[edit] History

The holiday was first observed in 1921[1] as "Americanization Day,"[2] and was intended to counterbalance the celebration of Labour Day on May Day (May 1), an internationally celebrated holiday which was perceived as communist.

Loyalty Day is celebrated with parades and ceremonies in several U.S. communities, although many people in the United States remain unaware of it. Although a legal holiday, it is not a federal holiday, and is not commonly observed.

It was made an official holiday by the U.S. Congress on July 18, 1958 (Public Law 85-529).[3][4] Following the passage of this law, President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed May 1, 1959 the first official observance of Loyalty Day. [5]
 
I know the 4th is too late based on what Ron said, but it would be quite a statement to draft a new Declaration of Independence... this time from the Federal Government. Have Ron read it from the front lawn of the White House; list the grievances against our current 'king' George. I can see it now.

Regardless, I will be there with my wife and four kids, whatever day it is.

Being in Ohio, I have driven to DC a few times....I wouldn't mind making an entire week vacation out of it myself because there is so much to see and do there....the museums are great, and the monuments are breath taking to those who love history and our country. Washington Monument was my favorite...the only thing that could make it a better trip, is to be there with real purpose such as this...I look forward to it.

This will take good organizing I think...hotels and helping people get there and get around when there....meeting places etc...I think we need some structure for this project seriously...
 
We don't need somebody else's historical date, this one is ours.

Do it on a weekend with the most amount of time between now and then to advertise it while keeping within the time table Ron Paul suggested.
 
1. Logistics in DC on the July 4th & adding a March will not work

2. I have a bad feeling about DC in July
 
Since the convention will be held in Minneapolis-ST. PAUL that is where we need to go!

Thanks for asking me to the convention..

I think I will go where Ron Paul asked me to go = Washington.

Ron Paul is asking this of us.. time to show him our support. We need buses to come from all over the country..
 
This movement is big about real liberty oriented symbolism. I cant think of a better day than independence day. It has the added bonus of falling on a 3 day weekend. We could make a weekend of it.
 
DC will already be packed for the 4th of July, and we'll have a captive audience...:)

Ron Paul, For Liberty and Justice for All

4th of July 2008

Ron said it needs to be within 3-4 months. November is long after the conventions, I'd say late Juny early July at the outset.
 
April 19, 1775 Revolution begins-Lexington Common, shot "heard round the world"


2 month away and on a saturday
 
I voted for July 4th...only because my son won't have school...and I would really like for him to attend this and see it first hand....be a part of history you know? It's very important that this is peaceful and children can be included...since they are the ones who will be running this place in the future=)
 
July is too far off.

We need to make this happen March 1st weekend, to affect the March 4th Texas primary

if it's that soon...i'm sorry but no one will be there. ppl have jobs, they have kids who are in school, college students have school. helloooooo? alot of us are on the other side of the country...we can't just buy plane tickets out there....the prices are horrid. ppl need more time to plan.

is there an official website for this? and if so...who is in charge, and do they need more organizers, volunteers, whatever? because i'm willing to help. i'm sick of all the disorganization around this place.
 
Ron Paul says 3-4 months, which is May-June. I think a weekend in early to mid June, after most schools are out for summer break would be best.

This doesn't have to be on a historic day. We're making history, and this will be OUR historic day!
