It's interesting to note the
budget for this undertaking:
Continental Congress 2009
COSTS
The costs of CC 2009 fall into five principal categories:
1. The cost of informing and educating the body politic about the Continental Congress: what it is, why it is being convened, what the issues are, what’s at stake and the importance of reaching a critical mass of people (5% or more) willing to consider the justification of the course of action recommended by the delegates to the Continental Congress 2009 to bring the government back under the control of the Constitution.
2. The cost of transporting, lodging and feeding up to 153 delegates.
3. The cost of licensed stenographers and preparing an official, written transcript of the proceedings.
4. The cost of live web casting of the entire proceedings.
5. The cost of a team of professional independent contractors required to organize and manage the myriad of tasks required for a successful Continental Congress 2009.
6. Contingencies: special AV equipment, transportation costs for delegates who need financial assistance, service fees, overruns, etc.
Our best estimate of are as follows:
$1.3 million for Media Buys for July thru October.
$100K for event sponsorship (Freedom Keeper events that will help leverage awareness).
$300K for lodging and meals for delegates and staff.
$50K for stenographic services.
$600K for live Web Casting.
$200K for ten (10) Independent Contractors for six (6) months.
