We are excited for the Cleveland Trump Caravan Parade!

PLEASE read the entirety of this post so that everything goes SMOOTHLY.

 

• Note your route and plan it out in advance
• Begin with A FULL tank of gas
• Have Trump/Patriot gear displayed attractively and secure
• Have water and snacks
• Have a First Aid Kit (if you have one)
• Use body Cams/Go Pros (if you have one), or use the cams on your wireless phones

 

• Arrive early
• Please be aware that there may be more than one group planning to meet at the same staging area … so more than one line-up may be seen
• Please prepare accordingly; that if the group is splitting to go both directions, you will need to stage in that order accordingly
• Should you encounter any issues at your staging area and be asked to 'leave'... do so peacefully. Have a plan B, should this happen . . . or you can simply head to the Interstate
• Please have someone start the 'Pledge of Allegiance'/National Anthem/prayer at staging area
• Keep in mind . . . We become ONE group when we meet and begin to ROLL !!

 

• Enter the freeway with your 4-way flashers on
• Drive as SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE!! Try to avoid having to speed up and then hit the brakes.
• The less people that are hitting the breaks and gas pedal the better. This is NOT a race!
• Travel slightly under the speed limit (55-60), We do not want to rear end each other
• Stay in the middle or the right lane
• If there are three or more lanes, using the middle lane will allow other traffic to enter and exit the highway
• Try to keep 3 – 4 car length distance between vehicles. Allow
• Remember, we are the 'SHOW'

 

• If you are doing the continual “drive over” keep alert as traffic
increases, and watch for pedestrians.
• If you are doing a 'flag line' stay on the sidewalk at all times.

 

DO NOT stand on an overpass that does not have a sidewalk

 

• Remember to wear your seatbelt
• Very Important: - If you encounter those who may not share our enthusiasm – do NOT engage! Smile, wave and move on!
• We have taken measures to ensure this event is safe. That does not mean we won't encounter opinions that differ from ours
• If we do encounter problems, try to de-escalate the situation, show kindness as much as possible
• Do not instigate aggression under any circumstance! You are not the 'law’
• Always note your mile marker and exit numbers. Call 911 when necessary. The police are alert to this event. The men and women in Blue have you covered!
• Safety First – do not hang out of windows or ride in the back of pickups

 

Let’s show our patriotism, our support for our President, and our excitement about his re-election in November!

LET'S DO THIS WITH CLASS !!!!!!!
