I heard an estimate much higher than that, between 3,000 and 5,000, actually.
I, personally, tried to count the people lined up on the street, and then multiply by the number of “layers” and I was WELL over 1000, before I even got close to the podium.
And, there were people BEHIND the podium as well, and people arriving and leaving all the time!
We were OUTSIDE and it looked very crowded to me.
To make it look like a big crowd, in an OPEN FIELD is difficult to do.
Anyway, I am pretty sure the 3,000 to 5,000 is a very conservative estimate, from someone who had been on the stage and looked over the crowd. (The PUMA lady, sorry I forget her name).
Susan Estes, the AFP organizer, wanted to be safe, and said “at least 1,000” into the microphone when I asked her.

By the way, I tried to take pictures of State Rep. Jason Watkins but they did not turn out.

Also, Vickie Tiahrt was scheduled to speak but I had to leave before Vickie could even find a parking spot anywhere near the podium.

Senator Sam Brownback also spoke.

It is nice to be in Kansas, where at least a few of our elected officials oppose this crazy tax and spend government!

Hi again,

I heard the lady dressed up like Paul Revere speak. She did a good job (even without a teleprompter) but she got her math a little mixed up (e.g. a billion is a million millions). We all knew where she was coming from, though.

Then the PUMA talked. She also spoke at the Tea Party in February. Gotta say I liked today’s weather much better. I heard Brownback and Susan Wagle also. I would really like to see Wagle go for higher office someday.

We had a great crowd today in Wichita and around the nation. We must keep the pressure on!

Small socialist democrat crowds always seem to be reported as hundreds of thousands or millions. Yet these protests are reported at a few hundred.

With the conservatives quiet nature I will suggest when you get even a real number of a hundred they represent MILLIONS of pissed off Americans that had to work versus getting to go to a Tea Party !

I personally am very grateful for all good Americans that protested today . Protested this criminal administration. Took time , lost a day of work and were able......

Thank you one and all ......
