RON PAUL PICKS THE DAY, YOU DECIDE TO GO OR NOT GO...

RON PAUL PICKS THE DAY, YOU DECIDE TO GO OR NOT GO...

Many have pointed out good reasons for many dates. We merely want to suggest those reasons to Ron Paul. I will try to make it to any day that he picks, but many have pointed out why some days would be preferable to others by mass scale.

The entire point of this is to make sure it has the biggest impact as possible. We don't care about ourselves or our own preferences, we only want what will make the march as freakin huge as possible.

Pointing out information is never a bad thing. We are not doing this out of bias what so ever, we are doing it out of concern.

i like this armed forces day . . . its a saturday, we need to improve our street cred with the war mongers, it's the closest to 3 months away.

This sounds way better than most!

Not sure if this is DeJaVue or Groundhog Day, but seeing how this one got stickyed, might as well post the same comments as before.

Either 6/7/8 or 6/21 are great dates, nothing else going on to interfere with our march.

6/14 is the GP Parade, so that's pretty much out, and Memorial Day or July 4th are going to be so crowded that we would not stand out, plus its generally a pain to get those days off and travel/lodging is more expensive around holidays.

My personal preference is 6.7.8 just cuz it's numerically pleasing and easy to make chants with, not just on that day but in remembrance of it afterwards.

I like: April 19th (Saturday):

April 19, 1775. The day of the "Shot heard round the world" The first day of the War of Independence; Revolutionary War.

April 19, 1933 FDR announces that the US will leave the gold standard.

April 19, 1993 Our Government attacked Waco.

April 19, 1995: A massive bomb explosion destroys much of a federal building in Oklahoma City, USA.

4/19 is a very historic date, (also called Patriots Day in Massachusetts) but most colleges will still be in session and might cause some problems with getting out the students.

Whatever the day, we'll be there tho.

Definitely don't do it 'til June, and not on a major holiday. A lot of schools don't get out until sometime in June. If you give people at least three months to prepare, the turnout will be huge.

Yes I think the entire point will be to get as big of a turn out as we can. And I think it will be fun as well. If we can convince musicians and celebrities to show up it would be all the better.

Anyone able to contact the RP HQ to see if he will be able to consider alternative dates? MANY have given concerns over picking dates on popular holidays.

June 21 looks the best to me. On a Saturday, about the Constitution. Has Revolution in its name.

But if Ron Paul picks a specific date then when go we he says.

 

[BigRedBrent]

Has Revolution in its name.

I just made it up since Constitution Day is already taken by another date and it rhymes.

 

[newbitech]

i am just really liking June. I picked June 21st cause of the symbolism, but this month has all kinds of symbolism.

I really don't think we should coalesce around national holiday because days like memorial day and 4th of July deserve their own attention.

678 is also quite intriguing and so is flag day. So any day in June looks really good.

Saturday April 19th. Lexington and Concord day. The shot heard round the world. Open with a sunrise vigil at Lexington Common, continue with a victory rally at Concord Bridge, and then finish with a march on Washington, 1,000,000 strong.

 

[Conza88]

Please ADD!

"FREEDOM is on the MARCH!"

How do you plan on getting from Concord to Washington?

My vote's for 6/21/08 for the same reasons people have stated: Saturday, college out of session, summer weather, not a major holiday, and far enough off to give ample time for planning.

There are so many of these polls floating around that they are all meaningless not to mention
subjective.

For instance in this poll the person writing the poll decided to select May 26th. Who in their right mind would vote for a date in DC conflicting with the national Memorial Day Parade.

If the Memorial Day weekend was selected, the logical day would be Sunday the 25th giving travel days on either side of the march day.

For me, the best date would be on a Saturday between semesters (from late May to mid August). I've never done anything so crazy in my life, but for the good of the movement I'll fly to DC just for the march.

The further away the better, more time to plan, more time to prepare and spread the word.

July 4th would be great.

I would make a vacation out of it and bring my wife and kids.
