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.
Free Republic 9/11 Candlelight Vigil from Washington DC
It was a surprise.
[Anyone know why the US flag in the pic at post 259 appears to be at half mast?]
My neighbor has been flying their flag at half mast since the marxist was elected.
Godspeed, Patriots!!! How I wish I could be there—you are marching into history!! :*)
Thank you all for representing ME and my children—be careful!
I am gobsmacked at the size of the crowd in the streets already on those traffic cameras—it’s only like 10:30 in the morning! WOW!!!
Someone said that CSPAN would be covering it. Don’t have the link though. I don’t think CSPAN is going to cover it until it starts though officially.
Yay!!!! I’ll be there this afternoon
Yes, they are out of touch.
But so far they are also covering the event much more than FOX or CNN.
My point was that not all could go to DC no matter how much we wanted to. We don’t all have the money or the time to go off for two or three days.
Absolutely! They are still streaming in! GO AMERICA!!
I thought Jim Thompson was the point man for the patriots?!? ;-)
LOl Did they put it up when Ted Kennedy died? The president orderd all flags to half staff for 30 days for Ted.
I sent a screen shot (with url) of the huge crowd to Drudge- begged him to post it front and center at the top of his site...we’ll see.
The more of us that send it to him- the better!
The 100,000 are merely a representation of those who would have liked to have been there, but could not. Maybe they should multiply the 100,000 by 5 or more. We are Freaks for the Republic.
Freedom Works website says CSPAN will be covering from 1-4PM (eastern I assume).
Just saw an aerial shot on MSNBC. They are shocked but quickly went to seems as if Bama has growing support for health care. ASshats.
Yup. It woulda’ been nice but the piggy bank is starving and he ain’t gettin’ a meal anytime soon. :-)
Me too! Tears from the first live shot. I'm so proud of everyone there.
Yes and others will be gathering elsewhere across America today.

If he thinks he’s going to continue to ignore and mock the 85+% of America who disagrees with him, he’s got another thing/think coming!! LOL!!! I’m not able to be in DC but I can feel the patriotism from here in TX!!! YAHOOOOOO!!! :-)
The march wasn't supposed to start until 11:30am.
I think the area had become too packed to hold any more, and they had to start marching.
I'll betcha if they wanted to, they could encircle the downtown area from the Capitol to the White House. With people to spare.
God Bless them all!
