Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.
Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.
Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.
Free Republic 9/11 Candlelight Vigil from Washington DC
Rep. Pence speaking now on FOX!!
All over the place, apparently. I'd like to see a wide-view overhead shot.
Jim DeMint was beaming and looking very handsome today!
Just saw that on tv! Bump. :)
~A very exciting day!!!!!~
Keep your eyes peeled for Mark Levin! (usually wears his Clinton Happens hat)
Hopefully waiting for a count so he run the siren. Wishful thinking?
from twitter:
local DC channel 7 reporting 2 million. Cnn guess u were wrong again & please lv our Coast Guard alone
We should verify but earlier reports said 1.5 million.
It might just be overwhelmed, which is good!
Where’s the source online?
BTTT
http://interactive.foxnews.com/livestream/live.html?chanId=3
Has audio and crowd pictures
http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream2
has video and audio of speakers
Might be the only way to get a good crowd estimate. We had people on this thread saying 1.5 mil...and Fox saying tens of k’s, Pence saying several hundred.
No matter the size, how much effect do you think this may have?
“They ignore the Right to Life March every year”
That’s correct.
They refuse to show shots of the size of the pro-life crowd and then they always managed to interview the brave choicers who only want to support “women’s rights”!
This is one time that giving CNN the hits is a good thing. They’re the only ones streaming it, and they deserve to be acknowledged for it. Let them see through the traffic on their site that the crush of people at the Capitol represents 10’s of millions more across the nation.
I guess only tens of thousands will be the labeled number for the Tea Party...sigh..Pence just said it. The mediaPUKES will pick that up and run with it!
Mike Pence — “unexpected crowd”
(Meanwhile, Brian Williams has gone from ‘tens of thosands’ to ‘thousands’... Go figure...)
Pence: “Hundreds of thousands here.”
I was wondering where Drudge is too.... calculating when to put it on!!!!!
Did Santelli show up, or will he be there?
Does this look like 30 thousand people to you all????
Liberals, astroturf THIS. http://twitpic.com/hg91k #912DC
