St. Augustine, Florida, schedued for tomorrow, keep the list open. We hope to pull in more people on a Saturday, including a lot of the tourists now in town.
Pittsburgh, PA = 2,000
Philadelphia Tea party tomorrow.
Where are these numbers coming from? The media or Freepers who were there?
Although I think the number was closer to 2500 or 3000. But that's just my opinion.
Yesterday’s estimate for Chicago (2 events) was 7-9 K. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Remember these numbers would be alot higher had it been a weekend.. So if the left says we failed remember we did not.
Moses Lake, WA 200
Poplar Bluff, Mo. 200+
Dayton, OH had 8,000 on the 13th http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/politics/tea-party-rally-draws-thousands-to-nutter-center-651528.html
Angels Camp CA 250
What is the estimate for Washington DC?
Yes. Also, they were spread out over hundreds of cities which is why it’s important to get a total. The national media won’t care about the small towns, and the small town media won’t care about what’s going on in neighboring towns.
So I think it’s important to do this. And don’t forget that not every town that had a tea party will have FReeper in it so we’ll miss a lot of them.
I’ve been to every tea party I could get to including DC and Richmond. Yesterday I couldn’t go because of a money making opportunity that I desperately needed. I’m sure that plenty of others ran into a similar situation.
Today’s paper says there were approximately 3,000, although I heard it as many as 5,000 at the Olympia, Washington Tea Party.
