I’m taking the bull by the horns on this idea and going straight to the top. I’ll be spending my day today getting this ball rolling and typing a letter suggesting this idea to the folks I think will help the most in making this happen (so long as they concur obviously) I.E. Mark Levin, Rush, Glen Beck, Ted Cruz, and Governor Palin.

My belief is that if grassroots events such as those that march against Washington or the truckers that recently convoyed in DC will and have gone so much as to go, and at their personal expense, all the way to DC with their support with phenominal turnout. You have to ask yourself, “Dang, what could the turnout have been if people who really wanted to participate couldn’t because of expense or job or whatever the reason.

This Idea brings those folks into being able to participate in a message without much inconvenience and no expense other than a quick trip to their local supervisor of elections office to make the switch.

I’d like some FReeper input on delivery of my letter to above mentioned people. I know that they are most likely bombarded everyday with all sorts of letters and want to make sure mine get through the clutter and was thinking of sending them out certified mail or FedEx to ensure delivery. Thoughts?

When it's important ALWAYS send snail mail return receipt requested, or a FED EX. like service. I believe the person the item is mailed to has to sign for it, or a legitimate agent of the person, and you get the proof as hardcopy.

In 1997, Promisekeepers was at it's apex. They convened a gathering in Washington, DC; STAND IN THE GAP, which I attended. The gathering exceeded the planners expectations. The mall was packed literally, from the pool west of the Capitol bldg. to the Lincoln Memorial, and up the elliptical towards the White House. People traveled by trains, planes, buses and personal automobiles. Over a million people attended. The NPS conducted the counting. All of the trash was picked up by the attendees. Thousands of box lunches went unused and were given away ($10 a piece- retail) at the end of the day. THIS IS THE MODEL. I would get the organizers of this event involved or mimic their plans. It needs to be done before the next election. A date that occurs in time for the attendees to be able to go back home and rally, campaign, register voters, gather signatures, canvas neighberhoods, etc. DO EVERYTHING LEGALLY POSSIBLE, JUST AS MY ENEMY DOES.
