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.
Free Republic 9/11 Candlelight Vigil from Washington DC
I wish I was there.
LOL!
Today’s our wedding anniversary and I can’t tear myself away to leave the house. LOL
“Every FReeper who supports this rally in spirit (who couldn’t be there) should make ONE post to this thread, and it will be a sort of informal tally of FReepers who would have gone if they could (like me).”
I wish I could be there too! I’m thrilled with the turnout. The pictures are awesome.
This is great to see and to
think in the comming months it can only grow stronger.
How about those that couldn’t be there falling into formation in front of their state capitals and media outlets today? With a platoon stationed at the antennas used by the “main stream” media to transmit their PR.
We DO have them surrounded...
;)
If Beck has been scheduled to cover this and the official start time is still an hour away (1:00PM), they simply don’t want to take anything away from what beck may have in mind.
Just got a call from my best friend and her hub and she is thrilled to be there. She said she started crying just getting off the train. She could not believe how many people are there!
Fox News Interactive has a live stream going RIGHT NOW of all the people just streaming to the site ... there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people there! Twitter is reporting that DC Police are saying it's 1.5 MILLION people and still growing.
Most streets around the park are CLOSED for foot traffic ..
At the risk of losing my own stream, here's the Fox News Interactive Live Stream I am literally jumping out of my chair for joy at the sight of all these great Patriots in Washington DC! I so wish I could've been there, but I'm physically unable to make the trip... God Bless these great Americans!
Three thousand in a little town in NJ last night. 99 percent of these people never attending any kind of rally.
There’s a Rev. speaking now.
Yep they said tens of thousands. Banner below said “expecting 20,000 to 200,000”. Guess they don’t know what the hell to say!
Thanks:)
I see from that link that someone is saying there may be more now then there was for the Inauguration..
To them God has chosen to make known amonng the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the HOPE of glory.
The biggest story in the last 20 yrs is the Tea Party Revolution. We’re witnessing the largest crowds protesting the gummit we have seen since Vietnam. The difference w/these protests is they are not organized and financed by the communist Party and these are people that work and pay the taxes. This was started by a reporter in Chicago just mentioning the Boston Tea Parties and the movement was begun. This movement has stirred the hearts and minds of America and is being witnessed around the World as they silently cheer the courage and passion of true patriots. This is the biggest story in the last 40 yrs.
When President George W Bush was President if a half dozen deadbeats showed up for a protest there would instantly be over 100 protesters. Never mind that 90 of them were like minded reporters and cameramen, the numbers of the protesters were always inflated in their size. The reporters would breathlessly report as they used the protesters as props for their already written story. Now to underline their corruption they completely ignore the biggest story of this century due to the politics of a Country in revolt from its citizens. The last thing that the Establishmedia can comprehend is that real people would take to the streets protesting their world view.
Not only are they a disgrace to journalists throughout histoir like Ben Franklin, they are a disgrace to the human race. How does anybody who draws a paycheck to record history dare to ignore the biggest revolution in the last 60 yrs? The reason they are a disgrace is that this is Freedom Loving Americans fighting against the tyranny their corrupt Establishment is trying to enslave us with. Every member of PravdABDNC should look in the mirror and ask themselves if this is what they worked their entire careers to do? Do they continue to allow FOX to record history and do they continue to be the Bernie Madoffs’ of journalism. Or do they do they do their jobs and become curious about the corruption that surrounds them? Either way, the anti-establishmedia is exposing it.
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. They have been doing it so long and have become ingrained in so many areas of society that they are now what they have fought against. So much so that they have corrupted themselves to hide the very fact that is who they are. They control the schools, gummit, administration, bureaucracy, media and news outlets. We are the outsiders who simply work and pay taxes and who are pointing out their corruption and incompetence in our barely organized yet passionately attended Tea Parties. We are the Minutemen of Truth and Freedom.
Not only has the Rallies and especially the Tea Party Express, exposed the absolute corruption of the news industry it shows the crassness of the Stalinist left. Reporters who are supposed to document histoir are attempting to unwrite the most amazing spontaneous combustion they have witnessed, perhaps ever. The same people who were using our brave soldiers coffins as Soap Boxes and Stage Props while bringing every plastic Starlet from SoddomWood extolling their pacifity, now protests are unseemly, and verboten. Really, how hard is it to be a pacifist? Oh gee, you don’t like war, how heroic! Well get used to Conservative Activism cause this is 1776 and there is a wildfire burning across America bringing Freedom.
The TP Express has 2 busses hop scotching America, driving patriots into the streets for peaceful demonstrations. How simple a protest could you ever imagine and the people are reacting. Not the Jesse Jackmail rent-a-mobs but real rebellion. It is growing as it gets closer to the East Coast while the passion of true Americans are touched. These are not masked street people but people who never protested in their lives willing to keep their Freedom over a lifetime of indentured slavery. These people represent millions of silent Americans who don’t take that stand but are willing to support them w/their votes. This is something that the Stalinists in the DNC and WH were not expecting and have no method of stopping. America isn’t Kent State yet so their army of Thugs at Acorn are not sure they want to enter this fray.
The Tea Parties has wakened much of America. While walking in our parade on July 4th you noticed that the people would look at us and our signs dumbfounded. Then as they read them about, out of control spending, they would smile and then applaud. It takes a minute for those of us in the Silent Majority to understand that it is ok to protest the gummit. We are not the type to protest it until we see something that is so outrageous that we will then change our minds to realize that it is ok to protest. That is where America is right now as the people are beginning to take a stand against an out of control congress and President.
This movement is beginning to sweep across this land like those Wildfires in the LA hills. This fire is burning bright as it destroys the lies of liberalism. As this fire grows, it won’t matter how many tankers of ACORN retard-ents, the fire will grow and burn brighter til the rocks melt into molten Bronze that form into Lady Liberty w/her Torch raising high, clutching her Bible above this scorching inferno.
Pray for the Tea Party Express
Estimated over 1.5 MILLION and growing according to the DC police .. tens of THOUSANDS of people are still streaming to the site... See video link above.
Wonder what the Obama thugs are going to do to get people to Obama’s rally.
Steven Balwin up now.
Fox Banner is now reporting “thousands” Grrrrr!
