Yeah baby that is of all places Cleveland, Ohio. "Just a few hundred protesters" per Fox 8 News. Guess they couldn't count past all their fingers and toes. Crowd estimate from WTAM and Organizers was 5,000.

Great Video from the Cleveland PD

I caution people, though: Sarah Palin had huge turnouts and it meant nothing in November; and the media didn't cover it at all.
Locally, the Dayton Daily Worker DID give the tea party front page coverage with appropriate captions.
My gosh, the guy in the green jacket looks like John Lennon!
There was a report about the Deetroit T party. An estimated 500 blacks showed up with T cups for the free tea
Eradicate Left Wing Extremists in Office! Vote them out of office!
Good morning PA Mom!
There was a fantastic crowd in Washington! I would say at least 500, probably more.
It took us a while to find a place to park, so we didn’t get there on time. I know that the man who is going to run against Murtha was there and he had a phenomenal speech. I don’t recall his name (any help there?). But I didn’t see or hear if Murphy was there. I know he was supposed to be.
We didn’t get to stay as long as we wanted because my husband is getting sick and satnding in the cold rain was not going to help him.
But it was a great crowd none the less. I’m happy to hear our western PA tea parties had such great attendance and that all of them acorss the country went off peacefully with a firm message!
I attended the Phoenix, Arizona Tea Party at the AZ State Capital yesterday. Today, the State Capital Police estimated the crowd at “ 5,000+ “ and they probably underestimate if anything. Massive crowd!
Salvation, thats a bad link, BUT a great singer! That was my bad, I deleted that post for that reason... (spanks self) sorry about that.
Thanks, I was in bed sick, yesterday.
Glad to hear the turnout was so successful!
I watched and recorded the Tea Party events on FNC and FBN yesterday. Good stuff all over the country. !
The lie about it being a “Republican sponsored” event was taken out of KVAL’s report so we were successful in that effort.
Watching KEZI’s coverage one wouldn't think there were more than about ten people there. Their reporter gave a lot of personal face time to the sole disruptor, but several of us clustered around and made the footage unusable.
I actually talked to the guy a bit, and his mission was to preach the environmental doomsday gospel. So I guess not really a disruptor, but an obvious supporter of the Present Occupant who thought his pet issue wasn't being given it's due in Washington.
Thanks,
It ain't easy sometimes, living here, it's a great place to live but the politics are brutal for us conservative types. Voting results in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties are generally 75% "them" and 25% "us." Texas is looking really good these days.
Wonderful! Many thanks to you and your friends!
What I really noticed was that there were NO police. I walked around for a good hour and saw maybe two or three cops.
Good luck to you.
