I don't believe that this was a big issue with those of us at the Rally. I came home after the Rally to read dio's comments and a few others who seemed to have an issue with numbers. DC Chapter members (from the old Clinton days, and Condit, and China embassy, etc.) are used to working in smaller numbers than union/Democrat bus-in type events; it makes us work that much harder and put that much more heart into our work when we are outnumbered. While we may have been outnumbered in the physical sense, we were definitely in the majority if you count functioning brain cells of the opposing groups' attendees.
What were the measureable goals for this event as decided by the organizers prior to deciding to proceed and were they achieved?
To show support for our troops and for America. Yes.
BTW - Criticizing others for not being there will not help attendance at your next event.
I was quoting MrConfettiMan (remember him?) from his post titled "I was there, where were you?" that inspired the creation of the DC Chapter. The rest, as they say, is history.
