I went near the end. Dunno how many people where there at the peak time. Let me ping CounterCounterCulture

[diotima]

OK, its hard to figure out. Since we are reporting to our co-sponsors, we are trying to source the counts with media reports. Some media reports don't list a number so we ask the people involved.

[diotima]

Can you post a media link...it would make someones job much easier. ;^)

[Sabertooth]

OK, I did it on purpose to lure you here...keeper of the breaking news side bar ;^)

Jeepers, usually a ping will do.

[Teetop]

Congratulations! I wish there was a rally near me, but I live in no man's land.
I find it ironic how the "peace" protests are getting smaller & smaller the more people find out that the world workers party is behind them also.

[Steve Van Doorn]

that is a good pic

On Sunday the 23rd, in Cranberry Township, PA (north of Pittsburgh) 60 people showed up for a rally a week early due to an error in a news story. 3 TV crews showed up too and filed great reports on the evening news. Next Sunday, I'm expecting as many as 500 to a 1000. I'll post detailed info in a separate thread.

[Interesting Times]

Near 200 at Cedar Rapids.

We'll need to ask him for a media count to nail it down...

[diotima]

Thanks Ray!

[diotima]

Ok, I'll pass that on to one of the FRN secretaries to make note.

*snort*

[diotima]

Thank you! We managed to get many media stories about the events (although we missed some) but we haven't gotten to the AAR's yet.

"Clarksdale, TN" should read "Clarksville, TN". Just wanted to correct this.

[CounterCounterCulture]

When did you show up, Cool Guy? :-)

The rally was sceduled to 2pm, most of us stayed past 3pm and when I say the 6pm newscast, there were still people out there!

I would have estimated 400 at the peak for the rally, possibly 600 with people coming and going througout the rally.

[Cool Guy]

I showed up around 6.

[RandallFlagg]

Local news in Denver had the numbers of the rally at around 3,000

[FreeTheHostages]

NYC had a great rally and got a lot of great press!! The leftists were out en masse and even the press seemed to understand that would limit the counter-response.

Actually, NYC went quite well. Heard a lot of postiive national press even hear in DC. And that same cable news is what gets back to the troops.

Can you find some photos to post or send to rhunter@vets4constrestore.org
