Thanks for posting this Alex. My husband was watching CNN earlier (we may be divorcing over this - lol), I walked past TV, and saw a live report . Caption under the live seen: "30,000 expected to attend protest". I thought at the time - those masters of BS know that this number is low - but by showing 30,000 EXPECTED on the screen for the entire day, they'll convince some that only that many attended.

I'm glad to know that this was well attended. Dissent is a beautiful thing.

Believe it or not, MSNBC.com (the web site, not the network) actually has this as their top story at the moment (3 PM on Saturday).

Thousands pack D.C. to protest spending, taxes

This is actually an AP story.  Excerpt below:

WASHINGTON - Thousands of people marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" as they protested the president's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.

The line of protesters completely filled Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. People were chanting "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

Others are waving U.S. flags and holding signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress" and "I'm Not Your ATM." Some men are dressed in colonial costumes. Police on motorcycles and horses watched as the marchers passed.

Just got finished watching the special two hour coverage with Glenn Beck.  smile

This is the 912 project that he started back in March.  There were gatherings shown in Illinois and Texas also during the broadcast also.  We have him to thank for getting this started back then. 

He is going to outline a plan starting on Monday as to how the people can take back this country.  And, stated that the next few weeks to a month should be very interesting.  The country is at a pivot point right now.  It could go either way, but with the help of the people, we can take it back.  It is not a matter of Republican, Democrat, or Independent.  We ALL must come together and stop the corruption now before it is too late.  The far left and far right are lost.  It is the middle, which represents the people, that must make a difference now.

Thought this deserved a separate comment . . .

Home pages of CNN, MSNBC and NYTimes all are now covering 912 Events! 

Never thought that I would see that!  biggrin

I watched a little of Beck, and he had a black man on, who said he has been walking throughout the crowd on the mall and he did not find one racist. I wanted to hug that man.

Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending in 'tea-party' demonstration

Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" as they protested the president's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.

The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.

People were chanting "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

I'm so glad that this is being publicized as a group of Democrats, Republican, and Independents. The protester that I saw made the point that they were AMERICANS first - but people of all parties represented.

Viva the Revolution.
