Awesome production!
Still, that only looked like maybe 100 people.
I am ready for the NEXT one!!
That was great! I’m ready for another march. :) I’m still running off the energy of that one.
It is difficult to get a feeling for how large the crowd is from the ground. I thought we did well by the pool...look at it again and you will see what I mean. I tended to go to loosely “populated” places as I am a little agoraphobic. We started out at the end edge of the crowd...but was closer to the front by the time we got to the end of the march. This was due to moving forward and to there being a whole lot of people who came after we arrived. Hell, there were people still arriving when we left at about 1:30!
OUTSTANDING production! Thanks. What a day it was!
THANK YOU!!!
Fantastic! That’s a keeper!
The dummicrats and the drive-by media both downplay the number of folks at the 9/12 Tea Party. But they, perhaps more than anyone else, know better what the true numbers were.
AND, it scares the hell out of them!
This was great! I wish it showed “George and Martha Washington” The couple from Ohio.
I need freepers to contact me off of the public forum, we have a rally planned that must remain secret, but we need numbers.
Still, that only looked like maybe 100 people.

You got that right!
From Heritage Foundation-How many people were in Washington march?:
“1.5 million are reported to have passed something called the people meter [just] on Pennsylvania Avenue [alone]”

Quick and dirty estimate: PA avenue was covered from Freedom Plaza to the Capital; that is about 1 mile (WH to Capitol 1.2 miles) of people on a street 6 lanes wide or 80 ft from Google data. A mile is 5280 ft x 80 ft at 2.5 sq feet per person (Obamas inauguration number for the mall) gives us over 168,960 people just there at any one time. This human traffic lasted for 3 hours from the media. With the average human walking speed of 3 miles per hour, that is 168,960 people passing a point every 33 minutes or over 3 hours being 9 x 168,960 = 1,520,640. Although, like me not all people started at Freedom Plaza. Many went directly to the Capitol for good seats and not all came down PA Ave. The police also asked the protesters to leave the plaza two hours early. Nor does it count the time after 12:30 when people were still arriving or the people on the sidewalks along PA Ave. So the number of 1.5 million may be low. - Al Reasin September 13th, 2009 at 9:27 pm

Real nice. I’ve bookmarked it for future use and viewing.
912 is the turning point where conservatives realized that they need to do something. The old saying that we’re too busy working and raising a family to protest do longer holds water. We need to take back our Country so that we can continue to work and raise a family.
Thanks for posting.

You are exactly right! I don’t think it was convenient for most to go march in Washington, I know it was not for me, but I had to go...and I will keep going as needed!
Hope to see you at a future freep.....I'm devastated I couldn't make his one because of surgery. But we know one thing....with Obamunism trying to get this country in its evil grip, there WILL be more freeps....and more, and more....
