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
This is a “wish I were there” btt! I am so proud of my fellow Americans. We surround them, indeed!
God Bless all these men, women, and even children who are not afraid to stand up for our rights and freedoms. This Bill is not just about the deficit but our FREEDOMS as AMERICANS..
I wish I could be there and in Northern Nevada there is not ONE event!!
Go America GO!
I just got a call from my Dad and he is there with his wife. The crowd was so loud it was hard to hear him. He is very excited and they are all estimating the crowd at 1.5 million and still growing.
” TWITTER CRASHED!!!! “
DOS???
Are we next???
Think I’ll cue up the Yahoo Alternate (freerepublic2) just in case.....
bttt
4 more minutes and the taped Business Block will be over then they will be live.
Proud to comply.
Is that the new double size T.P.?
I can never keep these new marketing scams straight.

Who cares about golf!?
(Yeah,I know...Tiger Woods. He is a great player.)
Thanks. Its all drivel on the regular programming
Best sign of the day!
LMAO!
Present in Spirit of 1776.
Whoa- I just an email stating the same- I thought it was disinformation or hoax..email also said ACORN has a PERMIT for the mall today and that the tea party people do not.
If the left wants an OPEN CIVIL WAR, today would probably be a bad choice of days to start it.
How many in that crowd are exercising their constitutional rights?
It will not matter at this point. There are over 1.5 million patriots there. ACORN would not dare show up..especially after this week.
Twitter works fine for me. Just checked. People posting so fast that I couldn’t find my posts among them!
Look at what they’re sying over at democraticunderground.com:

So, when is there going to be a massive PRO-healthcare-reform rally?
We’ve got to counteract this racist nonsense from today. Tomorrow sounds like it won’t be much more than a contained rally. WE NEED OUR OWN RALLY TO SHOW there are people passionate about healthcare reform (on the “pro” side).
As Bill Maher said last night ... the teabaggers get out to townhall meetings and yell ... the rest of us are just yelling at the television.
Apparently, the “pro” march scheduled in DC for tomorrow (Sunday Sept. 13) has been changed to a smaller rally.
Sounds like the Americans United for Healthcare reform is saying Chaka Fattah pulled his support for Sept. 13 being the march day ... and then they had march permit problems? So it’s just going to be a rally in Upper Senate Park instead of a march to the capitol.
“The location has changed from a march from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol to a rally at the Upper Senate Park”
