Announcement to clear up confusion surrounding March on DC in September!

Over forty National Grassroots Organizations and at least two representatives from local levels of all fifty states are organizing, planning and executing the March On DC in September. It is the first ever event that is FOR the people and truly run BY the people. This is a purely grassroots, non-partisan coalition of American voters that is representative of the swing vote that will control the elections this November. We have all parties represented (mostly Conservative Independents with Conservative Democrats and Conservative Republicans but also represented is Veterans Party, Libertarian Party, Constitutional Party, Conservative Party, etc.). While all have varied political agendas….all have three things in common….Conservative, Constitutional and American! That is what this is about….restoring this country’s values, principles and the true constitutional ideals of our founding fathers. We have literally beat the dead horse long enough carrying signs that protest partisan politics and corruption…it is so far beyond that now….it is time to Unite In Action... and show the world American Solidarity... in what makes this country so strong….the Freedoms Guaranteed under its Constitution as well as the responsibilities of her citizens to preserve and protect those freedoms.

The National Board for the 912 March on DC to be held September 11th on the National Mall just came back from a very successful meeting with the National Parks Service, DC Metro Police and the Capitol Hill Police and all is a verified go!

There will be a two hour 911 Memorial at 7:00 AM at the Lincoln Memorial to honor the fallen that tragic day. Many of the first responders and families of the victims will be involved along with various speakers. This is our time to honor our founding fathers, fallen soldiers and victims of this terrible tragedy. We will renew our vow to never again allow this kind of tyranny, be it foreign or domestic, to threaten our soil again.

Those we honor did so for their posterity. Now it is our turn to do it for our posterity…so starting at 11:00 AM, we will take DC by storm (peacefully, of course)! The march will run from 3rd Avenue and Constitution down to 17th to spill into either the Ellipse, Washington Monument or Lincoln Memorial areas where the rally will take place. There will be staging at the Washington Monument and Massive Screens on stages at the Ellipse, along the Lincoln Memorial area and the lower Washington Monument. The sound system will cover the entire area.

There will be ample porta potties this time around with sufficient water supplies and food. This time all of the city run concessions along the National Mall will be open during the march and rally.

The rally will begin at 2:00 PM. It will last for three hours. Politicians, candidates and political strategists will not be provided a platform to speak at this event. There will be grassroots speakers, veterans, and patriotic entertainment. All speakers and entertainers will be announced at a later date.

We will be taking no sponsors for this event. It will be funded by activities held within each state to raise funds for their own groups and the national level will host its own fund raisers to fund the events. Other donations will come and be accepted on the individual level only! We will not accept donations from political parties, corporations, organizations or PACs.

There will also be the first Conservative Tradeshow held at the Reagan Center on September 9th and 10th. For more information on this please go to www.marchondc.org. We will have grassroots training classes, caucus/vetting training, seminars and lectures by leading Constitutional Authorities like Earl Taylor along with nightly entertainment venues open to the marchers. Night clubs will be set up with a different style of music or entertainment in each room (country, jazz, oldies, and rock near the National Mall).

There are over 30 hotels blocked through the organization for the marchers with prices ranging between $79 and $99 with a handful of hotels between $129 and $149. All are in Downtown DC, Arlington, Crystal City, Pentagon City and Alexandria. From the March on DC.org website we are developing state websites for local groups and organizers to arrange buses, air charters and hotel blocks to keep the states together and share resources.

There is another event that was just announced three weeks ago that is not be confused with this event. That is a march being hosted by Freedomworks and Tea Party Patriots. Their event is for the Washington Monument on the 12th. It is a one day event and they are also doing classes on the 11th for activist training.
