Jul 12
Sat 9:00 AM
Location
Washington D.C.

Precise location to be determined...

Estimated attendance:  24  people attended.
5.0

So far 14,000 people have pledged to attend. Let's make this event a huge success, spread the word!
Go to revolutionmarch.com and pledge to march if you know you will be there. Also, please R.S.V.P for this event as soon as you know you can go. We may have 150 people going down from Pgh alone and that will require a lot of transportation planning and funding. Hopefully this one will be easier for people to attend than the April 1th rally as it is in summer for students and on a Saturday for those that have 9 to 5er day jobs.

You can go to http://www.revolution... for more details and to make donations to ensure the success of the march and rally. So far the site has only raised about $1,636 dollars out of the $10,000 needed for the rally so they need everyone's help! This was taken from the revolution march site:

To give you a small idea of the costs that will be involved. We need to pay $51.70 PER HOUR PER POLICE officer that will be required to help monitor the march. Also, we will need to rent 30 or 40 porta-potties. Don't forget about the stage, sound, and electric setup that will be required to reach tens of thousands! These items are just a small piece of the overall expenses, so please help us get this fund raising under way while we finalize our budget which we will publish soon. Thank you fellow revolutionaries!

    We've got space in our van for 2 more. Will need to chip in around $25 for gas and tolls, and will need to bring around $7 for for round trip DC Metro pass. Leaving from Oakland 6:30AM Sat, so will most likely miss the march but will be there for the rally. Returning the same day. Call me at 412-969-1258

    We are organizing a chartered bus trip to DC for the July 12th rally. The cost will be $50 in advance and if we fill the bus up- a partial refund will be prorated. Based on prior experience this payment method is the best policy with no exceptions. Make your check payable to Jim Barr and send to Jim Barr, 200 Frankfort Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15229

    I like Gary's idea. As long as we organize early so we make sure everyone that needs a ride will have one.

    I suggest trying to carpool more to save $ vs. chartering a bus. Perhaps individuals, if so moved, could donate the projected savings to fund the march. Four of us traveled on the 15th in a van that could seat 6 comfortly. If the owner/driver decides to attend this one, he might consider taking 6. He asked for $20 apiece for gas, though if we experience more price hikes, he might need more.
