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.

AWESOME! You are a dear for posting that pic! Thank you!

[HokieMom]

Three of the television sets were tuned into the local NBC news affiliate at Gold’s Gym this morning. They did a long interview with a man in a Stars & Stripes shirt and a cowboy hat. Volume was muted but was able to read signs over his shoulders about tort reform and other various slams on Obama’s health care plan.

There’s a report on their site with a place to leave comments here

Thank you! I couldn't figure out how to do that.

It looks like these revolutionaries are ready to storm the Bastille!

Thanks. That’s good - we’ll get good coverage plus he’ll be safe. Can’t imagine how overwhelmed he must feel. It will keep him encouraged in the midst of all the attacks and threats.

For those wanting to follow from home. Looks like the trolls(media matters) are at this site trying to downplay the crowds. It could use some ‘FReeping!

Go Get em’

[McLynnan]

We, THE PEOPLE, are coming!

[snippy_about_it]

Wow, thanks for the traffic cam. It’s a hugh crowd. LOL. Nearly brings tears to my eyes to see all those patriots!

[TomGuy]

I remember when Santelli first made his Tea Party rant in February.

Neil Cavuto gave brief coverage and then remarked that it would be a day or two event and then would fizzle.

Well, Neil, fizzle seems to have turned into SIZZLE.

[KansasGirl]

Bulls & Bears is ticking me off. This is not what I’m tuning into see. They should be giving full coverage to the events in D.C. FNC is clueless.

[GoCards]

We need to send these pics to CNN AND MSNBC. Stupid asses. Anyone posting of facebook and twitter. I dont do either.

[My hearts in London - Everett]

Can you imagine how huge the crowd would be if all the people who wanted to be there but couldn't were there???

[presently no screen name]

I agree. Also, the expense they are incurring - it should be a tax write off! They are doing what the elected officials refuse to do while getting paid to do it!

[Right_in_Virginia]

The MSNBC anchor babe is incredulous . . her voice was rising when she said: “There have to be 100,000 people there”.

Now they’re discussing whether these 100,000 people are “freaks and nutballs”.

[khnyny]

I agree - the new ROE are a complete mistake and downright criminal! Thanks for spotlighting what should be plastered on every media outlet.

August was the deadliest month for our troops. So sad. Pray for our military.

[tioga]

oh, cool.........thanks for the link.

[NautiNurse]

Can you imagine how huge the crowd would be if all the people who wanted to be there but couldn't were there???

Imagine how small the crowd would be if all the people who scrambled and sacrificed to be there found reasons they could not attend.

[TADSLOS]

This crowd is already much larger than seen in Tehran during their protests yet the media managed to overcome the Mullahs oppression to free speech and cover it. Now, not so much. Telling.

[TomGuy]

[McLynnan]

I think the correct term is “mobsters”. Funny how they look like everyday Americans, isn’t it?

[taildragger]

Kitchen, Thank you X 3, I can stream from where I am. I have some conservatives around at a sportingn event that want to keep tabs.

[RightField]

One of my favorite signs so far says, “You Can’t Strengthen the Weak by Weakening the Strong” or words to that effect.

[stockpirate]

OMG

[DJ MacWoW]

That’s unfair to Freepers who have lost jobs and to those who are truly struggling.

[Iron Munro]

Anyone know why the US flag in the pic at post 259 appears to be at half mast?

Is it because our Resident-In-Chief is Half Ast?

[madison10]

Wow! So many people there I wasn’t even sure if it was a real photo. Stay safe everyone and take a punch for freedom (if you have to) ;)

The MSNBC anchor babe is incredulous . . her voice was rising when she said: “There have to be 100,000 people there”.

why do you watch that MSLSD stuff? It will rot your brain!? :-)

[TADSLOS]

9-11, I suppose.

[jimbo123]

Flag is at half-mast for Teddy the murderer.

[GVnana]

Crowd now in view at 3rd and Constitution. 14th and E st. crowd still the same size! March moving at a quick clip. I would guess that indicates a large mass of bodies moving down that avenue!

[Naspino]

We’re losing them on the traffic cameras as they approach the capitol — anyone have a link to a camera that will keep up with the march past 7th street?

[RightField]

TrafficLand is a wonderful site. You can click on each camera to get the view. Just zoom in close on the map.

More are on the way MSNBC.....WE SURROUND YOU!

Reports that the buses and metro are still packed!!

I heard CNN will be covering it but I will be watching Beck at noon. WHOOHOO! Fox did show some of the signs in the background on Bulls and Bears.

[BAW]

Some music to watch by:

[TADSLOS]

That is absolutely a MASSIVE crowd!!

They are so out of touch!

[cripplecreek]

The day of the Jackson Michigan Tea Party I had $11 in my pocket. 10 of that went in my gas tank to go to the rally and the other dollar went into the kitty for the Tea Party express.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

is it on C-span? can I watch it on the web? I don’t have cable!

Help!

The rudeness of it took me aback also, DJ MacWoW. I am only working part-time and having to live with my daughter who’s in the Navy. Totally uncalled for post by NautiNurse on such a great day for all conservatives, IMO.

[stayathomemom]

Just got a call from my husband. He’s in a cab on his way there from the airport and being dropped off at 12th and Constitution, ready to join the crowd!

[GVnana]

Chants of “You Lie!”

[kalee]

Still in the 30 days for Ted Kennedy.

[DJ MacWoW]

Not everyone can do that when pay is late or the check bounces.

[VA40]

It see the crowd all the way down at the 3rd st. cam. I’m in tears! CNN just showed aerial photo - all the way to the whitehouse.

[bray]

Bigger than anybody dreamed!! Completely unbelievable. This has to be approaching a million.

Pray for the March
