You need a reality check on this. One of the reasons the Philly rally was IN Philly was because the logistics of holding a large demonstration of any sort in D.C. are insane. You have to set up several months in advance, which means anything before June, at this point, is out of the question. So you might as well look at the Aug 8 date now and start filing your paperwork or you'll lose that as well.

Never. D.C. is a place where guns are banned yet every gov't building has snipers and god knows what attached to their rooftops. If shit gets outta hand, we're all either dead or rounded up and there is nothing you can do to protect yourselves. That bigtime IRS rally didn't change anything. I'm not trying to burn out this great idea. Just suggesting we try to do it elsewhere.

I think everybody should save their vacation time for September 1-4 in St. Paul, Minnesota, for 2 reasons.

1) GOP needs 8,000 volunteers to run the convention, INCLUDING DATA PROCESSING!!! The more of those who are Ron Paul supporters, the better.

2) Chicago in 1968 made history, and it was nowhere near as organized as we can be.

ON TO THE CONVENTION!!!​

I chose the 4th of July! My kids will be out of school and we can make a family affair out of it. Others in my meetup group are talking about renting a bus to get us all from Florida to Washington. Although the traffic will be bad - no one can use the lame excuse of having to work or kids in school for not attending.

888 for me.

I've never been involved with organizing something like this, but im sure we're going to need months of time to prepare.

The more time to promote the better in my opinion (=

What about Father's day? For our founding fathers? That would be June! I'd like to see us focus on men standing up for their rights again and protecting their families. We could put a really nice spin on that angle, appeal to male ego.

Middle of summer (July+) is WAY TOO HOT in DC. Families won't be out walking w/little ones. Any march we have on July 4 won't compete with the all day hoopla associated with the 4th in the area. There is security everywhere and they close off some areas for ticket holders only. Also, it should be AFTER the Revolution Manifesto comes out so we raise awareness on that as well.

July 4th. More people = more attention. Also, we have spare time and a great day to watch the fireworks ;D

July 4th or 8/8/08

"In a way reminiscent to the Hippies of the Vietnam War, wild Ron Paul supporters gathered in Washington D.C. today to protest the election. When told to clear the area, the radicals began throwing stones and molotov cocktails at the US military. Many were also carrying rifles and fired a warning shot into the air.

Paul's supporters were quickly broken up with tear gas. Many of the group's organizer's have been arrested for crossing state lines intending to incite a riot."

Maybe in a month, we'll get our own Wikipedia page on the D.C. 16.

NOT JULY 4. Come on guys, DHS is out in force. It's a BIG day in DC and we will be totally ignored.

 

[Channing]

Since the convention will be held in Minneapolis-ST. PAUL that is where we need to go!

bump, I'm thinkin you might be right channing.

Wake Up!

Is everyone just flat out foolish? Are we going to be able to assemble 10,000,000 people or even 500,000 by by March 15 or even April 15th? And July 4th !! Come on people, millions of Americans already travel to D.C. for that day and any attention for Ron Paul would instantly be diverted and respect given to the 4th not to Paul's march. It would be easily hidden by the media and immediately swept under the rug. Honestly, none of those dates are acceptable. Once again, WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!!

 

[Airborn]

Lets get a date decided on! Quick, we need to spread this and make youtubes. Ron wants us to rally up and do the march, gets get the rEVOLution going!

 

[jrich4rpaul]

July 4th is too late, Ron Paul requested it be sooner than 4 months
