I had a great time... it was an outstanding lineup and an excellent venue. I noted that there were a number of people up at the monument who had stopped to listen to the messages from the stage. I guess my count (probably low) at the peak was about 120-150. So for the press that is 200.

Thanks to the organizers of this event who took the time and the expense to make a good thing happen.

I counted 200 in the crowd at one point with more people walking toward the rally. The people were coming and going throughout because it got cold standing on 6 inches of snow for hours. Some people stayed for the whole rally -- hardy folks -- and there were some who had been walking their dogs who stopped to join the rally. We ran out of small flags to hand out and we had approximately 150; they were all gone halfway through the 3 hour program.

The visitors to the Washington Monument would turn toward the stage and listen to our speakers as they were waiting in line and some stayed for long periods of time to listen.

Sadly, a brief mention on FoxNews tonight said that there were competing rallies in DC today and ours had about 50 people!!!
