Congressman Ron Paul has called on his supporters to organize a march on Washington DC, admitting that such a move would be “risky” but impossible for the media to ignore and could have a big impact on the eve of the Republican convention.
In a campaign update posted on You Tube last night, the Texan outlined his thinking behind the plan.
“One of the projects that I’ve been working on in my mind and in my head that I want to share with you….we ought to make a grand display, we ought to have a true march to show what our numbers are,” said Paul, adding that such a move would be “risky”.
Paul said that the march was necessary because the media would not be able to ignore it and such an action would “send a powerful message.”
“Others have gone to Washington and people remember the grand rallies, so I’m at the point where I think we have to make a grand stand, we have to stand firm and see where the numbers are and be counted and see if the remnant is there and see how big it is,” said Paul, adding that such a display could make delegates sit up and take notice at the Republican convention in September.
Paul said the rally was vital, “If we want to really take a stand for freedom, take a stand that nobody can ignore, to see what would happen if we really had this grand march on Washington.”
The Congressman said the march would have to take place within three or four months so that it would occur before the convention.
The prospect of such a huge public display is obviously going to send chills down the spines of the elite and they will no doubt be considering plans to infiltrate and provocateur violence so as to demonize legitimate demonstrators in the eyes of the watching audience.
Numerous important demonstrations down the years have been infiltrated by authorities posing as anarchists who instigate violence to give the police carte blanche to crackdown on peaceful protesters.
Nowhere was this more evident that in Quebec last summer where during the SPP summit protest, Canadian police were caught and later forced to admit to posing as violent rock-carrying anarchists as other police staged their arrest when they were pointed out as cops by protesters.
The potential of more staged violence is particularly high considering the fact that the media has engaged in a year-long campaign to insinuate that Ron Paul supporters are extremists, racists and possibly violent. They seized upon several “money-bomb” campaigns to link the terminology with Guy Fawkes’ 16th century Gunpowder Plot to bomb the British parliament.
During his campaign update, Ron Paul also emphasized why his supporters should not be disheartened by his recent decision to scale back his presidential campaign in order to safeguard his congressional seat.
“We do have to be very positive about what we have achieved this year, far beyond my expectations and far beyond the expectations of most of those individuals in the media who wrote us off rather quickly,” said Paul.
“If we drop the ball now, if we fade away and disappear, all the work and effort that we’ve done in this past year could be lost so that is why I believe we have to stay in this race and do what we can.”
“We can’t turn this around in a week or two or a year or two, but if conditions deteriorate as I suspect we have to have a hardcore of people who understand these issues who are able to rebuild this society,” he added.
“We need everybody to stay engaged and stay active and not be disillusioned that this is all over….we can’t drop the ball right now, we have to continue this process,” concluded Paul.

They would probobly call us a threat although we come with a peaceful protest Unclerudy....
I am sure that the riot police would be there with pepper spray, tasers and rubber bullets to shut us up.
There is no such thing as peaceful assembly anymore and Freedom of speech is almost completely wiped out as well...):
Ron Paul is the best for our Country but as far as the Elite is concerned, It will never happen..

There's absolutely no way I would march on Washington for Ron Paul! We'd be sitting ducks....not too smart at all.

Ahh I remember a good sit down protest. Or even a lie down one. Bloody uncomfortable, but it is very very hard for the police to claim you were being aggressive if you were lay flat on your back :)
As for police posing as anarchists...I'm pretty sure this has happened on a couple of the may 1st protests in the UK.
Rudy, I am not sure I like Ron Paul, but he is the lesser of the two evils. I wish you luck with your protest, keep your heads and wear something warm :)

Aaron, some people might actually take this seriously...it's just not a safe or smart thing to do...especially since we're on alert for terrorist activities.
Did you watch the news tonight about "pregnant" suicide bombers? You never know who anyone is anymore. The police are quick to act...or react...and sometimes overreact!

So instread of exercising their democratic right to a peaceful protest, you expect them to sit at home in fear of what the police might do?

We need lease Government and more Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Ron Paul" is about lease Government and that's the main thing i like about him!!!!! We have Too many Government programs just giving away all of our tax dollars to lazy people and businesses for too many reasons!!!!!! Yes some people need help but if you just keep giving and giving to any and everyone then that helps to keep people dependent and they won't want to work!!!! Why should they when they can get free money from the Government!!!! Peace!!!

Wrong, wrong, WRONG.
"Sitting Ducks" is what we are NOW. Feel's real "smart", doesn't it?
I'd gladly be maced, sprayed, tased, and pelted with rubber bullets, doing what is RIGHT, and within my every RIGHT, than to sit here on my hands, a "sitting duck".
Great lead post, Rudy. For those of us who can't make it, we need to organize it on the local level... for that day, and beyond, and contact every local media outlet for the occasion.

You're welcome to it, jettercat. As for me and mine, we will live our lives as law-abiding citizens.
I read Rudy's post...and I read his subsequent post on police brutality...sorta makes sense, doesn't it? If you start, they will finish. Our country is on terrorist alert; all you have to do is resist a police officer, and you're considered a threat.
We are presently fighting a battle of the ballot, as opposed to a battle of the bullet. Yes, by all means, organize...but start in your precinct by getting elected as a precinct committeeman. Get involved politically...there is power in the vote. Seek good men and women with ideals such as your own to support in the legislature.
Adding... research voting records for those candidates who are running. Vote for the man/woman whose voting record best reflects the issues you support.

Come on now, everyone knows you don't have to break the law to get "maced, sprayed, tased, and pelted with rubber bullets." Have you never seen someone get tased for using the freedom of speech?

I remember a college student getting tased at a rally for Kerry or something like that..Don't tase me dude.... I think was the quote that became so popular after that event.

I'm all for peaceful protest.

No, I haven't. I've been involved in political rallies, marches, what have you. I've seen on tape, persons tased for resisting a police officer. Again, it's not a good idea to resist...especially when we're at war and security is at risk.

Ari, do you like to get a rise out of people, or do you actually stand by all the things you say? I would be willing to bet that 90% of the comments you make on other peoples post are totally against the grain of the thread. And you seem to be the only one who agrees with yourself.

Is that it? It's ok for them to brutalise innocent people because of Bush's war? So you're fighting for your freedom, by taking freedom away?
How can you expect your children to have respect for your police force, or indeed any form of authority if you teach them that?

The majority of the people frequenting message boards are liberals. My views are representative of the majority of the population in America.
It is the nature of most liberals, once they lose an argument, to resort to personal attacks.

I agree with you a little on that one Ari, the majority of Americans are willing to sit back while all our freedoms are taken away. In the meantime, our foreign policy is making enemies by the day. Which if I might add increases the threat of attacks on us.

Enemies of America are the liberals who wish to take us down...both foreign and domestic.
As per the war in the Middle East...I have a biblical perspective on that. According to bin Laden, the bloodshed will continue until America embraces Islam...which ain't happenin'.

well i am not sure who i am voting for just yet...but someone needs to get in that white house and clean up the mess that has been made and is still continuing to be made....whoever gets in there- if they don't do their job...maybe we should take a stand against washington. how much more bs do we as americans have to take from our government? why should we have to shut up about what we feel and what we want for our country? they sure have no problem imposing their views and ways on us! and do we have any say? sure we can vote and petition and so on....but unless you have money or power by knowing someone or being related to someone within the system...do we the people really matter or count? we would like to think we do...but do we REALLY???
just a thought.

Ari, Lets do some math..My numbers may not be exact there for this is somewhat theorerical. You are supporting a candidate who says he wouldn't mind if we were in Iraq for 100 yrs. Ok this "war" is costing us one trillion dollars a year. What exactly are we trying to conserve here? Our military is fighting a war that in my opinion, we will never win. Our borders are pourous<sp> yet we have troops in over 60 countries. This doesn't add up. The only thing being conserved here is the debt, hate, and loss of freedoms. Tell me what InsaneMcCain has in his agenda to change just one of these things.

Did the test you took ask any questions about the war in Iraq? Or indeed ANY questions about war?
I believe it did not, which makes your argument here null and void Ari.

What we're conserving and preserving is our country and freedom, Aaron.
If you consider this war from a biblical perspective, the war in the Middle East is prophesied and will never cease. Remember, out of bin Laden's mouth... the fighting and bloodshed will continue to escalate until America embraces Islam.
Sen. McCain is a war hero...who better to lead as our Commander-In-Chief?
