WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of protesters fed up with government spending marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, showing their disdain for the president's health care plan with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" and "I'm not your ATM."
The line of protesters clogged several blocks near capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. Demonstrators chanted "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to House

I just saw NBC news segment of the rally. I was shocked. The coverage was excellent and fair.
Just “tens of thousands?” That’s what they said at the start of the “CBS Evening News.” Someone can’t count.
Meanwhile, my local CBS affiliate in Bangor, Maine showed a march of 20 moonbats in downtown Bangor, Maine, demanding “Single Payer Healthcare.” Included was an interview with one of the grey-bearded leftists. They were from the so-called Peace and Justice Center, and at the end of the story the anchorette actually gave the telephone number of the “Peace and Justice Center.” I wanted to barf.
Thanks to the patriots. You guys are the best!
for what it’s worth, the Capitol Police estimated attendance at 1.2 million.. ..but even 400K can’t be IGNORED, either..
Thanks for being LOUD enough to cover for those of us that could Not Attend.
Thanks. What a wonderful sight.
“You Lie!” is the new battlecry!
Just from photos I see it looks more along lines of 750k plus present.
Ya have to consider numbers will be worked by the MSM to meet their agenda.
Our small Texas rally was about 2000 folks with folks who I KNOW voted for BHO attending with signs against BHO’s Obamacare etc .......
We snoopy danced home a few minutes ago so dinner a beer an a nap are on my agenda for the next few hours.
Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as “Obamacare makes me sick” as they protested the president’s health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.
The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.
Hopefully this is only the beginning.. just openers..
WTF is up with that???
There is nothing wrong with 75,000 which seems to be the prevailing number.
It looked like more than the “million man march” to me.
Yeah, most of the MSM seems to have latched onto tens of thousands, and that’s that.
Par for the course. Just like the March for Life which gets completely ignored year after year.
Now. We know the enemy, THE NEO-MARXIST DEMOCRAT LEFT, what is another enemy, just as deadly, just as destructive, which is an “enemy from within” IE...
IF WE TRUST OR ALLOW TO USURP “JOHNNY COME LATELY” HASBEENS AND LIMP WRISTED SELLOUTS LIKE JOHN MCJERKOFF, TRENT (IDIOT) LOTT, NUTE GINGRCH, HUCKABEE, AND OTHER LIKE “PLAY ALONG TO GET ALONG” NITWITS THAT DON’T UNDERSTAND THE TRUE NATURE OF THE ENEMY, WHAT HAS BEEN STARTED ***WILL***BE***DESTROYED***.
I YELL FOR A DAMN GOOD REASON.
