I'll organize a bus from Northern PA if I can get a date soon enough.... I thought we wanted to work it around college breaks?

It would be a good idea but it doesn't give us enough time to promote it and organize it. I'm hearing a June date and a possible July date...
 
Now that would be so cool. We have to get something like this together and make this happen. More people the better.
 
I'll be there if it's this summer. But, a few people on this forum have been saying that we should plan it at least a year in advance if we want a major turnout. I can see benefits either way. Having it next year would give us a lot of time to spread the word and possibly have a larger turnout. The only problem is that I'm afraid some people might become apathetic about showing up if it's next year. I personally have no idea, but how many people do you all estimate would show up this summer?

Not sure, depends on how hard we promote it and if people care enough about it to go.

I'm thinking at least 20,000
 
Oh hell, June or July? I can get a whole lot more down there by then. When do you think a definate date will be set?

Kathy we are working on getting the permit right now. We should have an answer soon. In the meantime we need 100 hard-core promoters for this, meaning we need people who will commit to a few hours a day hitting the blogasphere, meetups, precinct captains, their personal contacts, etc. Repetition is the key. Most people need to see the info over and over again before it seems credible to them.

I like Nov 5th alot! Agreed though - good chance it could be too cold.

Some other suggested dates:

Aug 2, 1776 - Declaration of Independance signed by most members of Congress.
Sept. 17, 1787 - US Constitution signed.

Another suggestion - MAKE OUR OWN DATE! We are re-writing history. What about choosing a date to be remembered as the REVOLUTION MARCH ON WASHINGTON. (or whatever) It's been the tradition, but we don't HAVE to pick a symbolic date.


I LOVE all the ideas that are being brought up and discussed in this thread, and other threads. WE NEED TIME to explore them all and get united behind one well planned event. We have done well against other "grassroots" campaigns in terms of organization, but if we are trying to compete with the MSM, the Fed, and the entire "establishment," we need to step it up more than just a notch or two. We need to play smart, and when we hit, we need to hit HARD!

I found this off topic, but really inspiring, historical note while searching for historic days in June/July (where are the law makers like this?):

June 10, 1964
Civil Rights Filibuster Ended

Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)
At 9:51 on the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert C. Byrd completed an address that he had begun 14 hours and 13 minutes earlier. The subject was the pending Civil Rights Act of 1964, a measure that occupied the Senate for 57 working days, including six Saturdays. A day earlier, Democratic Whip Hubert Humphrey, the bill's manager, concluded he had the 67 votes required at that time to end the debate.
The Civil Rights Act provided protection of voting rights; banned discrimination in public facilities—including private businesses offering public services—such as lunch counters, hotels, and theaters; and established equal employment opportunity as the law of the land.
As Senator Byrd took his seat, House members, former senators, and others—150 of them—vied for limited standing space at the back of the chamber. With all gallery seats taken, hundreds waited outside in hopelessly extended lines.
Georgia Democrat Richard Russell offered the final arguments in opposition. Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, who had enlisted the Republican votes that made cloture a realistic option, spoke for the proponents with his customary eloquence. Noting that the day marked the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's nomination to a second term, the Illinois Republican proclaimed, in the words of Victor Hugo, "Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come." He continued, "The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing in government, in education, and in employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is here!"
Never in history had the Senate been able to muster enough votes to cut off a filibuster on a civil rights bill. And only once in the 37 years since 1927 had it agreed to cloture for any measure.
The clerk proceeded to call the roll. When he reached "Mr. Engle," there was no response. A brain tumor had robbed California's mortally ill Clair Engle of his ability to speak. Slowly lifting a crippled arm, he pointed to his eye, thereby signaling his affirmative vote. Few of those who witnessed this heroic gesture ever forgot it. When Delaware's John Williams provided the decisive 67th vote, Majority Leader Mike Mansfield exclaimed, "That's it!"; Richard Russell slumped; and Hubert Humphrey beamed. With six wavering senators providing a four-vote victory margin, the final tally stood at 71 to 29. Nine days later the Senate approved the act itself—producing one of the 20th century's towering legislative achievements.
 
PS. re July 4th. I was there for the Fourth of July celebration in 2003 and it was packed! Huge lines at the metro, tight security, etc. This, in my opinion, is not a good day for the march.
