We Need Scott Brown Rallies on His Route to Washington DC
1/20/09 | Myself

Posted on 01/20/2010 3:29:46 AM PST by gridlock

It would be great if we could organize a series of rallies all up and down the I-95 Corridor to cheer Scott Brown on as he drive the truck down to Washington DC. He is supposed to be driving down Thursday or Friday, so time is obviously short.

Maybe it is just a fantasy, but wouldn't it be grand to have a Scott Brown Truck Tour, so all of the folks who weren't lucky enough to be in Massachusetts to vote for him got a chance to come out and show their support?

Think of all the free publicity, and the fear it would strike into the hearts of the Congressional Democrats, if Scott Brown's drive to Washington was applauded at every turn, even in their own districts?

How would Frank Pallone of the New Jersey Sixth Congressional District react if 5,000 people turned out in Edison, New Jersey (Exit 10, New Jersey Turnpike) to cheer on Scott and his truck?

How would Frank Kratovil of the Maryland Fifth Congressional District feel if 10,000 people turned out in Harve de Grace (Exit 89 off I95) showed up to welcome Scott Brown to Maryland?

It could be hugh! I'm series!!!

Fantastic idea! Let's email the Brown campaign website as a start and see what they think.

Scott Brown needs a puppet of 0bama peeking out from under his truck for the ride to DC.

Email him and see if he is up for it. My wife and I were discussing it too. How about a welcome in DC as well, so all the other Critters could look out their window and see his reception.

The RNC should be notified too...In fact they should have thought of it already!

I'm going to try and call the Quinn And Rose Morning show in Pittsburgh this morning to float the idea. Howsabout some of us calling some of the national shows?

I’m going to his campaign website to send an e-mail now. We should send a few of them, though, because I am sure he is being inundated with congratulatory e-mails this morning.

MORE good ideas on THIS thread:
How Scott Brown can make it absolutely, positively, 100% sure the Dems won't delay seating him..:

...Wednesday morning, at 7am, Scott and his lovely wife should climb into his truck, gas it up, then head down I-95, acompanied by a caravan of supporters ( and a whole slew of news reporters and helicopters ) drive right in Washington DC, pull right up to the Senate, ask the Capital Hill police where senators are supposed to park, and annouince that he's ready to start work immediately..

Think about it. An absolutely brilliant maneuver...it would garner national attention.

Remember watching the Ryder truck drive the Florida ballots up to the courthouse?

This would be 100x better.

OK, sound off..and hopefully someone can pass this onto the Brown campaign...

Republican Scott Brown has been running ads in Massachusetts where he is out driving around in his old pickup truck while campaigning for US Senator something Marcia Martha Coakley refuses to do.

On Sunday Barack Obama slammed Scott Brown and his truck several times in his Bush-bashing campaign speech for Martha Coakley.

Obama - Everybody Can Buy A Truck

Maybe Barack Obama didn't notice that Scott Brown's truck is a GM truck.

Hey, "regular Joes" like us can organize Tea Parties and Freeps - this should be a piece of cake.
Just need his itinerary and we can have the longest Freep/Tea Party in history - Boston to DC along the I-95 corridor.

Glen Beck says we should muffle our enthusiasm until we know more about this guy.

After all, he posed nude and his wife is a news anchor.

I am glad he beat the Commie beatch.

It’s a great idea but I have to wonder if there would be security issues. We have to consider the RAT potential to become unglued.

During the victory rally I noticed guys who looked like bodyguards.

Could you imagine a whole slew of pick up trucks escorting Scott to DC? That would look awesome.

Actually, with all due respect, Scott himself would be the first to reiterate that it's the people's seat. He might not appreciate this particular battle cry.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Any news on this front at all? I don't live in one of those states?! But if I got wind of a driving itinerary, I'd certainly consider going east on a cheap flight and joining in the "Go Scott Go!" fun!

He was nude enough. (I saw the pics)

His wife is a beautiful and very popular news anchor in Boston. Tell me that doesn't get you some votes.

IMO, Beck is right on with his cautiousness and his theories on what's going on with our country.

You don't believe him (or me), hide and watch.

I believe his initial trip is tomorrow (Thursday). He is set to meet with some of the MA delegation. He will immediately leave to come back here to attend his daughter’s basketball game. Friday he heads to DC again. It’s unclear whether he will drive on Friday.

I think people are thinking too much of Scott Brown. While he is better than Cloakly, he is definitely NO Conservative. He is no different than McCrazy. He is still a RINO, but that is about the best we can expect from Mass.

Suggest to save the days off for the Tax Day protest and upcoming short-notice summer gatherings. I imagine the next 9/12 rally will be well attended too by the anti-American forces too.

We will have lots of opportunities to exercise our right to assemble and our freedom of speech. Now is the time to write letters to the editors of the local rags, become a PITA of every elitist member of our DC delegation and support a local candidate that will run on issues and express the principles that make conservatism what it is.

As a conservative then I would be really careful about getting too close to this guy. He is pro-choice, He loves Kennedy- not to mention a few Rhino’s. He is saying today that the vote last night was not about any disapproval of Obama.

Brown may be better than Coakley, but I would not put the reputation of the conservatives on the line by standing up to shout that he is the best guy in the world. Conservatives already went down that road in the last couple of decades and it did not work out well at all. They became associated with the neo-con movement, and rhino republicans. If we are getting our reputation back then lets not take a chance on blowing it. We must stick to our principles. Don’t get so caught up in the moment that we drift away from those principles. Do not let the party turn away from the anti-rhino movement that has been underway. We need to break that cycle, and keep on the path to taking America back.

Last night the republicans took a very important seat. That does not mean that the conservatives did as well. Time will tell. Do not lose site of that.
