There was a swell of people standing with us as the march drew near--mainly people who went looking for an announced counter rally by another group at the Washington Monument that was cancelled without notice. Most of them joined in with our counter-chants or held small American flags.
The sidewalk from 9th Street to just before 7th Street where the mounted Park Police were was two to four people deep when the Communists/anarchists rallied at the Navy Memorial. About 65 people bunched up by the mounted police rather than stand on the front lines.
Our numbers started out at about 40, then grew to about one hundred an hour before the march. We had just around double that when the march stopped at the memorial.
Whatever count the media had is accurate for when they counted, so I'm not going to criticize them for that.
I'm not trying to inflate our numbers--whether it is one hundred or two hundred, the yahoos had thousands more people on the street than we did.
That much is obvious. ;-) Thanks to you and all of the others who stood for our God-given liberties. Apparently, they're going to have another rally in October. We should try to organize another counter-rally.
Great job! I'm envious though; I wish I could have been there. I've been preaching about that "Anarchist" bunch for a while. Whatever the motive was, I'm glad you guys sat on them; proud of ya'!
Thanks for the updates. Give my congratulations & applause to all those deserving.
