The following tips on organizing a rally are provided by Operation Support Our Troops (www.osot.org). Their Safety Guidelines are especially helpful. More detailed information about can be found on Free Republic's FRNetwork at http://saturn.he.net/~danger/freepnet/scripts/for_organizers.html.
ORGANIZING A SUPPORT OUR TROOPS RALLY
All you need is a few friends, a flag, and a "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" sign. Pick a busy traffic area, and you will draw a crowd and it will grow. The silent majority want their voices heard, so a rally is the way to be heard.
Have a note book for a sign up sheet. Have everyone list name, city, phone number and email address. You can email everyone on the list for your next rally; make that email a newsletter with stories and email from the troops.
Remember, it's just getting the word out to everyone and hoping
for the best. With each rally you hold, the number of people
attending will grow!
It is a lot of work and is a lot trial and error. Good luck!
