Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.
Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.
Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.

Kristinn and all,
THANK YOU FOR GOING TO DC! I just started a new job last month in FL, and I just couldn’t get there. I will be standing on a bridge locally from 4-7 pm with my son and hubby in solidarity with you! My prayers and thoughts are with you, and since I don’t get cable, I am waiting with baited breath for updates on a live thread. Please make sure you put it in breaking!!! Godspeed patriots, and PLEASE thank any and every soldier you encounter for us! xoxox
Cordially,
see you soon!
Just got home from dropping my husband off at the airport. I’m excited to hear from him throughout the day.
See u at the march, brought two cameras with me but fell at airport and just lucky to get dressed, bad arm.
God bless...
Good morning Kristinn....
I’m just not able to be with you and the fab DC’ers today.
Give’em hell for us
Will be seeing y’all there in a little bit.
I wish me and mr sneakers could be down there with yunz today, but no-can-do. Instead, we’re attending a local Tea Party, fighting the good fight on local soil!
Can’t wait to hear how it goes today down there in DC!
Keep up the good work, kristinn!

Good Luck and God speed my fellow Freepers!!!! I will be there in spirit. Stay safe and give them hell from all of us who are unable to attend. Thank you Mr Jim Robinson and fellow Freepers for all you do! Oh how I wish Sarah would surprise us with her presence. D. C. would not know what hit them!
God Bless you my fellow Freepers
God Bless Sarah
God Bless our Military
God Bless America
Good luck to the PATRIOTS in D.C! We'll be with you in spirit.
Jim’s around here somewhere. Haven’t seen him yet. Syncro’s our main man in D.C. today. The media will be there to cover it. I’m not sure if C-SPAN is covering the rally but they should.
Regretful I couldn’t make it to D.C.
I hope to see some great t.v. coverage.
Go American Patriots!!!!!!!!!!
My family is gathering to celebrate Thanksgiving Day today, since our Marine will be in Iraq for the upcoming holidays.
Hope the day is good for the Patriots in DC
Prayers today for this great event in DC!!!!
BIG DITTO!!!! There today with you all in prayer and spirit!!!
Jim was just in the lobby 10 minutes ago.
I read that article....Sounds like the new so called study, (note how it comes from the Treasury Department) “new Treasury Department analysis “, is hard up to tell how so bad it is. Notice how they seem to not have any studies on how many are happy with what they have and just want to be left alone. They state “48 percent of all Americans under age 65 go without health coverage at some point in a 10-year period”...instead of, the majority that do, or are happy with just being left alone. I’m guessing this has to do with Geinther’s “capital extension”....convenient way to funnel into a continual packaged revenue stream, like MBS, but this time forcing every citizen in.
” watch out for lurkers from acorn and the union..... “
And if you do encounter them, be sure to count your fingers, afterward.... ;)
good luck...I’ll be watching all day...
how’s the weather??? I’m praying it’s okay for the patriots....
*****
FOX is carrying it live from 1 - 3 and Glenn Beck will be anchoring....you can watch all the action at blinkotv.com, tikilive.com, freetubetv.net just look for the FOX news link..........
How’s the weather? I hope it is a beautiful day!
I was thrilled to hear the Whistle Stop on I-30 mentioned on Fox last night, and how many were in attendance.
For those not going to D.C. here’s information about what you can do today.

From my Tea Party Organizer.
Have you made the decision to sign wave & march on 9/12 one of the Tea Party Events on Saturday?
Instead, are you thinking about mowing your lawn, cleaning your windows, painting your house or weeding your garden?
Some questions to ask your self as you are making the decision which to do.
Who is going to stop the government by the government, of the government, for the government? You or somebody else?
Who is going to put an end to those elected officials residing in their Comfort Zone of Corruption, protecting themselves while robbing you blind, then lying to you at every turn? You? Or your neighbor?
Our great country is about to be stolen, right out from underneath us. Who is going to keep this from happening? You? Or your Mother & Father?
Your taxes go up, while they lie to you and tell you they are making your taxes go down. Who is going to hold them accountable? You. Or some guy at work?
Who is going to stop these elected officials if you do not?
Many people have to work today, some are still going to try to attend some way, some how. Many more have Saturday off from work.
What are your plans for 9/12, 2009are you going to honor those lost in 9/11, with action or inaction?
Are you going show respect for the many who sacrificed
to be able to stand in harms way? The duty which they perform,
makes the simple act of driving to a Vermont Tea Party event, grabbing a sign and marching on a sidewalk in solidarity with others, look like an ice cream social.
Our Men and women abroad have the tough job of fighting for our country so we can sleep safely at night.
Our responsibility is to fight politically, to give them a country worth fighting for. Our job, our responsibility is an easy one by comparison; but unfortunately the excuses override the responsibility—inaction at the expense of Liberty & Freedom.
You must ask yourself, what have I done today to contribute to this most important of political Causes. Am I making an excuse to do nothing, instead of fighting traitors to our Republic?
If you do nothing....you will eventually have nothing...
it will belong to the State, and you will too.
THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW, PUT DOWN YOUR RAKE & PAINTBRUSH, PICK UP A SIGN AND COME JOIN US AND FIGHT THOSE WHO WOULD STEAL FROM YOU, YOUR GOD GIVEN INALLIENABLE RIGHTS OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND PUSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO SHOW UP
BE THERE
ITS YOUR COUNTRY!
Climb To Glory!!
10-4
will try, but alot of buffering time, my speed is too slow. Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes not. Maybe with all the freepers in DC instead of online, I may have a shot LOL. God bless all those patriots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama lied and the economy died!
the more pics the merrier - is it okay to ask for pics or will that clog up the site loading?
