I agree that this a major issue that is perfect for a grass roots campaign, although I think a march is premature.

I think it first needs to be brought to the public's attention in other ways, and I hope this will be topic for discussion at FRiva Las Vegas.

A related issue to this is the scandal of our elected representatives in Congress voting on huge legislative "Omnibus" bills that they never read, with the result that vote on laws without even knowing about them.

I would rather start a drive to abolish the 16th amendment.

I'm sure they would be willing to form a $50 million a year panel to study the issue.

Want to "March on Washington"? Then start coordinating it.

A word of caution... even the most organized, well-publicized demonstrations with a clear focus require that "online warriors" shut off the computer and get their butts out to vocally support the cause.

The DC Chapter organized an excellent Patriot's Rally for America on the Mall on April 20th of this year to show support for our troops and demonstrate against America haters. This was publicized on FR about 2 months in advance, there were press conferences, they spent a ton of their personal money, and they booked excellent speakers (Bob Dornan, Niger Innis, Joseph Farah, etc).

You know what... hardly anyone came! It was a shame. Every Freeper within a day's drive should have been there. It certainly wasn't a secret, and it certainly wasn't a questionable cause.

I don't mean to attack you or anyone in particular, I just think that talk is cheap, and if you want to make a difference, don't just talk about a rally, do it. Set a date. Publicize it. Actually get the ball rolling.

Harvey Gross has written a book on Gov waste and as far as I know, continues to follow this issue. He'd make a great key note speaker. Include the abolishment the 16th amendment in the battle cry to march and the turnout may be more than "them" in DC can ignore.
