The rally made the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) news last night (government-owned far left) -
gave no indication of the numbers who attended - just a shot of one grouping. (Keep the masses in
the dark like mushrooms!).
You guys - GO!!!!

National Park Service and some media reporting 1,800,000 to 2,000,000 million people participating
In Washington DC Meeting, Saturday, 9-12-09. Park Service person said it is probably the largest
rally in DC ever.
I think this gathering should be appreciated as the extremely important historical event that it
is. This is the first great conservative anti-statist manifestation in American history. The
conservative movement, which developed in the post-WWII, Cold War environment has now fully matured
into the most significant political movement of the 21st century. I believe that this day could be
referred to in the not too distant future as the day that changed America . This was the day the
great silent conservative majority finally found its voice.
Many of the attendees were quite meek and timid and were unsure of exactly what to expect, this
being the first time in their lives theyd been involved in a protest movement. Their fears
evaporated early in the day and I saw people reveling in the camaraderie , the joy and sheer
civility that was exhibited at the entire event. Chants of Freedom, freedom, freedom, No more
czars! No more czars! carried through the air without the slightest hint of rancor or incivility
which is the norm at the leftist rallies I have photographed over the years.
The two photos above show a tiny fraction of the two million ABC estimates attended. I saw signs
and heard lots of comments comparing this event to Woodstock . At the time this photo was taken,
around 1:00 p.m. , Pennsylvania Avenue was still jammed completely, and the mall was packed from
the Capitol Building past the Washington Monument . See aerial photos here.
Protesters came from every state in the union. This man came from San Antonio , TX . He said that
he was really sorry he hadnt brought his family. He stated that being a black conservative he was
afraid to expose his children to what he expected would be a lot of liberal abuse. He was thrilled
with the tenor of the event and the fact that no liberals were present to harass him. He spoke
about how incredibly intolerant the left is to black individuals who dont bow to the party line.
These Ohioans took a day off their rodeo bull riding schedule. They said theyll be back at it
tomorrow.
Mike Pence (R-Indiana) was one of the speakers who addressed the crowd: After years of fighting
runaway government on this hill, you people look like the cavalry to me..I believe we are on the
verge of a great American awakening.
San Diego radio host Mason Weaver said from the podium: I came here because I thought you might
want to hear a black man speak without a teleprompter
This government is trying to make a nation of
dependent people. Americans have always been independent people
This is not a Republican thing,
its not a Democrat thing. Its not a black thing or a white thing. Its an American thing
We the
people are telling them No more! Weve had enough!
In the very center of the photo, above the Silence is Consent Can You Hear Us Now sign, you can
see Pennsylvania Ave. , which at this time is totally blocked with protesters who cannot move
forward to the Capitol area. Sorry, full up.
There were notable differences though, in the behavior of these attendees. Although the legend of
Woodstock is that there was a friendly atmosphere of camaraderie, the truth is that most people
were there for the drugs, sex and rock and roll. Today in D.C. there was a true kinship amongst
these people based on shared values and intellectual understanding of what America is and how its
future is imperiled by big radical government.
No one was having sex in the Reflecting Pool let alone the mud, and I saw no one projectile
vomiting on the steps of the Capitol. There were no warnings to avoid the bad acid which would send
you on a trip to the hospital. Not just a different era, but a different level of civilized
behavior and thought. Oh, and by the way, these people didnt leave tons of garbage behind when
they left. Actually they left no trash behind at all.

Nancy Pelosi has accused patriotic tea-partiers of carrying swastikas implying that they are Nazi
sympathizers. This event was wall to wall hammers and sickles and words like socialist
communist and Marxist etc. It continues to fascinate me how long the Democrats will tolerate
this without ever commenting on it. Either they like it, or theres something to it.
Ever present at Tea Parties are Sons of Liberty reenactors. The couple on the left is from
Tennessee and the young lady on the right is not but she joined in the photo. The clothing for the
couple was hand stitched by the lady on the left. And boy do they love America ..
