FrogDad and I have been in DC since Monday. We've been to The Mall twice,so far. The set is being built, including two large arches with "Restoring Honor" over them.

They were putting up scaffolding down the Mall and hanging big speakers and spots for Jumbotrons.

We took a Moonlight bus tour last night, almost everyone we spoke to was in town for the Rally. One couple, from Texas, said that almost their whole plane was bound for the rally!

Our tour guide was conservative (surprise!) and got cheers and applause for his comments.

A guard at the rally site (last night) said that if you want to be down front, you should probably plan to be there around 5 AM. We don't intend to be there that early, our transpportation (the Metro), doesn't start running until 7 on Saturdays.

Will post some pictures tonight, headed to Mount Vernon this AM and the National Archives after.

This will be a fun thread to check in on today through tomorrow (Saturday). It looks like we’ll have lots of pictures, on-the-scene reporting, etc. C-Span will be doing live coverage tomorrow from start to finish, though there appears to be some confusion about what time that’s starting. I’ve read both 7AM EST and 10AM EST. From current reports, it looks like somewhere around a million participants, give or take a few hundred thousand :-)

Rush is not at the EIB mic. Is he going to be at D.C. tomorrow?

[Hoodlum91]

Going to walk down there now to check everything out.

Listening to Glenn Beck’s radio show this morning he said the park people are expecting around 500,000 people based on certain criteria.

Godspeed to you and all FReepers providing updates for what I hope and pray will be a truly historic event.

[STARWISE]

Great ! Thanks for being there, and for
all the coming reports for those who can’t.

Can’t wait to watch it all unfold thru your
eyes.

God bless and protect Glenn Beck and company/
families, you, and all those attending.

May this memorable event ignite a giant spark
that fuels a great awakening, spreading
throughout all America.

We’re taking our precious country back!

UNITED WE STAND!

I hate to be a wet blanket but just what does “The Weeper” hope to accomplish? Does he think Obama and co. are scared? They aren’t. I see this as one giant national Kum-By-Yah. I contribute to the wounded warrior fund anyway.

BE AWARE that yesterday GOOGLE Maps was giving the WRONG information on the location of the Lincoln Memorial. They were showing the FDR memorial instead. I reported it as a problem. I think Map Quest is OK.

I just read that Tony LaRussa and Albert Pujols from the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team will be there. How about that! I just gained a newfound respect for both of them.

I just came back from picking up lunch and saw two people wearing “Restoring Honor” t-shirts - I said I’d see them at the rally tomorrow! Of course I actually WON’T, there’s almost no chance of finding anyone, but, TR, we will try.

Thanks for posting. It was cool to hear Glenn say when you get to the park introduce yourself and pray with somebody.

So disappointed I missed this trip. Plz keep updating.

Thanks soooo very much for this. I have been ill and asleep, but feel so much better now that I have read this thread since waking up. God Bless Everyone of you, and keep you safe while there. He sure gave us a beautiful day for this.

I wonder if Michelle is proud of her country and the voices of so many Americans vis-a-vis this demonstration today? I sure am!
