Great photographs. Contratulations to JimRob and all the other organizers for putting this together.
I’m sending out a link to that website to my list, as “must see” pictures.
Here is a real good picture of in front of the Capitol.
The pics are VERY significant---b/c the MSM measures crowds by the size of civil rights protests
(right pic)..........which the MSM likes to point out extended PAST AND AROUND the pool.
I was watching the same webcam. I picked it up when the crowd was just filling in between the two red roof buildings and within 1/2 hour this shot was showing filled the whole street. No fake. Netroots numbnutz just can image or allow this many to be ruining their little plan.
Here’s proof that it’s much closer to 2 Million than half a million.
Take a look at this layout showing crowd capacity in the area

so you can see that there definitely were more people than at the inauguration.
Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
You're right! Now it's important to Keep the Momentum Going by writing, protesting, bloging, FAXING, calling, emailing, "passing it on", Tea-Partying, etc. We have just begun to fight! We are taking the country back, one way or another! We shall NOT STAND BY and WATCH the COUNTRY TAKEN OVER by COMMUNISTS! HEY OBAMA, EVERYONE KNOWS NOW! You're MSM did a great job covering it up. EVERYONE KNOWS and we're Taking Our Country Back!!
Was there another gathering down by the reflecting pool? Because, the march I was at only extended from the Capitol building a little way into the mall area.
Nope. The capitol building is cropped out of the pic being compared to the civil rights March on Washington. You’re comparing the reflecting pool to the pond at the Grant Memorial. Thanks for playing . . .
Very nice
And heartwarming at that. The boilers are being stoked. If these movements increase in size and intensity the clowns on the hill and the occupiers of the WH will get very nervous along with all the one world government folks in their many different disguises, who essentially run the show in the US and the rest of the world.
As one who attended this event, I too am comfortable with around 500,000. I was part of the first wave that started walking down Penn. Ave. I got to the Capitol and sat on the south lawn for at least 45 minutes before working my way back to Penn Ave. As I walked back on Penn. Ave there were still thousands streaming toward the Capitol. It was amazing!!
The comments about the crowd are right on too. Though people were upset at what Obama’s government is doing, they were civil and well behaved. They also did not trash the place like other Leftist gatherings.
Lastly, the issues on the minds of the crowd were wide spread across the whole political spectrum. Deficits, loss of liberty, healthcare, ACORN, corruption, the banking crisis, abortion, guns, education, defense,. I saw it all! And some of the humor in the signs folks carried was priceless! WHich I had a picture of the one with George Washington addressing the current Congress and saying “WTF?”.
LOL
Regardless of the counts, we should keep in mind the significance of the day. Finally, we are seeing grass roots conservative oriented orgs getting together and forming protest gatherings. The silent majority is no longer silent.
Or how many more of us out here weren't able to make the trip to DC this time.
Wonderful - thanks for the post - aren’t those pictures fantastic?
Your photo on the right shows the reflecting pool between the Lincoln and Washington Monuments. The photo of the 9-12 March was taken (I believe) at another pool nearer the capital building.
