How about a Rally for the President?

[CivicGrief]

I am only floating this here and have no way to make it happen. But wouldn't it be a powerful statement if hundreds of thousands of people went to DC to support our president and democracy? I think it could happen. I'd rather do it this way this time rather than as a protest after a second Trump victory. If they build it, I will come.

1. Very good idea

If this can happen.

2. A rock and role music festival

on a large country farm.

5. Wow, that would be cool.

8. A large country farm, in New York state!

Ideal!

11. I was serving Uncle Sam overseas in 1969

and missed that Woodstock concert. Now that I'm retired, I would not want to miss this one

3. That's a good idea.

4. K&R. Excellent idea! n/t

6. I believe that right now we'd have a HUGE turnout. I've never coordinated one, but I'm pretty sure

the Rev would know what to do! Does anyone have his ear, or know someone in the National Action Network? I'm 4 hours from there, and I'd go in a heartbeat!

12. I also think the organizers of the Women's March would be a good place to start.

It may be the coffee, but I am starting to feel like I actually want to do something to get this started.

[BComplex]

17. That's a great idea. Do you know any of them from the Women's March?

Can you call them?

[CivicGrief]

21. No, unfortunately.

I am as unconnected as they come. I am on vacation next week (I know, but my family has not had a vacation in a couple of years), and when I come back, I'll try to muster the nerve to start sending emails. I don't have any leads though.

25. We're all able to only do so much on our own. It's when we combine our efforts that we can move mountains.

Any little phone call is one brick in the wall!

7. I could catch a train from Florida and would gladly join in. n/t

[BoRaGard]

9. excellent idea

[edisdead]

10. Yes this!

[onethatcares]

13. it wouldn't have to be in one place

like the Womans' march it was spread over the world. I still see the t=shirts from that.

[edisdead]

14. Agreed but one major one would be ideal

We need to figure this out.

[thinkingagain]

19. A major one with

Smaller ones in whatever communities can set one up

15. What A Great Idea......

It would be good if this can be pulled off before the National Convention in Chicago.

It would sure put a damper on all the talk of House & Senate Dems wanting Biden to step down.

Whether it happens in one place like DC or whether there would be thousands of rallies of Biden supporters/voters - all around the country - the effect would be the same.

In fact I might support thousands of Biden rallies around the country - because then the local news organizations in these cities would be covering these rallies and reporting locally. Such coverage would further rally the voters in those cities as they see how much support Biden has in their own backyard.

We need to get the word out and maybe this could stimulate Dem backed organizations around the country get involved and pick a date and plan these rallies.

List your ideas here in this post as to how such nationwide rallies for Biden can be pulled off. What organizations in cities would make sense to get involved in the organization? Is there a date that has some sort of historical significance that can be targeted for these rallies?

16. I wondered the same thing, and also thought maybe

Across the nation, like Small groups in front of local Dem offices?

[Bluesaph]

18. How do we do this? I would join on the effort but don't know how.

[flamingdem]

20. I'd be there!!!!!!!

With bells on.

I remember the days of marches on Washington.

It matters.

[shrike3]

22. I'll be there. God willing and the creek don't rise.

[senseandsensibility]

23. A great idea

Hope it happens!

[OneGrassRoot]

24. kick. n/t

26. I'm in Salem Oregon and I'd come. Along with ALL my friends and family

27. Is tomorrow soon enough? I'm ready.

28. Maybe on Labor (Union) Day.
