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
And look what post # you landed on...
ABC News: 1.5 million in D.C. today . WHooo-Hooo! Highways closed down and people back to Washington Monument!
Ah, that’s why I’m not familiar (mafiliar! grr ,typos!) with it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....Matt challenging the State Run Media on the headcount.
Kibbe also calling out the media that they will report incorrect numbers.
good for him.
...because she smells TROLL!
I’ll be!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!
I just checked on ABC News website, they are reporting hundreds of thousands.
God Bless America!

Methinks we're entering stage 3!
1.5 million! Wow. Someone called me from the Fort Lauderdale, FL rally and they said it is a very good turnout.
LOL. Isn't it GREAT!.
There is another way to get them out besides voting!
I think Jefferson said, “A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to obtain or preserve their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule.”
And; “When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty.”
Love the sign ‘fired up, ready to go’.
Will have to look later. I am riveted to the rally now
POST NUMBER 1776
awesome! Its like the conservative WoodStock!!
PARTY LIKE ITS 1776!! GOD BLESS THE PATRIOTS AND THE USA!
EAGLES UP all over the country. A great day to be an American. This huge turnout of individuals is a great indication of what the socialists will find themselves up against in the coming days. And that does not count those of us who are not there but are in agreement that America citizens are determined to take back our Republic from the socialists who now rule us. Thanks to all of those individuals and organizations who put this rally together.
I agree. This is a peaceful protest with people who are happy to be Americans and want to keep their country. The angry faces need to wait for the pitchforks and torches. We aren't there yet.
I wish people would just pull over and walk up to the rally
The US Parks Service should be posting their estimate of the crowd size.
If ABC is posting 1.5 million then it might be closer to 2 million and that would be amazing
