Local Nashville TN radio host (WLAC), Steve Gill, was at our Tea Party. He said that those who know these things estimated 10,000.

We just got back from our rally in the state capitol of Washington state (Olympia). We are guessing a couple thousand, maybe three thousand were in attendance. My friend who works at the capitol said they haven't seen a bigger crowd.
State patrol was taking video of the crowd and there was a guy on the capitol roof taking photos of us because we are so dangerous (i.e. Homeland Security Report). It was a beautiful day here and there were people from every walk of life and from both parties. People young and old. Lots of kids. It was great! Let's keep the pressure on!

Kristinn, you'll not get a number from (guessing) 50 percent of those held, unfortunately.
But, to keep this short, I'm betting over 2 million people contributed by the end of the day.
(Just a SWAG by multiplying 2000 sites by an average of over 1000 each. It could be that the average is much greater. I suggest you average all that report, and do the multiplication. ~grin~)

Salt Lake City at the Federal Bldg. in the mid 30s and snowing. I originally estimated at least 1000, but I was at the back and to one side. Andyman was more centrally located in the crowd. His estimate is 3000. Given the pictures he took, he’s probably closer than I am.

Fantastic! I was so hoping there’d be a clearinghouse of sorts for the various tea parties. I attended one in Eustis FL today and do not have a figure. My guess would be about 400 people. Maybe more. And this is a small town. If I get harder numbers, I’ll re-post them. But I know I can’t rely on the Orlando Sentinel for them! They’d say about three people showed up.

Salt Lake City Utah - t.v. news reported “100’s & 100’s.” Hopefully someone who was able to attend will report here. Apparently there is another Tea party in the Salt Lake area @ 5 p.m.

P.S. Afterward, while leaving, I approached a small group of law enforcement at the scene to thank them for what they do, for what they do everyday for us.
The officer closest to me kept a poker face while slowly turning out the inside flap of his jacket where he’d safety-pined.........a TEA BAG! He and the other officers laughed and said they were with us all the way.

Hi Kristinn,
Just returned from rally in Carson City, Nevada...radio station reports 2,000. Fun and it kind of turned into a “DUMP REID” rally...lots of chants.
