I know setting the date of most of these events to the 4th of July is very symbolic, but is that really the best choice? That is the one day that Americans already gather in large numbers to celebrate. In DC alone the entire national mall area and surrounding are gridlocked with people who come to see the fireworks. How would you be able to tell who is there protesting and who is there to celebrate? It seems like your protest message would easily be lost in the noise of the Fourth. Why not set it for the day before? 100,000+ people on the steps of the Capitol or in front of the White House on the evening of the 3rd would get much more coverage than doing anything on the 4th.
