Small socialist democrat crowds always seem to be reported as hundreds of thousands or millions. Yet these protests are reported at a few hundred.

With the conservatives quiet nature I will suggest when you get even a real number of a hundred they represent MILLIONS of pissed off Americans that had to work versus getting to go to a Tea Party !

I personally am very grateful for all good Americans that protested today . Protested this criminal administration. Took time , lost a day of work and were able......

Thank you one and all ......

Yes, I agree!

A mixed bunch, lots of “Fair Tax” and Libertarian types, to be sure, but that is expected.

Some will try to co opt these things for other causes. That is what “grass roots” is all about.

The most important thing was: we ALL oppose Obama and the spending of Congress!

What size do YOU think the crowd was?

"What size do YOU think the crowd was?"

I'm not good at estimating crowd sizes. About as much as I've seen at a Shocker's baseball game I guess.

I heard the number 1000 from one of the speakers.

Even the small number of teens/twenty-somethings I saw was pretty impressive though.

I am still thinking the crowd total was over 3000, but that is just a guess, based on a small count in a small area and trying to multiply.
Hard to do, with people moving, coming and going!

One thing for sure, if it was a Liberal or Democrat rally?

The media would say “almost 10,000 people -—”

Here is a link to the pics that my neighbor took. http://www.jdlackamp.us/webgallery/wtparty/index.html

I am considering writing an after action report. If I do, I will be posting it in the next day or two.

Hey, thanks, great pics, even though my brother and I are completely lost in the crowd!
We were very close to the Yellow “Don't tread on ME” flag, but can only see parts of our heads, and we are both over 6’ lol.
Again, good work, much appreciated!

I did not do the work. My neighbor did. My camera battery did not work, or I would have added more pics.
