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.

Just got back. What an incredible experience, wow! This day will stay with me for a long time.

[Sequoyah101]

Yes Sir, that is correct.

[bcsco]

Sarah never said she was coming, she has other things to do and she is correct in staying away.

I agree. She and media types like Limbaugh are smart to stay away. Let this be the "People's" show. Let the Democrats and the MSM see what real America is and wants. This has to have them scared to their socks. They have to know that regardless of their manipulation of news and events, these people are Americans who can be counted on to vote.

I love Sarah, and am staunchly behind her efforts. But this is our day.

Yes, I’m sure Kenyans everywhere will tune in. “CLICK!”

Look! Bambi has his sleeves pushed up! He is a reg’lar guy!

Now the jackass is talking Minnesota football.

How pandering

[La Enchiladita]

Good on you. I can only imagine how you feel.

[NordP]

I know what you're saying, but I'm gonna have to give it up to positivity right now.

This was a beautiful sight to see. PEOPLE THAT CARE.

For too long, I've been surround by, preached to by, employed by, talked down to by, and told by too many--that it didn't matter that I cared so much, because I couldn't do anything about it anyway...and I should "lower my standards."

Today began a different day. Today EVERYONE CARED as much as I do. God Bless America

[Cloverfarm]

Well, now I know where all my restaurant customers were this morning ;-) Couldn’t figure out why the place was so empty!

[Allegra]

...but this is just #1. Wait until the next one.

I hope I can be there. Watching it was something warm and wonderful that I will carry with me for a long time.

OH THE ARROGANCE!

That sums up this whole administration!

[ex-Texan]

These people don't look like Nazis to me. Don't appear to be racist skinheads either. They look like ordinary, everyday Americans. But they do look pissed off.

Nasty Pelosi must shaking in her boots . . .

Wow - thank you for making that effort!!!

[huldah1776]

I just checked the street cams and noticed a lack of litter. :) How did the mall fair?

[DoughtyOne]

I hope you realize that shot was taken after the crowd was breaking up. Imagine what it would have looked like at the peak.

"Apprx. 2.o million"

What's with Fox News? They are saying 10-s of thousands. They've been covering this from the start- they didn't have anyone from their station to estimate the crowd? Ughhhhhh... they've been very good up to this point. C-Span was much much better.
