WASHINGTON — Thousands of people protesting what they call out-of-control government spending are marching to the U.S. Capitol in downtown Washington.
The line of protesters stretches several blocks, as people chant "enough, enough" and "We the People."
Others are waving U.S. flags and holding signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress," "I'm Not Your ATM" and "Obamacare makes me sick."
Some men are dressed in colonial costumes with tri-colored hats.
Protesters plan to march later to the U.S. Capitol.
FreedomWorks Foundation, a conservative organization led by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, organized several groups from across the country for what they're calling a "March on Washington."
