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.

Freepers are too much. I'm laughing I'm crying today...such emotions coming on the heels of 9-11 8th anniv.

“Let’s try looking at traffic cams here and grabbing screen shots”

I’ve checked that on and off all day. The place looks vacant. What gives?

[squarebarb]

So am I and I am not even there!

[Allegra]

Somehow I don’t believe that..reason, IF I traveled hundreds of miles to be there AIN’T NO ONE IS GOING TO TURN ME BACK FROM attending...I would unload from the bus and hike it to the mall...SO HELP ME GOD!!!

That's what I was thinking. I'd get across that bridge and get to that rally, no matter what.

Heaven help the creep who tries to keep me out of my nation's capital.

The weather today has been a miracle in itself. No rain.:)

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Julian Kulski - from Poland - now speaking - said it was the greatest day of his life! Speaking about opposing tyranny!

The people of Eastern Europe KNOW, UNDERSTAND what is at stake - they lived through Nazi’ism and Communism ....and those who live here KNOW what has been happening here is taking us down the road to dictatorship!

God bless you, Mr. Kulski for being there!

[filbert]

Motto for the day should be, “It’s the Constitution, Stupid!” — lol

I ALMOST made that my sign in the march, actually . . .

This Polish man is speaking the same way that the people in my Slovak parish speak.

We Americans have it so good. We need to fight to keep it.

Julian Kulski: “Freedom Is Independence”

Doc Watson summed it up: “I would sleep in the woods, In a hollow log, before I’d stay with you, and let you treat me like a dog”

[TADSLOS]

“The Constitution; the OTHER document they never read”...

Yeah, if they had read, understood and complied with it first, then they wouldn't have bothered writing the Obamacare bill.

Extremely busy thread and lots of graphics but FR shows no signs of running slowly. Bravo to the guys behind the curtain.

Hear, hear !! Thank you!

If the traffic cams are showing everything vacant, perhaps they are streaming old videos

“And Zero is speaking to a tiny crowd in Minneapolis which CNN was showing.....”

Obama’s at a girlie coffee klatch.

They should stop and take pictures of the buses that were turned away for archival purposes!

[fatima]

That’s what was announced.Shame for the people trying to get in.

[Poser]

It was a fabulous showing. Our banquet starts at about 6PM EDT. I’ll take a nap now. I’ll have some photos and videos to link on Monday when I get home.

He was tortured at 14.

I am afraid for my children.

[La Enchiladita]

[Freedom2specul8]
