Great pics. Thanks for the post.

Agree; my favorite as well. I wore my NRA cap (and I’m a middle aged woman!) which seemed to shock a few passersby. We were here in L.A. right on Wilshire Blvd. and vehicles were zipping by — it’s four lanes each way on that street — very heavy traffic.
When a carload of thugs flipped us off or yelled nasty remarks, I just grinned and pointed to the “NRA” on my cap. More than one car sped away, quickly rolling windows up as they went. I loved it.
3 million x 25 = we win. Big. Epic.
That’s not a pic from yesterday. That is from the awesome Promise Keepers rally in 1997. Yesterday’s pic from that angle would be similar...but that is not one.
Thanks much Jeff Head. A GRRRRRREAT day it was!
Unfortunately, that pic was not from yesterdays rally.
If someone were to create a daily website with Crossword, Sudoku, Jumbo, Word Search, and Cryptogram puzzles; as well as Horoscope, and Bridge columns; AND no commercials, would anyone be willing to pay 25% of their annual newspaper subscription to receive it instead of their liberal AP rag?
Hi Jeff! I used a couple of your posters on my sign.....and I saw some on others signs as well. Thank you!!! =)
Because there was no permit. They made the announcement during the tea party. I thought all sh*& was going to break loose!
Will be there in the summer of 2010 at whatever event is planned at that time so we can deliver our petition and signatures to congress.
You are welcome. A great day indeed...all over this nation!
Based on my crowd-counting experience over the years when exiting the NFL’s largest stadium (93K plus), I’d say it was, at a minimum, twice that crowd.
Just curious, where did you find the 20,000 number for the Ft Worth rally? The Startlegram posted on their website it was only 1,000. I was there and it was defintely in the thousands. I talked to people there who had come to Ft Worth from Houston, Tyler and Amarillo. The local TV channels gave it next to no coverage at all.
Jeff you are correct. Here’s the Promise Keepers’ \”Stand in the Gap” photo as shown on FR back in Jan. 09 comparing to the inauguration crowd.

Go up four post to #12 and here’s the inauguration crowd as seen from satellite:

Over 20,000 came out in Ft. Worth Texas alone.”
Right, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, whose main offices the protesters were marching by, reported it as “...over 1000 people...” and also reported the Washington DC protest as “tens of thousands.”
“All the news that reflects our views...”
Buuuump!
That appears to be a shot taken at about the time C-Span finally showed their aerial view, looked just like this.
It was after the event when many had already left.
No, it's from StreamingLiberty.com
