Alternate/combination date: Dec.15 - Bill of Rights Day
I posted this at dailypaul, but did not know that there might already be some things in motion for the 16th/Tea Party. I wanted to add this here since I can't start threads here (WTF, to block sabotage or something?).
I actually think that, December 15, Bill of Rights Day, is a slightly better day based on subject matter, but will go with consensus.
However, it is also possible to make a 48 hour window, to allow for the media to pick up on it and ride the hype wave. I noticed that today is a well above average funds day, possibly due to the media coverage, even if ignoring any spill over from late last night. So 2 days is not necessarily a bad idea, but again it depends what others think. Below is a copy of the post I made.

I saw someone mention this a while back but am not hearing it now, so I wanted to toss it out there. I see different suggestions for a good December fundraising date, but this one speaks the most to *WHO RON PAUL IS* not just what might sound cool for a day to donate. It is timed about right, and it is dead on the message. As much as I liked the Nov 5 date, some of you may have seen that it had a slight taint to it in the media. They liked to at least mention the violent side of that even if the more hopeful message and actually peaceful march from the movie is what people are thinking about.
So I am nominating (seconding actually) Bill of Rights Day to be the primary December fundraising day. This is a day that all people can rally around and everyone can feel good about, as well as once which underscores numerous pillars in the Ron Paul ideology, including:
- Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly ,and petition
- Due process and rights of the accused
- Right to bear arms
- Powers of the states and people
And if it gets into the media again, they will have nothing but good things to say about it. No one knocks the Bill of Rights, not even Fox News.
Please consider this date as you plan.
