Thousands of people have already poured into Washington, D.C. for a Saturday rally organized by conservative radio and television commentator Glenn Beck.
SNIP
Although camping is illegal on the National Mall, hundreds of people are choosing to spend the night on the grassy lawn of the Mall on both sides of the Reflecting Pool. They are doing that to get a better view on Saturday. Police say, as long as people remain awake, they may stay.
(Check out the video report of the crowd and Beck's pre-rally visit to the site at the source link. In the video, the reporter says there are equally large numbers of people in the hundreds on either side of the Reflecting Pool, hence I put the campers at a thousand.)

This is unprecedented in recent history of rallies on the Mall in D.C. to have a thousand people camping out at the rally site the night before. Many more will be arriving throughout the night because Beck is starting the rally at 10 a.m. EDT.
These people were the first to camp out at this area in front of the Lincoln Memorial earlier today:
Tea Party supporters claim their spots for tomorrow's "Restoring Honor" rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington August 27, 2010. The rally, organized by right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck, is expected to attract 100,000 people according to organizers. Reuters photo by Kevin Lamarque, published 1:20 p.m. EDT

Police say, as long as people remain awake, they may stay. Police: "Hey, your friend over there, he's sleeping isn't he?"
Friend: "No...no...he's dead. He was sleeping but now he's dead."
Police: "I can hear him snoring"
Friend: "Well, he's not quite dead yet. That's a death rattle. He'll be dead shortly."
Police: "Well...Ok...but we'll be watching. Hey, you're not going to sing, are you?"

Just got off the phone with some who are staying in a hotel crawling with conservatives who complained about no FNC...
Now FNC is available in the rooms and even playing in the lobby!

I’m glad people are rallying for freedom, but I just don’t get Beck. I had him on the radio as I was driving home tonight. I could only take about five minutes of his whimpering and sobbing before I had to turn him off. It was like the week Mark Levine spent talking about his dead dog, no thanks.

It's already a greater rally than the "million man" march created. ; )
In real numbers instead of MSM numbers....

I’m hoping that by tomorrow, it will equal the TEA party rally. I’m so disappointed that I wasn’t able to come.

C-apan is covering the rally beginning at 10. One one of the threads I saw a link to the Metro Police traffic cameras which would be fun to see tomorrow—but didn’t save the link! Rats!
God Bless all those who are there and especially Glenn, Sarah and Alveda—too many crazies out there!
