I can’t make it to Washington DC today for the national 9/12 march, but I’m with all the marchers in spirit.
It’s been an unprecedented year for limited government activism. It would never have been possible without the early initiative of grass-roots leaders in the #tcot community on Twitter, Smart Girl Politics #DontGo — and concerned moms like Keli Carender and Amanda Grosserode who stood up in their communities against reckless spending in Washington before anyone was listening. Before the cable news was paying attention. Before it became fashionable for politicians to latch on.
” “12:34pm Eastern: Police estimate 1.2 million in attendance. ABC News reporting crowd at 2 million.” “
When I got up this morning, I had the thought that I was prepared to be impressed if there were as many as 100,000 in attendance...
Silly me.... ;)
please post a direct source so I can counter
people on another forum are saying a tiny crowd
This is great news!
Time lapsed video of the march from that webcam. Pretty cool.

Great video!
Too many for even ABC to ignore"
Praise God!
Love the way the grass-roots people brougt their own $hit Houses personalized with the names of Barney Frank, Rangel, Reid, Pellosi, ETc. on them. Great Job!
We had 2200 at our favorite street corner tea party to celebrate the 9/12 rally. One of the biggest hootenannys around these parts.
Two million people who TRAVELED to DC isn’t a ‘fringe’ group.
I would love to be a fly on the wall in Pelosi and Obama meetings right now.
Oh my... I am crying.
I wish I could be there, but my prayers have been with all the people there all day. I am proud to be an American... again.
By the way, as hopeless as I’ve felt over recent weeks, I feel a strength. A quiet resolve. This is AMERICA! We will not let them destroy us.
I am so so so proud of all Americans who marched on DC today. I hope there is another so I can get there next time. It was stunning to see the size of the crowd.
I am so disappointed that there was not ONE prominent conservative talk show host or reporter there. It baffles me. Where were Beck, Ingraham, Levin, Rush, Hannity, Tammy, Michelle,? ... I’m sorry but Beck’s program today was a let-down.
Did they think there wouldn’t be enough attention on them, or what? What’s up with that?
Media Spin: It wasn't as big as people first thought.
DITTO ! What's up with that? !
We need links for these from an ABC source. No one is giving one that I can find. ABCnews.com currently says 60-70,000. That is obviously insanely low based on the pics.
They were probably invited....BUT, remember, if THEY had shown up, the press would say it was all because of THEM...not because of the outrage....so, really it’s fine they were not there.....NEXT TIME!
