Local ABC station just reported “as many as 75,000”. There’s easily more than that in that first picture you posted. Then they immediately reported that many health care supporters showed up for Obama’s speech like it was comparable, I found another report that only 250 supporters showed up there.

Based on my crowd-counting experience over the years when exiting the NFL’s largest stadium (93K plus), I'd say it was at least twice that crowd.

The 'battle cry' for this rally should be something like this:

"Don't make me come to Washington again, Congressperson.
Next time, I bring a half-dozen more friends."

C-Span Video Shows Enormous Crowds in DC

[nutmeg]

Has anyone found an accurate count of yesterday's highly successful Tea Party March on Washington? We were part of yesterday's March in DC and were STUNNED by the turnout - and the passion of the marchers (ObamaCare is what put most people 'over the edge'). It seemed as if there were over a million people there! However, my husband estimates somewhere around 300,000 to 500,000.

Is there a DC Park Police estimate posted yet? Would that be the most accurate count?

To FReepers in attendance yesterday (and some in Hartford): Sorry we never met up... I could barely keep track of my husband, never mind looking for anyone else. The few times I got on my cell phone, I couldn't hear the person on the other end.

Yesterday's March on Washington was simply amazing... I feel so fortunate to have been able to take part in it.

This is great! You should put it on zazzle.com and sell it. You provide the design, they provide the t-shirts, mugs, bumper stickers, etc. If it sells well (which I think it would!), you could make some dough.

Just spend it quickly before the government destroys its value!

I know this answer is probably elsewhere but I don't have time to search & don't know what words would work.

From the article:
It started encroaching on another group’s permit west of the Grant statue.

Who was the other group and why do the pictures show that most of the forbidden turf was empty and the balance covered by tents??

I wish I could have been in Washington, but I and about 10,000 other Texas patriots didn’t let a steady rain stop us from attending the Cow Town (Fort Worth) tea party featuring Judge Andrew Napolitano.

NYT reported it as “thousands”...
