How Many are going to be in DC for 9-12 March? (vanity)

I've been looking for some reasonable estimates. Someone just called me to see if I was going, which I am, and said that it could be a million plus.

Personally, if we get 50,000 plus marching on Saturday I'd be very happy.

How about calling it a “Million REAL Man March” or would that be too provocative?

All sorts of people who have never gone to anything before in their lives are going, so I think it’s going to be pretty big.

The only thing I have ever gone to were a couple of big pro-life marches in DC. One was particularly huge...and not a word was said about it in the press. It was as if we had had hundreds of thousands of invisible marchers. But with the Internet and Twitter, that’s not going to happen again!

I know of one person in Colorado who is flying to DC just for the march... how many others like him I wonder?

People should block and paralyze the traffic and streets around DC until Hussein resigns and eats his BC.

The US Parks service will take photos from overhead and can calculate the size of the crowd.

I agree - 50K is a decent size - over that would be nice.

I’m sure according to NBC, several hundred will have shown up— If they report it at all.

Not me.
  1. I don't think of washington as the hub of all things.
  2. Remember the Bonus March? Democrat Presidents are too dangerous when cornered.
  3. I don't go east of the Missisippi any more.
  4. I don't go to foreign countries where I can't bring my gun

OTOH, you can count on me to march on Sacramento or ask Jackie Speier uncomfortable questions.

Count two more (my wife and me) from Colorado. We are arriving on the 11th and making a mini vacation of it. As others have said, we have never done anything like this either but given the current state of the country we just HAVE to be there.

Nope. He’s my big brother, four years senior, and not a Freeper. But I guess he does qualify as a right-wing terrorist.

Sorry to have to post this, but to the extent it can predict this far out, weather.com has a 30% chance of rain for Saturday in the form of isolated thunderstorms.

Pack an umbrella, everyone.

I would like to see a tally of all attendees at 9-12 rallies across the United States.

I wasn’t going until two days ago. There will be three of us travelling 550 miles for just two days. But we have to go; the fate of the Republic depends on it, as does our kids’ futures
