One small thought...
Too many bricks on the same day will bog down the mail system and UPS, and DHL, etc. etc. Might be a good idea to make it a week long bombardment, culminating on Cinco de Mayo. If it takes off and 20,000,000 bricks hit D.C. on the 5th, only a few will make it to the capitol buildings mail room. Most would wind up in Arlington or somewhere in a warehouse. |

I can whip up a site if need be.
I just need somebody with space to email me FTP info and anyone else donating domains to buy and send the info to the server person, or send them the cash to buythe domain(s). I'll start working on something, somebody contact me with info ASAP so I don't waste my time. IM me here. I check regularly. I'll be up all night and most of tomorrow. |

1.) That's what we want. The more shit we give the politicans about their clusterfuck, the better. 2.) I highly doubt 20 million bricks will make it. Even if they did, it likely would not dampen postal efforts. And, if it did, we did a damn good job. |

This might be the coolest damn undertaking I've heard of since the Boston Tea Party. It's both brilliant in it's simplicity and the message it sends. Plus, just the thought of a bunch of bricks shutting down the DC mail system for a day seems rather comical. So you can bet it will get plenty of airplay on tv and radio.

According to godaddy...
Guys, this is one of those ideas of rare brilliance. It has the potential to go nationwide. I'm sure that we have some website talent here who can whip up a quick webpage and host it. I'll be more than happy to pay for the domain name. Let's not squander the potential impact of this idea by going off half-cocked. This effort should start with a date in mind, enough lead time for the idea to spread and a website outlining the mission statement. This is a BRILLIANT idea. |

Okay guys,
I've got a basic site going, i'm just getting the info in it now. I need: 1. Whoever's gonna host it to contact me with info so we can get it up. 2. Someone to buy: www.send-a-brick.com and www.sendabrick.com and get in contact with the host person to get them on the server I'm gonna put May 5th on the site now as a target date. Here is a link pic for when we get it hosted:  If you can help, have ideas for the site (content, links, etc) please IM me. Hopefully we can get this done by morning. Also, if we are going to do the shirt/button thing it would be cool if we could add a store to the site. I don't know how to set that up, so if someone else can do that, and I can link it to the site, etc. Also, do we want to have sponsors for this site? Like have a link that links to ARFCOM, Frugal, etc that are involved? Just a thought. If so, it be good to hear from some authority on ARFCOM about this. Keep the ideas/discussion going. All of it helps get ideas and wording for the site. Thanks. |

Something to commemorate OUR day, just something to say i was a part of this. I think it would be cool to have our own shirt, we could wear'em to protest rallies, etc. Maybe "I put another brick in the wall" and have a space/box we could write our arfcom name in, etc. |

Excellent work gentlemen. This is indeed one of those rare ideas that just oozes brilliance. It will also get eaten up in the media by people such as Lou Dobbs, Michelle Malkin, A nderson Cooper, etc. And it will make the politicians look like the bumbling idiots that they are. This folks will be big.
Now, we just gotta work hard to make sure the word gets spread...and quickly. We need to email all like minded friends and family. Post this in other boards (at least if the board has people that care to begin with). Write letters to your hometown papers. Call in to local and national radio shows. The word needs to be spread fast. Luckily, that can be done in the day and age of the computer. But unless we can get the word out to begin with, having a website won't help, as nobody but us will know to look for it. Ideally, many, many people will already know about send-a-brick.com before it's ever up and running. |

I don't have the slightest clue as to how one would go about building a website, otherwise, I'd volunteer to take care of one of them. But I am sure there are plenty of other folks here who'd love to host these for you. Thanks again for getting the first step to the sites started.

When the site is ready I'm pretty confident we can get Republican Women Talk Radio to advertise it. Via webcast and Podcast.
The hosts name is Tammy Munson. MrsSyn is friends with her and has been on the show. Tammy loves this kind of stuff. Charging handle: We have quite a few web designers here, My wife is one of them but she's a busy bee at this time. |

All right.
Just need www.send-a-brick.com hosted now as it is the name of the site. As soon as someone ponies up webspace I'll get the site up. BTW, Synister1 IM me with the details we'll need to get your domains on the hosted site. (if needed, I haven't had to play webhost in a while so I can't remeber what all you need). Regardless, keep in touch with me today so we can make sure this gets going while the iron is hot. I would hold off on spreading this too far until we get a site up. It shouldn't be too long. FYI, if someone would like to put together a letter that we can put on the site that someone can just print out and send with their brick, it would be a big help. Thanks. |

Oh yeah, I would propose that Cinco De Mayo be the INAGURAL charge for the sendabrick campaign.
Why limit it to one day? If people come in late (after May 5th, which is only a few weeks away), they might not bother sending their brick because they feel the efforts are already over. I propose we make the entire summer "SendABrick 2006: The Summer To Protest Illegal Immigration", with the first day of the effort kicking off on May 5th and going straight through till September. www.sendabrick.com Also, we could put (or link to) this video on the website media.putfile.com/Aztlan-Rising |

When Donna Dees-Thomases did the Million Mom March thing, I think she had a year of lead-time to let the idea stew and spread around via word of mouth. We don’t have that much time, given the current political climate. We must act now.
Seeing as the SendABrick idea isn't a "march" or a "protest" that will exist in the space of a single day but rather is more along the lines of a "campaign", it's essential that we utilize the advantages of a protracted campaign and extend it's effects over a period of time. |

In order for the "White House" to command the post office to "disregard packages", it would take some odd sort of executive order where the post office was commanded to open all packages going to a certain address and then dispose of them if they contained certain contents. It "wouldn't matter" because it isn't going to happen. |

A few things:
1. I don't believe it is illegal for a bunch of people to ship a brick to the Capitol building. Nevertheless, under the era of Homeland Security I sincerely doubt people at the capitol will be happy with thousands of packages showing up. What the consequences of that could be, I don't know. 2. If the media gets their hands on this, the smear campaign will begin immediately. "Extremist militia" websites like ARFCOM will get a public ass-whoopin by the press. Our mascot, after all, is a friggin' assault weapon. It will, however, make the news if the capitol building is flooded with bricks. 3. I don't know how the carriers will respond to this. It is unprecedented. 4. If this is legal, I'm in. Even with the concerns I have listed and many others I am sure that exist without my recognition of them, I think this is a brilliant idea. Imagine just 100,000 Americans caring enough to spend 11 bucks to ship a brick to Congress. Imagine the look on a legislator's face when he finds out that the capitol mail office is being flooded with bricks with the following note attached: "Since the US government seems to be struggling with the illegal immigration problem, I thought I would send you the means to begin solving the problem." I think it is exactly this kind of organic issue activism that must happen to reverse some of the deadly trends in modern American society. If this is legal, I am more than willing to send the US Capitol a brick or twelve...... |

Hell, make it May 5th to September 11th. That would be fitting, considering the circumstances. It would also allow the opportunity for everyone to send multiple bricks. Pretty soon, they'll get tired of getting fucking bricks.

Sweet, literally just waiting for FTP info and we're good to go.
Registered [email protected] as a contact email. We can upgrade later if need be. Another thing, those who send bricks, please take pics. Of the brick, you at the Post Office, etc. so we can put them on the site. |
