Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.

Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.

Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.

My husband had pancreatic cancer a few years ago and he’s alive today because of the choices we have in health care. His surgeon was awesome, but his first oncologist nearly killed him. Because we live in this great country, we were able to change doctors within weeks and he is almost to the 5 year mark. USA!!!

2. I haven’t seen any. You know, I really don’t like to stereotype but - those I’ve seen are white and don’t look like they have much money or smarts.

The white Hippie may be the dumbest creature to walk the Earth. I don't think there are many at this rally.

I guess they’re all blind and missed all the speakers of “color”(their term, not mine).

That’s what scares me so much. It’s like a modern day Salem Witch Trials.

At least a little clarity here. This one should be scared. We're COMING to take control.....

Ok, good. But, Fox needs to get their act together on the number of people in attendance. They're way off.

Those smiling and laughing when the cameras pan by them or when interviewed are doing no one a favor.P>

Would you prefer an angry looking mob?

Whaddya think this is, a happy pro-government rally filled with cheerful, joyful American tax payers?

You are an idiot.

Show um ya mean business Krodg!

That’s unfair to Freepers who have lost jobs and to those who are truly struggling.

Thank you for saying that, DJ. Some of are battling our own personal economic depressions at this time.

I'd give anything to be in DC today. I'm thankful for the many other patriotic Americans who are there representing those of us who can't be.

just watched the rally on CSPAN, some observations:

1) the complete absence of trash and litter

2) the near complete absence of uniformed police

3) the average age was 50+ years old

4) most of the organizers seemed to be women

5) CSPAN couldn't of shown better coverage if we paid them

6) i had a lump in my throat more than once

7) for once in my life, i feel like i truly missed out on being part of history in the making...

**We are the Revolutionary Army of the 2000s protesting the corrupt Establishment using cyber-printing presses. The Left considers themselves anti-establishment since they always were fighting against evil capitalists. **

Right on!

**Pray for the Tea Party Express**

Amen to that!
