9/12/09 Is it going to blow out?
9/10/09 | conservativesister

Posted on 09/10/2009 9:35:19 AM PDT by conservativesister

I just checked the '9/12/09 March on Washington' website and counted the bus list. THERE ARE 187 locations sending buses from across the country to DC on Saturday.

My local location: Hagerstown Tea Party is sending either 5 or 6 buses.

You do the multiplication..............

This is certainly going to make history for the average American I hope many join us in DC.

I really do hope it breaks the uncounted record of over 1 million set by Stand In The Gap!

Don’t forget planes, trains and automobiles.

On a thread a few days ago someone noticed that Amtrak had peak demand pricing for this weekend (though I don’t know how it compared to other weekends for few day in advance purchases).

regretful I’ll not be in DC this weekend:(

I can’t go but I did put 10 of my last 11 dollars in the tank to go to the local tea party. I then put my last dollar in the pot for the tea party express.

BTW another FReeper read my earlier comment about using my last money to go to a tea party and wrote to ask if I needed help. I didn’t but I think we should all know what great people FReepers are.

I was thinking that Obama would give some incredible speech, unify the reform effort, and be hailed a hero after this much awaited speech. then no one would show up.
Since he blew it big time, I think there will be 100’s of thousands. I can’t wait to see what happens next. The powers that be are going to be very surprised. I wonder how the MSM is going to avoid reporting this.

My son and I want to go, but have very limited time.

We are considering driving to DC Friday night, joining the parade, then returning home to upstate SC.

Could anyone tell me the best way to get to the parade starting point? Would there be sufficient parking close or is there parking at a point outside the city that would allow us to ride public transportation in?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Yes, those of us too far flung to get to D.C. this Saturday, September 12, have other opportunities to protest and participate!

In CA, check the website: www.912west.org

There are multiple sites holding events.

A big one is in Los Angeles at the Federal Building in Westwood. It’s off the 405 freeway at:

11000 Wilshire Blvd. (Parking on site and surrounding streets...)

Timeframe is 3 - 5 p.m. (main events at 3) but arrive much earlier if you wish to arrange to speak. There will be some govt. officials and other speakers and entertainers. Bring signs and flags et al. Look at the website. Let’s make this HUGE!

I hope someone is lined up to do some aerial photography so we can accurately estimate crowd size.

I wonder if the State Run Media will cover it?
