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.

As incredible as this turnout was today, can you imagine the effect that even just 5% of us could create? It truly boggles the mind.

Oh I think it is coming faster than anyone imagined, as long as the child in the WH keeps up these jam downs and restructuring America without Americasn giving him permission. NO THE TIME FOR BICKERING IS NOT OVER.

"I'm in!"

Ping! Andrew Breitbart, Tea Partier (#3120)-

(FR ladies need to start a new rule. Anytime someone posts a picture of Al Franken, THIS pic automatically goes on the thread to counterbalance.;))

He does have a super handsome George Washington countenance doesn't he? We need to be encouraging the 'Good guys'.

I haven’t heard much yet... I’m dying. :-) I know this was taken from her Blackberry at 10am this morning. She called me yelling to hurry up and log into her facebook. She was freaked out by the crowds. She said it was the highest spot near the capital. I’ve been at my son’s football game today in Raleigh.

I think you meant to reply to Melchior. In my post, I was replying to his/her comments. And yes, Glenn Beck is doing just fine. :)

“BTW, your image is actually from the ‘Stand in the Gap’ gathering.”

Yes, I know. I searched for it. I posted it for comparison with the 9-12 crowds. I know “SITG” was about a million.

I have had a my.yahoo page for ten or so years...I am INCENSED that they have COMPLETELY IGNORED one million people demonstrating on the streets of Washington. Not ONE mention...

Some hours earlier in the day when I checked my yahoo email, I noticed that they didn't have anything in their headline section about the DC march, but that changed sometime later.

There's an article posted there now.

The following is a statement from Obama today. He said it to the dreg crowd he assembled for his counterdemonstration speech today.

“Blah, blah blah...health care”, (O.K. so I'm paraphrasing), but here is an actual part. He said (referring to the Tea Partiers) and I quote, “I have got to believe that THIS crowd is more “fun”. ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wake me when it's over.

Not on my my.yahoo. There’s been no mention in the “Top Stories from Reuters” of the march. You evidently have a category that i lack.

Your mind is racing ahead to the next phase, just as mine is.

I do know one thing, and that is, events are transpiring much too fast for us to plan another major march of this kind for six months down the road. The next major protest will have to happen a lot sooner than that, if we’re to stop the commies in congress and in the White House.
