Republicans must demand an investigation of the DC Fire Department Estimate.

Congress has jurisdiction over the DC and its time to find out who are the Obamarats and ACORN nuts in the DC Fire Department that provided to a national news outlet such a ridiculously low-ball estimate.

I’m not there but no, those pictures show a few hundred thousand at least. Whether it reached over a million or even 2 million not sure. But conservatively 200-400,000 should be a reasonable estimate.

This is the first time I have ever heard a crowd estimate that came from DCFD. usually the Park Police give the estimate, but they screwed it up so badly before , maybe they dont give it any more.

approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people flooded Pennsylvania Ave

I guess the people between the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial don't count.

This can’t be true because no one in the D.C. fire department can count.....

Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as “Obamacare makes me sick” as they protested the president’s health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.

What date is this picture from? The half-staff flag narrows it down (and excludes 9/12/09).
