Subject: 912 March on Washington Update

We have received a lot of emails and phone calls from you all about where things stand with our 9/12 March on Washington. Every day I talk to someone new who is chartering a bus or booking a flight to come to DC for this event. The energy is high, the momentum is growing, and the day is getting closer. Just a few minutes ago, Glenn Beck announced that he will cover our event from his Fox News studio in New York City!

We are trying to keep track of registrations for the March, but we know thatmany more people will simply come without registering. That is fine, but wedo need to get an estimate of the expected crowd for logistics purposes. We are in meetings every couple of days, locking down more logistics for thethree-day event, booking speakers, managing our volunteer list, marketing theevent, doing interviews and raising money. These things are taking up a lot of our time, and we know that if we all work hard, it will pay off big time on the day itself. What we really need from all of you is the following: help calling talk radio stations; posting comments on blogs; alerting the local media to cover the event; helping us raise money to pay for the expensive equipment and supplies; and recruiting as many people in your neighborhood to come with you to DC.

If all the people reading this blog post help us by doing these things, we are guaranteed a successful event. The potential for this event is huge, and it is up to every one of us to commit to recruiting as many people as we can to come.  Finally, be sure to check our agenda page for updates on training sessions, grassroots lobbying, press conferences and the March details. This will be the most up-to-date source for breaking news about the March. Other sites are helping spread the word, but they may have incomplete or incorrect information. Be sure to let them know if something changes on this site. We have a lot planned for the March on Washington, and we are excited to work with you for the next month to ensure its success. We have worked hard all year to take a stand for liberty, and we have made an impact in the debates in Congress. But now we must come together in the spirit ofprevious marches on Washington, and unite for one day, in one place, to display our power as a movement.

We have the potential to be the kind of historic movement that makes a long-lasting impact on our country. Namely, we the people have the power to stop the movement toward socialism taking place in our country. We have the power to stand up and defend our Constitution from the politicians and their political hacks and machines. And we have the power to defeat big government and its enablers, and saveour country from those that wish to fundamentally alter it.  Ask yourself, what would Thomas Jefferson do in these times? What would Samuel Adams or Thomas Paine do? Please join us in working harder than ever the next month to focus on one event that will shockthe nation, and make enough noise that our voices echo into the ages. Together, we can do this! See you in September.

Sincerely,

Brendan Steinhauser
