liberties.
Recently, I came upon a rather interesting thought about when to do it in a way that I think would be most effective. Given the official moneybomb being today I think a bit of time would be necessary. Obviously anything before South Carolina is a no-go and Florida is too soon after to really target. Save for a few caucuses in small states where the campaign will probably need less money the first big states are Arizona and Michigan on February 28, followed by Super Tuesday. The latter is what we really have to focus on and so something in mid-February was where I really zeroed in and came upon what is probably one of the better dates that could be chosen.
February 19th is the 70th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 that led to the internment of Japanese-Americans in prison camps. I can think of no more appropriate day for linking up with a moneybomb focusing on the NDAA, the Patriot Act, and indefinite detention. Honestly, it seems perfect to me as the parallel would be easily accessible and something most people would understand so it would be hard to spin it as anything more than a realistic appeal to the consequences of increased government power.
Thoughts?
