Ron Paul: Going the Distance--This is the Link Where Ron Paul calls for a March on Washington. Here are some thoughts for how to make this happen.
1. Spread the word. Every Social Networking Group, Every Meetup Group, Via Email, Writing Local Papers (ironically, www.gop.com a great tool for sending out mass letters to the editor of local papers under the get involved tab).
2. Help everyone else get there. Some people don't have the means to come themselves. Nothing would prove the idea of limited government and helping others less fortunate than we are more than making sure we do all we can to get all of our fellow supporters there--regardless of their personal incomes.
are up and running. I guess the Free Market will decide which becomes the official site. Both sites offer a way to pledge that you will come (I personally like the ronpaulmarch.com better because it's organized by meetup group, but the revolutionmarch.com site looks more like what we're used to) but there is no way to contribute to the cause of getting others there. I just purchased the following websites: www.ronpaulmarchchipin.com, .org and .info. I also purchased www.Revolutionchipin.com , .org, .info and revolutionmarchchipin.com, etc.
I have no idea how to build a website, but if someone actually does, please email me and you are more than welcome to build it if you are actually qualified.I just bought it before someone else who didn't want to see this happen could. One Request I have for whoever builds it is that an ad from Amazon be placed there for Ron Paul's new Book called "The Revolution: A Manifesto" that is coming out soon since it will help spread the revolution for the coming years. All ad revenue from these sales will be contributed to the chip in as well. I did start a chipin event already, but getting it onto these appropriately named sites would be key. Here's the link:
I have no particular attachment to any particular name or even the chip in thing being the one I created--I just want to get people there.
There is no contribution limit when contributing to what Dr. Paul called, "The Race to Save the Country" so we can do a great service by getting others there.
3. Decide a Date. June 8th has been suggested already (which is two days after my birthday and D-Day so I would enjoy that) as has July 4th. At least everyone would be off on our Independence Day, but would they be willing to use it to come to D.C.? You decide. Debate it at ronpaulmarch.com and let's find out.
4. Remember that it took the Neo-Cons nearly 40 years to seize control of the Republican Party and America. Although our revolution won't take nearly that long, this is not going to be an easy fight. Nothing worth having ever comes easily.
5. This is Risky, as Dr. Paul said in his video. High Risk equals high return. The odds are against us, but the odds were against another group of Patriots 232 years ago as well.
It's time to stand up and be counted on something besides a website or electronic voting machine. Where will you tell your kids and grandkids you were on the day the music was born?

Unfortunately you are wasting your time. There are already 2 March websites and you all need to get together and work together so as not to cause mass confusion.
WHere is trevor lyman when you need him? Oh, I know...starting some matrix network!
We need organization here and not 20 people starting 20 different marches!
Why don't we choose the 220th anniversary of the day the Constitution came into effect? That day is June 21, 2008, 220 years after New Hampshire ratified, thus putting the document into effect. We live in a country that was supposed to be ruled by laws, and not by men. The anniversary of these laws being passed is the obvious choice.
I think we should schedule the march on Washington to happen on Tax Day, April 15th. I think that would amplify the impact, and encourage more people to join in.
I had already suggeted a web to sign up. Would it not be better if the campaign put up an official web? This thing could be really big with some organization.
We need some focus on what the March is about. IMO, it should be bigger than Ron Paul the individual, and therefor more inviting for a bigger crowd. A demonstration in favor of saving and enforcing the Constitution, and a reminder to Government that the people wont be ruled by it but over it. It needs reminding.
