Crowd size was in the thousands, nothing official and early media reports ranged from more than a thousand to two thousand. I've included pictures below. I report you decide...

Buses arrive

the crowd was so big and the park terrain so uneven it was difficult to get everybody in a shot

From the other side

This guy was articulate, effective and calm. As a result he won't make the cut

and the Bamster wants it that way darlin'

Maybe if Woodstock-size events start happening the press won’t be able to cover them as if they’re a couple of people with nothing to do.

Not ordered out by union bosses. Not motivated by anything other than love of country. They keep telling out that we are afraid. We are, in reallity, furious.

So in other words, what CNN would describe as “a handful of hateful angry anti-Obama protesters”....

Nice job Huskers!

A reasonably sized long stick or telescopic rod with a camera placed on the top set with a timer to snap pictures should get good shots.

Welcome aboard this was my third here in Omaha including the first in Feb of 2009. It was 14 deg with a stiff wind. There were 60 or so of us. We were cold, motivated and proud.

Keep in mind the Tea Parties are statement events. The parties give you a chance to get fired up, meet like minded patriots and motivated to do the effective heavy lifting of political action.
