In the same message where Ron Paul announced it was time for his Presidential campaign to wind down he floated the idea of a grand march on Washington DC to his supporters. Since then various factions began rallying for the rally/march. Initially, the Ron Paul campaign jumped in the ring and tried planning the event. At some point they backed out and left it up to the grassroots.

At least two different major events were either already underway or were started the minute the idea was floated. Those major events are, The Freedom Rally organized/promoted by the Granny Warriors and The Revolution March. Many have been critical of these competing events. The criticism is mostly based on the belief that having one large event is better than having multiple smaller events. It seems that there is no basis for this argument. Why not work towards having multiple large events? After all, don’t we believe that free markets and competition work for the betterment of all?

The first event is this Tuesday, April 15th, 2008. It is the “Freedom Rally” organized by the Granny Warriors. Many liberty luminaries are scheduled to speak, including Ron Paul and Bob Barr. The event begins at 11am and lasts until 6pm. The weather as of this writing looks to be a bit chilly but no rain. For all the details check out the Freedom Rally page at the Granny Warriors web site.

The second event is the Revolution March and will either be held on July 12th or August 2nd, depending upon the support. Currently, the July 12th date is leading in votes, but not by much.

There is more than enough room in the Ron Paul tent for two rallies or even more. Some have also suggested a protest be held outside the walls of the Republican National Convention. That is yet another great idea.

Save the criticism and negative energy for the authoritarian tyrants who oppose liberty that for want of more power have hijacked America for their own hubris rather than the self evident truths found in the Constitution they falsely swore to uphold.
