Ron Paul Announces Grand March On Washington D.C.

In a video update from the Ron Paul campaign late last night, Ron Paul called for a “march on Washington”, to be held in “three or four months, before the convention.”

In the video released tonight Ron Paul states, “We are at this point where we have to do something major…We have to make a grand stand, we have to stand firm and see where are numbers are…”

Ron Paul seems to sense the fluidity of not only this Presidential race but also of the geopolitical and the world economic climate. There are so many variables that are still in play that could swing the momentum into Paul’s favor as the general election draws closer. A grand march on Washington just might be the rallying cry that grabs the attention of the nation and forces them to take notice of Ron Paul’s solutions to the problems that now loom over this nation.

There is also a growing voice of dissent against John McCain in the Republican Party. This voice of dissent does not seem to be willing to fall into line behind the Republican candidate. The resolution found on this site, http://nowaymccain.com/ , is picking up steam in local Republican branches and is poised to unify those within the party who disapprove of McCain. The resolution passed unanimously tonight in the vote of local GOP branch in Wisconsin, a state that has yet to vote in this primary cycle.

The Ron Paul forums are buzzing with suggestions for possible dates for the march as well as speakers and musicians that will be involved in the march. Ron Paul mentioned in the video that, “There has been some great music associated with this campaign” implying that music will certainly be involved in the rally. This campaign has inspired original songs spanning the genres from rap to folk to rock.

As speculation for a date is sure to continue over the course of the next few days some are wondering if there is a possibility that the march on Washington could correspond with the coming release of Ron Paul’s book, The Revolution: A Manifesto. These two events may very well propel this campaign through the summer months with more cash and growing support, right up to the doorstep of the convention in St. Paul in September.

  1. I will totally march for Ron Paul. It has been mentioned at Daily Paul that there are reasons a march may not be a good idea. Well the Declaration of Independence and the Revolution could have not been a good idea if that is the case. Go Ron Paul!!!

  2. That convention will be in St. Paul, Minnesota, the state capital.

  3. A bit premature, I admit, but I’m gassing up the car in anticipation for the road trip as we speak! :-)

  4. Yeah! Between the 326 people that dug this story, and the 375 members left at ronpaulforums we will be like 700.
    Wait… But the 326 that have dug this story, are actually all the remaining ronpaulforum members. So, we are really like 400 people scattered around the country (and the world).

    Maybe if the current base of supporters were less aggressive with people that express their thoughts, we would be more.

    Good luck with your march. I will eat crow if you reach more than 1000 people.

  5. Coboman…….obviously you are a shill. Go home.

  6. You forget the thousands who have voted for Ron Paul.

  7. “Coboman…….obviously you are a shill. Go home.”

    I am home.

    “You forget the thousands who have voted for Ron Paul.”

    Of course, how could I forget the 471 people that voted for him in DC! (yes, that is the actual number. Four hundred and seventy one. I am not making this up, nor am I a part of a conspiracy).

    With those, we will surely complete a dozen. Maybe even two dozen people. WOW! This is gonna be huge.

  8. “how could I forget the 471 people that voted for him in DC!”
    With only about 5,000 people turning out for the Republican primary tonight in D.C., that number probably says more about the pathetic state of the GOP. McCain won handily with only about 4,000 votes.

  9. BUSES… we are going to need lots and lots of buses, and a website to co-ordinate buses from every state for anyone wanting to goto the rally. Our ability to bring people to this event will drive fear into our opposition. Any celebrity types that you can get will be a huge boost, and celebritys willing to perform at the event in particular. The blimp is a must. We will need at least one big stage and at least one huge tent. Also, we have to get porta-toilets setup around the national mall. Plan to come a day or two in advance. Parking is available at the many metro(light rail) stations throughout the DC area, and the national mall is a short metro ride away.

    Advise people to bring:

    -food & water for 3 days

    -camcorder/camera

    -poncho/umbrella & towel

    -tent/camper

    -white shirt or sash

    -toilet paper

    -pepper spray (DC is a rough town), but NO WEAPONS.

    -flashlite & extra batteries

    -map of DC

    -signage

    -Love of Liberty

  10. It’s just an attempt to get your minds off IMPEACHMENT.

    Go out and work for impeachment in your communities - that way you can take back your OWN POWER.

    Funny how Ron Paul NEVER actually heeds the Constitutional remedies, isn’t it?

  11. Ron Paul supporters are fervent and committed because they are sick and tired of what they have been getting and are galvanized by Ron’s courage to speak about the problems that stem from disobeying the Constitutional limited government our republic is founded on, his crystal clear explanations of problems and solutions to reigning in the Federal government, and his impeccable voting history to prove it.

    Impeachment without a fair trial with an unified jury and evidence is unconstitutional. Every person must be afforded a fair trial, even the monsters, otherwise we disregard the rule of law - which is exactly why the US is in the mess it is in.

    If 3000 people showed up at an impromptu rally in Seattle, WA in January 2008, you can be sure the current count of 1650+ pledges from http://www.ronpaulmarch.com only two days after the announcement will be there. That number will multiply ten fold by the time the march date comes around.

  12. If you support the Troops you would vote for a President, who is supported by the troops, and there are 100,000 Ron Paul Supporters in Ca. if you assholes are going to dog the good Dr then we will just have to show our support out here! either way ,it’s going to happen!, right Cali?

  13. I wouldn’t miss this for the world. Let’s roll!!!

  14. I flew to Philly for the rally there back in November, so count me in for the D.C. march as well!

  15. This could be huge, I hope everyone making plans to come!

  16. GO RON PAUL! It’s critical that we show people how much support he has and rally more to his message. People love him when they are exposed to him and his message. The march, timed with a new book release, is a great idea. Keep Ron Paul in the news!!!

    I say: Coboman, your number is 471, actually 596,699 people have voted for Ron Paul in the primaries so far and still others are donating. I don’t see your logic, but numbers can be checked here:
