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.

I hope and pray your friend is OK. Balad (Anaconda Base) is the biggest and most sophisticated hospital here.

Thats funny no matter who you are . Well maybe not funny if you work for acorn like the 13 people.

[FlashBack]

I agree, be respectful and I’m sure she’s getting the message that the folks want/need her voice to be a loud one!!

[malia]

Great pictures, thank you! thank you!

[sissyjane]

Having a thunder storm. Better not lose electricy.

I was watching and enjoying this until I realized these folks aren’t reading what they are saying, not pausing constantly to let the teleprompter reposition, not constantly looking 25 degrees off center either to the left or the other left.

What kind of credibility can these folks claim? Heh heh heh...

[STARWISE]

Hey! Great to see you here ... God bless!

[XenaLee]

That’s because our nation’s real enemies are his good buds.

Remember Hugo recently saying how Obama needs their help? He’s gonna need it more than ever now.

Bring it on, commies! Try taking on an ARMED citizenry (for a change).

[McLynnan]

The troops at Balad are the greatest. My brother deployed there twice. They bring new meaning to “saving lives”

[swheats]

Ditto bump I was thinking that too. This is about the people.

Hello all. ATrueLady has been ill for some time and cannot be in D.C. However, I am watching it all from home. Don't worry about me...I will be much better soon and look forward to possibly another rally like this...around election day next year to vote out the Dem majority. I will plan to be there. I am with all of you in spirit and I was crying not only wishing I could be there but to see patriotism in its true form. It is the most beautiful thing to watch. This is what America is all about. I am sick of Obama, Pelosi and the whole bunch. Just today Obama is making another speech about healthcare. Acutally, he is just repeating what he said on TV earlier this week. Pretty sad that he hasn't an original thought or original rebuttal. He is still ignoring the people like the rest of them. What does anyone expect? When he was elected, my blood ran cold. However, we have the chance to change the direction of all this is 2010. This is why he is trying like hell to pass his social programs as soon as possible. He knows...THEY ALL KNOW the dem control is out in 2010. Acorn is finally disassociated from the Census and now the czars are hopefully in line to be investigated. Keep your faith and make the government work for you. Obama and his minions from hell have forgotten that they work for us. The difference is that this time, they are arrogant enough to say “who cares, we have a plan to destroy this country and we are going to do it no matter what”. I reckon they won't get far...there is a lot of pissed-off people out there and I am one of them. God Bless all. Free Republic is awesome!

Joe I know how you feel but she may be right in not being there. This is about everyday people rallying and making their voices heard. The libs and press would make it all about Sarah.

"Anyone know if anyone from FR will be speaking?"

I just called Kristinn and he said nobody from Free Republic will be speaking. FR will be acknowledged later in the program. He didn't want to get into that subject.

[csmusaret]

I heard Beck say it a couple of times so my post was directed to him, but I don’t know his screen name.

[DoughtyOne]

LMAO, if that isn’t the truth!!!!!

[LakeLady]

You know what, Kenny, I never thought of that. You’re probably correct. Well, at least my message to her was polite, so I don’t have to spank myself. Thank you for pointing this out to all of us.

[dancusa]

I would like to see an aerial photo of the mass of humanity gathered today. FAA probably has DC as a no fly zone today to prevent this from happening..

[Allegra]

We’re SO onto these cretins!

I honestly think they "misunderestimated" us.

And I think they're a tad nervous upon that realization.

Is anyone aware of a repeat schedule on c-Span? I got to it late there but want to DVR the entire event. Thanks for any help.
