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.

WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 12: U.S. President Barack Obama's White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs (2nd-R), Gibbs' five-year-old son Ethan (R), National Security Council Director of Strategic Communications Denis McDonough (2nd-L), and McDonough's daughter walk across the South Lawn of the White House to Marine One on September 12, 2009 in Washington, DC.

Hi Holly. I’m running out now. Can you ping or FRmail me to let me know about your day when you get a chance? I can’t wait to hear about it.
Nice summary....what a day! What an event! What inspiration for all in this country who thought we would NEVER mobilize this many patriotic Americans = especially after the disaster in the 2008 election!
They think they have Soros and the trial lawyers and the unions billions.
They think they have Acorn’s vote fraud machine.
They think they have the Ayers, Van Jones, destroy America crowd in charge with no threats to their power.
Think again, Zero the Dictator Wannabe!
Post 2553 from roaddog727:
“BTW, just had a chat with one of my freeper pals here in DC. DC police were indicating to him an attendance figure of approx 2.0 million (Yes, MILLION) people.
In fact, when we were heading in this AM the transit police had to disable the fair card departure control points because they were createing a hazardous condition.
More folks were there than I ahve ever seen in one place in my life - and they were pissed! Orderly. But pissed.”

Consider this:
2.0 million folks represents. 2/3 of a percent of the entire US population.
That is a significant.
You DOPE!!!/s We all wanted to see what Mark’s stalker looks like!!!
I’m excited by the fact it looks like things went great today!!!
And for even better news. You didn’t miss much cause it’s still raining in NYC....
I would believe Michelle too. Thanks for the link.
Could you please send me a link to pass on to him? I’m sure it would be of great interest to him.
It’s a fitting tune huh Luv?!
I have alot of reading to catch up on today. LOL
I haven’t seen her but she called earlier & said they were reporting 1.5 million in attendance...amazing!
It was very loud in the background & I’ll get a report later this evening.
I so wish I could have been there on such an historic day.
God Bless America!
So do I. I just hope attendees were of sound mind enough to document the crowd size with photos. Those photos should be flooded onto the internet, so that nobody can deny what took place there today.
:-) :-) :-)
Thanks! Just came across your post scrolling through the thread. Mercy!
If BO Plenty and the DIMs aren’t shaking in their boots, they’re in sedation. These are voters. These are the people who will flock to the polls come November, 2010. These are the people the DIMs have been marginalizing, manipulating and demeaning for decades. This is fantastic!
I tell ya who believes this s**t....the collective body of sheeple that do not care to get informed. My brother once said to me....the more you get informed, the more you become conservative! For some people, their social life is truly all that matters to them! It is sad.

I have been looking at pictures of the signs, and that one is my favorite too. Very clever.
Proud Wingnut here as well...
May all in D.C. be safe...
And Thanks to you ALL!!!!!
I truly think it’s doable in 2010! It’s going to be a watershed year for conservatives and it’s ours to lose!
