April 15, 2008 would be better.

April 15, 2008 can be a great selling tool.

"April 19, 1775 - American Revolutionary War: The Battle of Lexington and Concord which began the American Revolutionary War."

That would be perfect!

April 15 would be good too, but April 19 is on a Saturday. More people would be able to attend!

Hitler's birthday?

Change the damn date! WTF!

 

[virginiakid]

I always wondered why great things happen in April. Whether these great things are for the good or for the bad.

What events started in April. What makes April such a brush fire for people?

I think the date should be moved to July 4th. April is right around the corner and frankly, I don't think that gives us enough time. If we do it right, this can be eye popping jaw dropping and earth shakingly MONUMENTAL. If it isn't - it won't do much for the fight for freedom (though I would still support it - even if it was ten people.) But if this is HUGE, and if we can get Dr. Paul to be the Keynote speaker, we might get some real attention.

We need more time to promote it and to organize it.

Just my opinion - as I start to really think about it...

4/20 is a drug reference, lol.. I'm sure it has nothing to do with Hitler's birthday.

That being said, July 4th is a better date. There will be tons of people in DC, however, and that may provide some difficulty in getting hotel accomodations. On the plus side, there would be tons of people to see us march. But, we would need some serious organization to do it on the 4th. We should rent out an entire (cheap) hotel now. Imagine the fun! Our own hotel!

Not too mention the crowd and press that is already there for the fireworks every year... Thousands of people crash the Mall every Forth of July.

You do need time, usually these things are planned a year in advance. You have logistics, hotel arrangements. Flight pick-up, paper work and everything else that may come up.

 

[polexi]

I'm down. Live about 2 hours from DC...go to school about 4 hours away. Could definitely make a day trip of it

Takes about two hours from West Chester, Pennsylvania. I-95 the whole way pretty much.

I agree with this, but can you imagine how PACKED it would be even getting to D.C?
