Tea Party Total Head Count Thread (Post Your Attendance Numbers Here)
Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 04/15/2009 3:08:47 PM PDT by kristinn

I'm hoping to be able to ascertain an overall national figure of attendance at the tea parties today by asking Freepers to post their crowd estimates on this thread.

I'm also asking that the thread be kept to just the numbers, no photos, etc., but if you want to link back to photos in your crowd estimate that's fine.

Please give the location and number of participants.

I'll go first:

Melbourne, FL - 1000.

I lived in Kansas while AF. You have farmers that grow big corn there which are meant for livestock. Grab a big ear of corn from a farm there and bite into it. It's sweet and just big right off the stalk.

We should be eating those first. Not making corn booze. The animals can eat the small ones we don't eat.

BUMP

The total headcount needs to be distributed widely and repeated as often as possible.

You can check to see if your tea party is listed HERE if not, post a comment on this thread citing the city, state and headcount.

The Carson City NV newspaper called it both “thousands” and “an estimated 1500”.

I’d have put it at 2-4000 over the day, more if you count 2-1/2 hours of supportive honking and waving drive-thru “participants.”

Well, don't you think we should we should be eating the biggest ears of corn possible first? It's a fruit. The scrawny ones sold in CA supermarkets are what livestock should eat.

I went to a coastal farm in Ventura and gave the farm manager $10 for a cardboard box. I filled it with the tallest asparagus I can pick. The tallest was 2 feet. Mmm. Those farms are measured in sq miles.

I was at the Frederick rally. It looked like there were several hundred people, but it could have gone as high as a thousand. We had a lot of people, in spite of the heavy rain.
