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.

I will sleep a bit less fitfully tonight, knowing he saw the massive crowd of anti-marxist protesters building.

As Mr. Obama traveled to Minnesota on Saturday to rally support for his health care plan, he flew over the assembling crowd in Marine One. The helicopter could be seen flying overhead as the demonstrators marched down Pennsylvania Avenue.

From your link:

PLUS: President Obama tells Steve Kroft in an interview airing Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on CBS News' "60 Minutes: "I intend to be president for a while and once this bill passes, I own it. ... So I have every incentive to get this right.”

How ARROGANT!!!!!!

What time did his chopper go by? I saw a helicoptor around 11:30’ish, but thought it was the news. We all waved at it while we marched, lol.

if we’re to stop the commies in congress and in the White House.

The commies have to take note of the increasing unrest, and they will accelerate the speed of the jam downs coming our way, knowing their days are indeed numbered. Next up he will again push Cap and Tax and Amnesty can only be right around the corner.

You’re not kidding - we were chanting “where’s the press” “Hear us now” over and over at that time - waving our arms up like ‘Can you see us?’ I think he saw us, we were kind of hard to miss - even without the arm waving. lol.

As for FreedomWorks, they may have been the organizers of this rally, but if they think they can control the movement, rofl. This is its own life form, and FreedomWorks will call the shots about as successfully as the Weather Channel can dictate to a tsunami when and where it will hit.

They would not have put as much money and effort into this rally and movement if they didn't think they could steer it in the direction they wanted it to go or at least have some input.

FreedomWorks may be a non-profit, but they are very well organized and have some large donors and corporations behind them. They are putting their resources into this movement because they believe they or their donors will get something out of it, not because it makes them feel good about themselves.

I'll eat my words and acknowledge it as having its own life, when the tea party folks organize a protest on their own without some group like FreedomWorks laying the foundation.

Gosh. Hope he didn’t get heartburn or anything like that, what with the busy day he had ahead of him.

Bless his heart.

correction: Constant flow of people walking 20-30 abreast down Pennsylvania Ave. pouring into the Capital hill area. This has been going on for at least an hour and a half since we arrived at about 11:00.

The British Daily Mail (online edition) has a good article about today’s protest march, which states in the headline and the first paragraph that there were Two Million Americans in attendance today.

Leave it to the foreign press to beat our MSM to the facts every time.

I was there, like I said. Just tired of all the dumb comments about no port-a-potties when I know for certain they were there....and too tired to try to figure out exactly when you were where, frankly.

FR ladies need to start a new rule. Anytime someone posts a picture of Al Franken, THIS pic automatically goes on the thread to counterbalance

Agreed! We'll all need an antidote.

Now. I nominate "Colonial Girl" as the symbol of the march:
