Also, I wonder how accurate our Albuquerque number is. Pajamas Media has it at 7,000. Per this news report, KRQE.com had to go back and adjust it’s report to “thousands” because people were calling in ticked off because they had lied in original estimates when they put it at only “hundreds.”
“The Albuquerque Police Department has declined to provide numbers. An APD spokesman referred us to the U.S. Marshal Service for a precise figure.” (which apparently they haven’t bothered to get).
Anyway, maybe 3000 is a safe number. It is obvious that their local media tried to lie about the numbers but were forced into retracting by outraged viewers.
Moriarty, NM — 50 to 100

This very astute, investigative reporter says “a number of people” (so I took a guess)
#404
I put a date after those that weren’t on 4/15.
Where is your list posted? FReepers could save a lot of time if we could cross ref yours.
July the 4th comes to mind.
We should probably have it on October 25, but July 4 is probably more symbolic to the majority of FReepers.
Personally, July 4 makes me nervous. A lot of folks go to the lake or have family barbecues and such that day. Maybe if they were afternoon not evening events. I wouldn’t be able to make a July 4 event unless our family babecue at the lake qualifies. I’ll bring the signs! ;-) We are a very conservative group! Not a liberal in my immediate family.
Simpsonville, SC — 150 people

Maybe we should report Spokane at 3,000 low and 5,000 high. Freeper Bulldog108 was there and said he estimated 3000.
Stanton, NE — 204

In reference to last post

One-in-four adults (25%) say they personally know someone who attended a tea party protest. That figure includes just one percent (1%) of those in the Political Class.

They are scared. No doubt about it. These Tea Parties are AWESOME because they go around the MSM media and especially around the nat'l MSM! Most read about their local Tea Party in their local paper which directly quoted participants and showed pictures. Many people drove by and saw the protesters. This is a good thing!
Rasmussen has Obambi at +3 today - 33% strongly approve, 30% strongly disapprove. If Bush had those numbers in less than 100 days, and had 1 million people protest in every state, the media would be screaming for him to resign.
Instead, they fawn all over Obambi him while he makes a bumbling fool of himself, and the country.
The 33% who stongly approve must be the same folks who disapproved of the Tea Parties!
Obama is a disgrace. Bowing to the Saudi King and now yucking it up with Chavez. Geesh!
You are exacly right about the stupid media. They are a disgrace as well.
