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
WHERE ARE you guys seeing this? At Live stream I’m looking at only has the crowd marching that it.
This is just killing me — sitting here. But I’m kept busy reading the posts, and clicking all the channels to see coverage. The live pictures are exciting! Haven’t seen any mass produced signs yet! I pray there is no infiltration from troublemakers. The DC police won’t have problems with the Tea Party crowds, but I hope they can spot the infiltrators.
Hopefully heel-kicking in the near future!! LOL!
Have they blocked off a side of the street there to make it look smaller than it is?
They are moving away from camera.
Take it elsewhere. This thread is about the Tea Party March.
Perhaps John Galt has arrived in D.C. We can only dream...
There are hundreds of thousands of people in attendance. Pennsylvania Ave is packed from the Capitol to freedom plaza. The Metro is packed like the 4th of July. Unlike the commie gatherings the there is no sounds of drums or the smell of patchouli.
The Crowd is great, 99% of the signs they are carrying are homemade. There are a lot of Gadsden flags and a lot of U.S. flags. The people are in very high spirits with their spirits being buoyed by seeing so many fellow Americans stand up.
An AP photographer was spotted and you can see a lot of MSM trucks setting up for live feeds.
Crowds are filling the Mall from the w front of the Capitol past 3rd street and people are still pouring in.
The best spotted sign:
Bill Green, recycled Reds in Congress
Best scene:
The crowd was passing in front of the museum. The 1st Amendment is engraved on the building which was a magnificent background for throngs of people taking to the street to petition Congress with their voice.
fox news live is playing a song from elton john..
Proud of all the PATRIOTS!!!!
Agree. Plus, Fox's cameras are nowhere near the Capitol.
I won’t watch that POS ever
BTW how much does it frost CNN to have to cover a Fox guy?
He is terrific
Great reporting Sayeed! We couldn't figure out that it was Nancy Pelosi without your stunning journalistic prowess!
Where are you getting the live events, preacher speaking, etc.?
CNN.com live feed
chanting “tell the truth’ behind reporter on CNN
Count me in. Unable to go, but would have loved to have been part of this day in history. Our prayers to those who are there. Your voice is our voice.
Glen Beck is supposed to reveal something BIG that he was hinting all week, we hope it’s good for our side and damming for Obama , the MSM , Pelosi and the Dems.
It is almost 11 am Saturday 9-12-09. I have been comparing coverage of the MASSIVE Tea Party march and protest in D.C.
So far, Obama's propaganda organ, MSNBC (TOTALLY in the tank for Obama, and arguably, his "Pravda") is doing a BETTER job of showing the magnitude of the protest than FOX News!!!!!!
How can that be??????
THEY are showing a view from on high which shows the GREAT NUMBERS of protesters, while YOU are only showing tighter, on the ground shots of small groups of protesters and their signs.
PLEASE... GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fox has really dropped the ball. I can’t believe I have to watch this on a CNN live feed.
