Estimated attendance: 14 people attended.
The location has been changed from point state park to the Hilton due to construction of the fountain and other areas of the park.
The group will rally together at 11:45 in front of the Hilton Hotel in downtown Pgh. We will then march to the federal building down liberty avenue at noon. We will then stand together till 2 pm with signs and will distribute informative material and conversation to passers by regarding the fed reserve, monetary policy, income tax, etc. This event will happen the same dayk on a larger scale in D.C. For those that are unable to make it to D.C this provides a local alternative to getting active. Even if there are only 5-10 people it will still be an event worth the effort!
We ask that people please dress to project a "good image" to the public while representing our message. Nothing over done but nice, not sloppy.
*SUPPLIES:
Ruth and Sara have created pamplets under the "file" section that can be printed out and distributed to passers by. Also, Andy (A) has made a few hundred copies of Freedom to Fascism DVD's to hand out to people as well. Anyone going downtown should contact him at least a week prior to get a hold of those for distribution. Anyone willing can make some signs to take with you!

Brett Boye (+1 guest)“ It was great to finally meet some fellow Ron Paul supporters but also to help spread the word about the Federal Reserve and the IRS. I'm guessing that many of the other supporters went to the DC rally and thus the number of folks at the Pgh rally were smaller but nonetheless, it was worth it. Cheers. ” -
“ It was nice meeting more revolutionaries and chatting about a wide variety of topics. ” -
josh0 (+2 guests)“ Eventually, what started as a demonstration or "protest" turned into what it should have been, a friendly canvassing operation. This was much more effective in reaching people... but still not enough. What I learned yesterday is, if it's less than 200 people, it's not a demonstration. We're better off just splitting up and TALKING to people. Engage them one on one, and know your facts. Don't hand them paper. Know what you're talking about, and simply TELL people, with the conviction and authority of someone who's done their research. If they have questions, be prepared to answer them. Given the time, most will still listen to a fellow human being who presents a reasonable case in a cordial manner. Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more apparent that civic protest, demonstrations, skillful canvassing, and even well made documentaries are NOT going to get us out of the mess we find ourselves in..................
