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.

No clue if this is accurate or not, but people are tweeting that DC police are estimating 1.2 million.

At least that many.

People who started marching first had already arrived at the Capitol grounds way before the "mob" at Freedom Plaza had even begun to march. And the last of the crowd at the start-point of the march is just now crossing 13th St at Pennsylvania Ave.

Way more than a million, I will bet money on it.

And the March isn't even scheduled to being, leaving Freedom Plaza for the Capitol for another 7 minutes.

LOL!

Poor Jake....Born With A Forked Tongue In His Mouth...LOL!

I refuse to applaud the man just because every now and again he asks a ‘hard question’. They are all pathetic!

Is it likely to be the largest crowed ever assembled in Washington for a rally protest ?

[GoCards]

Just got a call from the John Coryn Senate Committee, said sorry cant help now watching the Walk. Also said please tell Cornyn that he needs to choose sides. After the Spector Toomey debacle.
Not a fan of Cornyn if you cant guess that.

PMSNBC - PMS'ing reporter-ette just slavering for her man-on-the-street dude to tell her that mini-riots are breaking out all over and 21 conservative thugs have been arrested so far.

Daughter just called and said the D.C. police had motorcycles blocking the parade route. She said they are walking around the barricade.

Anyone heard of this?

BTW, she said she has NEVER seen a crowd like this! UNBELIEVABLE!

[sheikdetailfeather]

MSNBC to reporter: “Did it get unruly? Has there been anything that would indicate any arrests?” Reporter: “No. Composed and peaceful, but very spirited.” One of the people walked behind him and smiled really big and raised his arms. LOL!!! They showed a pic of Pelosi with a long nose. hehehehe.

I’m planning to attend!

Even mentioning that it wasn’t just about the Democrats, but Tax and Spend Republicans.

Or course, Could NOT actually focus on the people who have an 80+ seat majority in the US House, and a 10+ seat majority in the Senate.

Hmm Bush's last deficit. $160 billion

The 0's 1st deficit $1.6 TRILLION.

See the problem here with this fraudulent attempt at moral equivalence?

[RockinRight]

Anyone got estimates of turnout?

[TADSLOS]

Don’t count on Cornyn. He’s a republican weasel.

7th and Pennsylvania

Fox just said 2 hours of coverage. Won’t start until 1:00 eastern. Hope people are still there in three hours. The kidneys may not hold out!

[SE Mom]

holy crap! 1.2 MILLION?!?!

We have to find a way to verify this asap!!

[madison10]

Goosebumps here.

[LakeLady]

These signs are tooooooo wonderful. It’s so much better than all pre-printed signage.

[penelopesire]

Who knows. I don’t have those kind of stats at my fingertips. It is still growing though. State run media still saying ‘thousands’. It’s time to start saying ‘hundreds of thousands’ it looks like to me!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

How are those people going to last without a potty?

Ted Kennedy?
