EAGLES UP !!!
Oh, and IMPEACH OBAMA!
just watched the rally on CSPAN, some observations: 1) the complete absence of trash and litter
2) the near complete absence of uniformed police
3) the average age was 50+ years old
4) most of the organizers seemed to be women
5) CSPAN couldn't of shown better coverage if we paid them
6) i had a lump in my throat more than once
7) for once in my life, i feel like i truly missed out on being part of history in the making...
more pictures plz!
Mrs. exit82 and I got to our hotel in DC about 10:15 am and valet parked the car. Many, many people at the hotel had signs and were heading to the March. We got to Pennsylvania Avenue about 10:40 am by 11th St. intending to go to Freedom Plaza for the start of the March at 11:30 am.
The March was already in progress almost an hour early!
And it was a SEA of people.All the signs were wonderful, witty, and not printed by ACORN.
Just regular Americans by the hundreds of thousands.
We marched to the Capitol and it was already packed from the building to around both sides of the reflecting pond in front of the Capitol. We made our way to the North side of the West Lawn but it was wall to wall people!
We met folks from everywhere from 3 months old to their 80s.
One of the speakers said there were folks there from all 50 states. Lots of state flags and American flags, but the most numerous flag was the yellow Gadsen “Don’t Tread on Me” flag, in all sizes.
We were there at the Capitol from 11:30 to 3:00 pm.
Even though we walked around, we could not find the Freeper contingent.
As far as the crowd size, I have been in DC for marches and rallies before, once in a crowd of 300,000(Rally for Life, April, 1990). This crowd was easily more than twice the size of that one.
My estimate is about 700,000. And that is at the low end.
Everyone was friendly, the signs were great, and everyone laughed at each others signs, and took pictures of them. The crowd was well behaved.
There was too much fencing at the Capitol, which was putting people into dead ends. Even so, everyone was good natured.
During the March we had a rolling yell, starting from the rear and working its way to the front. The sound of hundreds of thousands of people yelling, with the sound echoing off the buildings on both sides of the street was the loudest thing I have ever heard. It was like being behind a jet taking off.
There are still a huge number of Americans who GET IT and who love their country.
A sleeping giant has been awakened, and the giant is NOT happy.
I wonder where the Freepers ended up?
Just saw post rally report (molly) on Fox News. Where’s all the trash? The place looked cleaner than it did yesterday.
Fox screwed the pooch on this Tea Party. I had to turn to C-Span to enjoy it.
Beck should have went to the Tea Party.

4000 in Denver at the steps of the Capitol in dreary weather. We had the Gay Pride running circles around the Capitol on bikes. And a dozen or so pro health care people egging on the gays on the bikes.
Oh, forgot to mention that Governor Ritter (a democrap) chose to be out of town today.
Early on there was reports of SEIU and other 0bama water carrying thugs planning of being bussed there and causing trouble - any signs of these communist pinko bedwetting slime balls today
Temecula Tea Party - September 12
Pitbully and I made the trip from Banning today. It was a great turnout and very rewarding experience.
Now. We know the enemy, THE NEO-MARXIST DEMOCRAT LEFT, what is another enemy, just as deadly, just as destructive, which is an “enemy from within” IE...
IF WE TRUST OR ALLOW TO USURP “JOHNNY COME LATELY” HASBEENS AND LIMP WRISTED SELLOUTS LIKE JOHN MCJERKOFF, TRENT (IDIOT) LOTT, NUTE GINGRCH, HUCKABEE, AND OTHER LIKE “PLAY ALONG TO GET ALONG” NITWITS THAT DON’T UNDERSTAND THE TRUE NATURE OF THE ENEMY, WHAT HAS BEEN STARTED ***WILL***BE***DESTROYED***.
I YELL FOR A DAMN GOOD REASON.
It looks like thousands. Pat on the back for all those present, I am there in spirit.
What happened with CNN? I can’t get the video off Drudge to work for me.
Can someone fill me in?
How can we let them know what we think of them? There is no "Contact" tab anywhere?
