Why don't you include April 12 or 13th - the weekend before TAX DAY!
April 15 is a Tuesday - NO ONE will come!
April 19 is AFTER Tax Day - it will NOT have the same impact.
The whole country will love our Liberty - Get rid of the IRS statement - but only if it happens BEFORE Tax Day!

June 21st represents the day the Constitution was ratified, which would better represent our goal in returning to the Constitution. Not to mention Summer Solstice! |

I have never been to a march before, but from what I have heard the whole point is for the government officials to be there to witness it. So, should we not have the march on a weekday? I know it is harder for people who have demanding schedules, but would it not be more effective? I will come whenever you guys decide to have it! I live about 5 or 6 hours away, but my husband and I are self-employed and we never take vacations, so we can do this. Also, just a thought, does Ron Paul have a particular day in mind? I bet if he picked a day and made that known, the people would come. When Ron talks we listen! He is such a gentleman. I am very excited about this! |

April 19, 1775 - The first day of the War of Independence a/k/a Revolutionary War
The day of the "Shot heard round the world" –
The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War. They were fought on April 19, 1775.
For some months, people in the colonies had been gathering arms and powder and had been training to fight the British, if necessary, at a moment's notice.
The night of April 18th, Paul Revere rode through Concord warning everybody about the British attack. So when the British came in to take and attack the Rebels, the Minutemen, Americans who were"ready to fight in a minute," were waiting to attack at Lexington.
"Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they want a war let it begin heres" said Captain John Parker, commander of the Minutemen.
The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington. The militia were outnumbered and fell back. Other British colonists, hours later at the North Bridge in Concord, fought and defeated three companies of the king's troops. The outnumbered soldiers of the British Army fell back from the Minutemen after a pitched battle in open territory.
More Minutemen arrived soon thereafter and inflicted heavy damage on the British regulars as they marched back towards Boston.
Following this the following states would still need to vote:
Pennsylvania - 4/22
Indiana - 5/6
North Carolina - 5/6
Nebraska - 5/13
West Virginia - 5/13
Kentucky - 5/20
Oregon - 5/20
Idaha - 5/27
Montana - 6/3
New Mexico - 6/3
South Dakota - 6/3
Convention in St. Paul - 10/1 - 10/4
