Third, you can spend some time posting the link to our website on blogs and websites that cover spending, taxes, health care and the other issues that you care about. Encourage readers to sign up and become a part of history! Finally, spend some time calling talk radio stations in your local area and let them know that you and your family are attending the March on Washington on Sep. 12th. Encourage them to provide some local coverage of the people who are heading to Washington, DC to make their voices heard.

We’ve created this flyer that you can download and print out to promote the event! Take copies to local meetings of political groups, churches, civic organizations and other groups.

An activist from West Palm Beach, FL took the time to make this beautiful poster that you can print out on 11×17 paper.  Another activist in Northern Virginia took the time to format the poster so that you can also print it on 8.5 x 11 paper in both color and black and white.

Please tell us how you’re helping to spread the word to inspire others below.

Here are some great pictures sent in by folks who are coming up with creative ways to help spread the word.

  1. Would like to learn more about recruitement resources, please.

  2. I am a unemployed conservative American. Laid off 5 months ago from a oil field service company. I do not want to get back into the oil patch. I owned my own business before that.

  3. We need something that we (excited and active citizens) can put out there to alert the 912’s, the Tea Bag projects, Conservative groups and many other groups that this event exists.
    I have spent countless hours posting this even on dozens of sites, as many as I can find that seem relative, but I don’t know if it helps hust posting it to their calendar.

  4. Any other flyer designs?

  5. This event “The Mother of All Tea Parties” should be promoted by every like minded Talk Radio Show Host, every Cable TV Show and by Internet Sites that adhere to common sense issues. It should be so big that the National Media (ABC,CBS,NBC & Fox) all have to mention it sooner or later… The Advertising Pro’s need to step up and donate their time and effort for the Country’s sake !

  6. Could someone take lead on creating t shirts for this thing asap? I could possibly do something to move this along, but a t shirt press owner, may have better means to do so and could fwd on all of the profits to 912dc.org. I know I would buy several shirts, if we all start wearing them to the gym, grocery store, and other daily activities, we will generate questions and people still have time to put this on their calender if they learn of it in the next month.

    • I have established a website to market the shirt that my husband designed after experiencing frustration about what is happening in this country. It is time to let the people know that it is about the country not politics. Check out my site. The shirt says it all. They would be great for the tea parties.

  7. Barrett, I like your T-shirt idea! Bumper stickers with the website would be good, too.

  8. INVITE EVERYONE ACROSS AMERICA WHO LOVES OUR COUNTRY!
    NO to the present agenda! We have NO more time to waste with frivolities and entertainment. THIS TIME there must be REAL resistance of every legal kind and in every place of significance. Demonstrations, sit ins, marches, protests, impromptu speeches by the people. People in caravans, motorcades, convoys, processions by biking clubs, truckers, farmers, motor homes. Young and old. Every conceivable club, organization, association should be invited and participate en masse from their home towns to and around DC..everywhere in DC..constantly, and consitently. Special emphasis upon those venues of the FED, IRS, ACORN offices, Banks, Brokers, ..and especially the office buildings of the empowered agendites! VA, VFW, DAR, Sons of the Confederacy, GAR, factory workers, the foreclosed and jobless, small businessmen, ALL people..clubs..groups who love America, the Constitution and LIBERTY!
    NOto entertainment and partying! THIS TIME it’s for real! Enough of silly hats and frivolous signs. There must be a clear agenda of ALL that concerns us..what the key points are, what they mean, why people should care, what is REALLY the ageda and who is behind it! What is really happening to America and what will this mean to AMERICANS. Who has benefitted from or losses? Shout it on the streets, from the rooftops, from your cars! Why have our representatives betrayed us? Why does Obama hate America? Why do some like the bankers and Goldman Sachs get “special” treatment? We tried parties, peaceful tea parties! They didn’t work. Now the people must rise up, take off the gloves and SCREAM forth the truth in many ways and many places so that the truth WILL be heard. The REVOLUTION against GREED, CORRUPTION, LIES, DECEIT, and the sacrifice of AMERICA and American PEOPLE nationally and internationally STOPS TODAY!

  9. Would be nice if the flier at least had the logo on it. I would gladly buy bumper stickers for my vehicles and Tshirts for when we do our weekly protests.

  10. I took the liberty of making a slight, but I believe important tweak to the flyer before distributing it.
    I added “PEACEFUL” before the words “March on Washington, D.C.”

  11. I would be happy to get bumper stickers going if I could get a high resolution copy of the artwork. I have wanted to blow it up to vehicle wrap size and wrap my Jeep Grand Cherokee. OMG wouold the Seattle libs completely lose the plot!!! HeHeHe

  12. Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” Matthew 22:15-22

  13. If you know about GOOOH.com you understand how crucial it is to get the word out to as many people as possible. Please go to the website and join the plan to replace the corrupt politicians in the House of Reps.

    “We the people are the righful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”

  14. Hi all,
    There is one thing I hope we all remember about the 9-12 march and rally and that is what its original intent was.

    Glenn Beck in his kickoff of the 9-12 project referred to the great sense of unity this country felt the day after the 9-11 attack. It was his intent, and mine also, that this gathering reflect that sense of unity – not just with other 9-12′ ers, but with all the citizens of this great country. I fear the political divides that exist today will override this original intent. Please keep this in mind and God bless.

  15. 2 GIRLS FROM DALLAS WILL BE AT THE RALLY. GOOD AIRFARE ON AMERICAN AIRLINES. FOUND A TERRIFIC HOTEL FOR A GREAT PRICE. GO TO http://WWW.RESISTNET.COM. TWO NEW HOTELS LISTED GIVING GOOD DEALS TO THE TAXPAYER MARCH ON DC PARTICIPANTS. WE MUST ALL TRY TO GO. IT IS A SACRIFICE, I KNOW, BUT ONE WE CAN NOT AFFORD NOT TO TAKE. I LOVE MY COUNTRY!!!!

    • My wife and I from Fort Worth will be at the rally as well. We also found good rates at very good hotels and were offered good accomodations. And you’re right it is a very big sacrifice, we know all too well, but it has to be made. We have to show unity, we too LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!! We love the freedoms we take for granted and so often assume they will always be there. We also have to support all our love ones who have died to give us these freedoms from over the last two hundred years to today. May we all have a safe trip, and we’ll see you at the Mall!!!

  16. Know many people attending. Since we are unable to attend though, we are going to be helping get the word out to EVERYONE and display our flag on the house and our car, on 9/12. I remember how after 9/11 there was a spontaneous display of patriotism and solidarity across the country with the displaying of our flag and we are going to do this again.

    God Bless America

  17. I was at a Town Hall meeting in Tallahassee earlier tonight. It featured our “Blue Dog” Congressman, Alan Boyd, as well as a panel of two far left doctors with well known opinions on healthcare issues. It was moderated by a liberal newspaper editor and a surly local Democratic has-been. The hall only allowed about 220 participants, and overflow was regulated in a manner that sent a lot of frustrated people home. My wife and I were in a side room watching the panel on closed circuit TV while sitting on dirty carpet. The anti-Obamacare people clearly outnumbered the others about 3:1, if not more, and outside City Hall there were still more protesters with their homemade signs. Pro-Obamacare supporters were conspicuous with their print shop signs and NOW stickers…seemingly too lazy or lacking in creativity to produce a unique sign. Questions from the audience were asked from three categories of respondents: pro. con, or undecided, giving equal weight despite the overwhelming numbers of “cons” in the audience. Also, the good doctors acted as a buffer for Blue Dog Boyd, since some questions went to them rather than our Congressman. Who cared what they said? The whole thing was orchestrated to dampen emotion and give a false impression of balance on the issue. Two citizens refused to state their full names and addresses for fear of reprisals, one calling herself “Jane Doe”. When any emotion broke out, the retired Democratic hack threatened eviction with her nose in the air, Obama-style. It was an unsatisfying evening, and Rep Boyd stuck mostly to platitudes and generalities, although he is on record against the House bill in its current form.

    We have decided to come to DC and march in Mr Obama’s front yard. I am sure he will be out of town on Sept 12, as he hates criticism of any kind, sensitive as he seems to be, We shall not be ignored or organized to reduce our voice. My advice: bring your hand-made sign (not a printed one) and wear something patriotic. I have a hat and tie that look like our flag. On your sign, put your fictitious “mobster name”, mocking our critics. Mine will be “Johnny the Undertaker”. You can be Clyde Barrow for a day. Have fun with it.

    We are marching for more than health issues. We must stop the progressive granola heads from transforming our nation into a banana republic, while bankrupting our children’s children. Freedom itself is ultimately at stake. Get out of your recliner chair on Sept 12 and come to DC to be among your patriot friends!!!

  18. Just wanted to let everyone know….don’t give up if you don’t have a lot of money to get to DC. If you do the research there are some great deals out there. I was able to get tickets on Delta for $64 each way! Doubletree hotel posting $81/night rates too!

    I will be in DC no matter what!!!!!

  19. In respect for our 9-11 Victims and in support of our 9-11 Heros. In support of those attending the 09.12.09 March on DC. Why doesn’t everyone start flying our American Flag everywhere they can. NOW. I ask everyone one question: “WHERE HAVE ALL OF OUR AMERICAN FLAGS GONE SINCE 9-11?” OUR AMERICAN FLAG IS PROUDLY DISPLAYED IN FRONT OF OUR HOME EVERYDAY.

    START FLYING YOUR AMERCAN FLAG TODAY. LET IT FLY UNTIL WE AGAIN BECOME A REPUBLIC -”Rule of Law” NOT GOVERNMENT.

    • We’ve been flying our flag since 9/11/01. It’s been replaced several times but still hanging proudly. We have piles of seasonal flags that used to be on the pole. Thanks for reminding everyone.

    • We’ve been flying our flag since we’ve moved into our 1st house in 1996. It’s been replaced several times, but we’ve NEVER stopped flying it. We have now added the Revolution II flag to it!

  21. Cant wait till the march!!

  22. here you go:

    National Day of Service and Remembrance

    Please take a moment now to post your personal plan to perform a good deed, volunteer or engage in another charitable activity in observance of the newly established September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. Help create a wonderful legacy that honors the victims and those who rose to service in response to the attacks on America.

    http://911dayofservice.org/

    guess cheney forgot to tell bush it was his job to set up a national day of remembrance.

  23. How can we not go to this momentous event? Consider the sacrifices made by others so we could grow up in the America of our youth. Now it is our turn to fight for liberty – against all threats, foreign and DOMESTIC

  24. the organizer of your protest has a history of starting trouble:

    “Brendan Steinhauser was the Washington, D.C. chapter leader of the right-wing protest group, Protest Warrior. He led the counter-protest against the anti-war movement’s mobilization on September 24, 2005. The group’s confrontational and provocative methods have caused incidents at numerous peace rallies. Steinhauser also led an “infiltration” of a peace rally in San Diego in March of 2005, and protests of Michael Moore in Crawford, Texas and San Diego, California. He brags about making short films of his provocative “infiltrations” and distributes them to other activists. ”

  25. My husband & I have decided that we will be attending the March for our Freedom and right to chose. If we do not make a stand now our children and their children will suffer. I hope many others will come and support the cause.

  26. We are getting the word out and doing all that we can! See you in DC and then at http://www.TeaPartyNextStep.com – the place with a plan of action!

  27. I will be in Washington DC on 9/12 and would like a chance to play my song there. Please keep up the fight!

  28. I hope this note gets around to everyone that’s going to Washington DC on September the 12th.
    Remember you are not in your America anymore this is Obama’s America.
    In your America you are free to go to your nation Capital and protest your governments polices without fear of harm and retaliation, but in Obama’s America you will be met with his hired army (paid for with your tax money) who will oppose your every turn and try to cause a riot, could this be the crises he is waiting for to enact his radical removal of your freedom.
    If you are going to Washington on the 12th tell everyone to bring their movie cameras and have it ready when Obama’s army begins to oppose you, you need to show you are not the violent aggressor.
    Bring plenty of supplies in case the stores mysteriously run out of merchandise.
    Stay with your group and help others if they get confronted by his army but not with violence remember a picture is worth a thousand words, and Obama is looking for his crises to swoop in and take away your rights. DON’T LET OUR FREEDOM MARCH BE THE CRISES HE IS LOOKING FOR
    You might notify your Washington representative that you will be in town on a peaceful visit
    Wish I could be with you but I live too far away, my payers will be with you as you take our thoughts to our representative
    Hope someone is able to get a note to Paul Revere aka Glen Beck or to Fox TV and the radio stations so the people can be warned and on guard of what they might face in Obama’s Washington on the 12th

    Just another one of the minute men
    Pray for our cause

  29. I will be there with my husband and another friend – driving from TN!! Can’t wait to stand up for for America and what is right! God help our country! I am still shocked daily at what is going on and the direction our country is heading in…

  30. Please forward this to those who are going on your busses to DC.

  31. And here is some info I posted on another thread for those not taking a bus and plan on staying:

    May I make a suggestion. If you are traveling to DC, you do not need to stay in downtown DC. A matter of fact I would not recommend it. I recommend looking at using the metro rail system, it is actually pretty good.

    http://www.wmata.com/index.cfm

    I am staying up around Rockville and will take the red line into DC. An all day pass is only $7.80. You will find cheaper hotels, free parking, etc… you DO NOT want to drive anywhere near downtown DC… I repeat DO NOT drive in downtown DC. You will be wasting your time

  32. Since we are marching on Washington DC to protest big government I would like to sure my ideas on health care cost.

    RESTORING THE HEALTH CARE MARKET SYSTEM

    The Private Sector Can Do It With The Correct Guiding Policies

    The private medical health care system is not broken. It provides excellent care for patients. What is broken is the cost of the service.

    Before health insurance use became wide spread, the market determined prices. The doctor would determine what price he could provide the service for. The patient would determine if he/she was willing and able to pay the price. When a third party became involved, such as an insurance company or the government, the price rose to the amount of the third party’s ability to pay, unless price controls are put in place, as Medicare has done.

    The government decided to increase the number of people that were purchasing health insurance. Lobbied by the insurance companies, business and the medical industry the government decided to make the health insurance premiums tax deductible for businesses and individuals. Of course this set off a furry of creating health insurance policies that had very low deductibles.

    The problem of higher medical cost each year is created when the insurance companies are able to rise insurance premiums each year to pay for the higher prices of the medical establishment. Higher medical cost are also caused by low deductible insurance policies.

    When the patient uses the insurance policy’s benefits, he/she is not concerned about the price of the medical services, only the fact that they are proud of themselves for making the wise chose of purchasing health insurance and that he/she is getting their money’s worth. This attitude of the consumer, allows prices to increase. If they have chosen a low deductible insurance policy and it is totally or partial paid for by the employer, they are even further disconnected from feeling the cost of the medical expense. The fact that he/she or the business is allowed a tax deduction, equal to the amount of the annual premiums, takes away from the premium payer any desire to comparison shop.

    It would be better to increase the deductible amount and encourage the use of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). The maximum out of pocket health care expenses each year of the insurance policy should be tax deductible to encourage people to purchase health insurance. The government created HSAs to encourage people to save money for future medical expenses and encourage the use of high deductible health insurance policies. Health insurance premiums should not be tax-deductible by employers and private citizens. To level out the cost of the health insurance premiums, the private citizens and the self-employed should pay the same amount as the employers and employees of large businesses. The insurance companies should be encouraged to make this change so more people would buy health insurance and the insurance companies could lower premiums by spreading the risk over a larger number of people. When insurance premiums are no longer tax-deductible people will purchase Health Saving Account insurance policies. They should own the policy. The employer should not provide the health insurance. The person can then take the policy with them if they become self-employed or are employed by another business.

    With insurance premiums not being tax deductible, the employers, private citizens and the self-employed will be more likely to comparison shop for the best deal on health insurance premiums and policy benefits. It will encourage the insurance companies to be more diligent in their negations with the medical industry, because the purchaser of the health insurance would be more sensitive to the price of the premiums. As more people purchase health insurance, the insurance companies would be at less risk of having to pay out money for benefits, therefore would be able to lower health insurance policies premiums. HSA health insurance policies should be used all across the country, so we do not repeat the same mistakes of the past. Preventive care benefits should be available without the payment of a deductible amount.

    HMOs and government run health programs are slow to provide services because a medical board or primary doctor must first approve medical procedures. Other countries central run medical programs have shown this to be true.

    The insurance companies should not be allowed to deny medical insurance to a patient with preexisting conditions. It is best to include the entire population into the medical insurance system, in that way the risk is spread over the largest amount of citizens.

    Since the deductible amount will increase with this plan, instead of the government paying directly for 100% of the medical expenses of the working poor, it should match dollar for dollar, each dollar placed in the HSA by the person or family, up to the maximum out of pocket amount. The same policy should be applied to the insurance premiums. The money could only be removed, with a debit card, used by an approved and willing medical office with the approval of the patient. Both the patient and the medical facility would have to enter their pin number to have the money removed from the HSA.

    If a person does not have an immediate life threatening illness or injury, the hospital should be allowed and be encouraged to deny the patient medical attention after being seen by a doctor, intern or nurse in a screening room. The hospital should then give the patient directions and availability information of the nearest urgent care unit. Advice to see a doctor the next day usually is not good advise because of the appointment system doctor’s use.

    Computers can also be created to send vital signs to a doctor or nurse so they can determine if there is an emergency.

    With the patient responsible for paying the bill, out of their HSA, because of the high deductible, they will be encouraged not to abuse the system and seek help at the appropriate facility. Hospital emergency rooms would then be available for patients that have a life threatening illness or injury.

    The treatment of non-life threatening illnesses or injuries in the hospital emergency rooms is a major money stream for hospitals. Hospitals should be denied payment if they do not follow this policy change.

    People should be allowed to fund their Health Savings Account from their IRA or similar account.

  36. It’s too bad nobody understands Federal Code or Constitutional Law – I spent two years in a law library pulling up the Congressional Record, trying to get evidence to bring a lawsuit in Federal Court. I told Congress that somebody was trying to crash the economy, and I know who did it.

    It’s goo bad nobody understands that the FICO Score is the biggest culprit in America. There is no FICO score in the Constitution – nobody has to have a score to survive in America – There was no personal credit score until about 1968, and banks didn’t use FICO until 1971 –

    FICO and the credit reporting agencies, along with Congress, turned America into a debtor nation reliant on credit, on purpose – it’s a loan sharking scheme to bankrupt Americans

    So if anybody reads this, be sure to get back to me. I have all the research, FOX News. When you get done grandstanding, let me know. I’ll explain how you got into this mess.

    • Oops, spelling error

      It’s too bad, not goo bad – sorry

      • Don’t understand how FICO works? Allow me.

        I have the internal documents that calculates your score. My husband is a mathematician. There is no score that can predict your ability to pay down debt. My husband looked at the equations – it’s a mathematical equation they call “magic math” – where the score is manipulated to produce whatever result they want it to produce

        Congress tried to throw it out in the 1960’s, they called it the “Poor pay more” economy, where poor people pay higher prices and interest, simply because they have nothing to start out with.

        Under this scam, they use up their living expenses paying inflated prices and interest, and go broke. This creates a submissive dependent population. Poverty equals dependency.

        However, the scam was to tip the economy so that everybody went broke, wiping the slate clean. Then the perpetrators would survive and rebuild under their own terms.

        There is a New Constitution entered into the Congressional Records in 1971 – and it does not include any freedoms. They’ve been re-aligning manufacturing and populations, according to the new constitution – which also does not include individual states.

        So standing around Washington DC waving signs, without really knowing the agenda, makes everybody look controlled. Which you are.

        • You don’t understand why they tossed people out of their homes. You don’t understand why they bailed out the banks, instead of homeowners.

          Because, it’s all a component of a larger take-down that started with FICO in 1968.

          Notice, in all the economic meltdown, they still expect you to keep your FICO score up?

          Why on earth would you do that? Who created the economic crisis? Did you do it? No, the decisions that created it were made in Washington and Wall Street. The FED made that decision for you.

          But YOU are expected to maintain a “good” credit score. Notice? Nobody is ending the FICO scoring scheme. Is Congress ending it? Of course not. They don’t even understand how it works.

          The minute you end FICO, you’ll get your country back.

  37. Hey guys… I just found great cool home power survival stuff on SurvivalHomePower.com I love it. This guy knows his stuff. Solar cooking, Solar heat, see the generator running from wood !! Neat… just FYI, we all know how hard it is to find good survival stuff these days.
