Someone said to 'US' that they saw alot of trash was in town...I didn't see any, did you? But there were a few foul-mouthed people who didn't understand that "Newseum" quote on the building, hey? Yes, indeed. Next year.

How wonderful and inspiring, the pictures and your article! Ron and I wish we could have been there but there is no way I could have walked at all. Next year, perhaps we'll be there, with our dogs who are Americans too.

On WND I saw there was a sign that said the government is at war with us. That sure is the truth.

We watched all of it on Glenn Beck for 2 hrs yesterday and I would flip onto CNN and MSNBC, not one word, not one picture, not one mention of the PATRIOTS marching in Washington, just Obama speaking in Minnesota.

These so called "journalists" should be so ashamed of themselves to not even mention it. It was an outrage in my opinion. Good for Glenn Beck to have a two hour coverage on it. From what we could see it looked like millions were out there.

Thanks for the post and sharing your experiences. We now know WE ARE NOT ALONE.

a great experience. Great people, great patriotism, great awakening. According to some reports, there were 2.1 million people there and I don't doubt it for a minute. Thanks for the excellent pictures, Dave.

The Alinskyites are at war with America. They're seizing congress and using thug tactics to Transform America. This is a real fight for our freedom, and we know it. They misunderestimate us.

There are moments in your life

when certain things become very clear. Sept 12th was one of those times. As I stood looking at the Capital building and then towards the Washington monument, I knew that no matter what happens over the next year and a half, we are going to be okay. The people want their country back and we're going to take it! I'm glad I went. It was one of the truly huge points in my life.

I was there,too!

We drove straight through and napped before heading for the mall. After parking in the Reagan building (we had to remove our magnets and take our signs out of the car before we could enter.)we walked amongst some the nicest and more determined bunch of people I have ever met. I made some friends and exchanged email addresses. We yelled so much during the march it took awhile to get up our voices for the rally. I was in the Indiana section with about 500+ Hoosiers. It's just so much to express and it's all still so exciting it's hard to put into words.

The State-Run-Media has done itself no favors in not covering it thoroughly,the ratings are going to bottom out now. Thanks for post,and I'll post my own when I catch my breath. God Bless.

Great!

Love the pictures. I went to a local one. I am jealous. I really wanted to go to D.C.

I heard Axelrod yesterday and his comments. These people just don't get it. When are they going to wake up and realize it is not a "mob" and it is Dems, Republicans, and Independents? Nice to see the president ran away to do a health care town hall meeting. Of course MSNBC aired it.

Wow Dave!

I'm looking at your pics, and we were Literally Feet away from each other. :op

It was a historic event.
I've heard (unconfirmed) that saturday was the largest protest ever in DC.

We know it was 2-3x larger than the "Million man march", or any leftist event


The sound of a million plus patriots singing the National Anthem, and God Bless America is something that will be with me forever.

We are America, Hear our Voice.

Damn right. And look what we did to ACORN today. The DEMOCRATS in the Senate voted to approve an amendment to an appropriations bill stripping ACORN of their funding. Wow (the House would need to do so too) only 7 Libs voted to support the Child Sex Slavery organization......

912 was beyond words. I'm expecting EVERYBODY to make it there next year.

Thanks for dropping by Maggie! Come on back now....

It's funny to watch the Enemedia now, they're between a rock and a hard place. If they cover it, they'll be acknowledging Fox's dominance. If they don't, they pound more nails in the coffin. JOURNALISM IS DEAD....LONG LIVE THE NEW MEDIA!

Hey Sue, you've got one year to prepare. I'd like to see everybody there next year!

I sure wish I could have been there. Maybe next year. I was rejoicing in my spirit while watching FOX News coverage and the internet, and blog reports. All of you Patriots have done us proud. Funny, from news reports, there was either 1,000, 10's of thousands, a few hundred thousand, or up to 2 million of you there. I think if you count those of us who could not be there, but wanted to, the crowd would number 100 millions. No Doubt!

BTW, Re: Joe Wilson. I did not hear him shout out "You lie!" at the President last Wednesday, because I was shouting the same thing at the same time in my living room.

Great pics. I'd have purposely missed Pelosi's mouth with the beanbags and hit her face a couple of extra times, at a high speed.

Even though I made the very first tea party early this year, this one would have been truly amazing. Over a million people!

I like the signs

Specially the one that says: "In America we do not redistribute welth, we earn it."

Rush was sugesting to make the next protest in New York, in front of the media outlets.

I would sugest to do it on ground zero, to see if we can light a fire on the morons that refuse to get he job done and reconstruct the area.

Real News

Great reporting Dave. I am proud that so many attended. Next year will be the time to take my long thought about trip to DC!

On Saturday (12th)one of the CNN 5 minute news blurbs opened with, "thousands gather in Washington to protest the government."
It seems the only reliable reporting rests with the blogosphere and Fox news.

awesome report

Loved the pictures. Hopefully this will keep going. The pressure is being felt by Obama and his elite media minions because they don't know what to make of it. The best they can do is isolate a few racist signs and regurgitate their ideas to the American public, but as these crowds get bigger, the more people who know these people will know these are just concerned Americans. That will get them to join in later on knowing there is something wrong when their friends are portrayed in such a way. There's a poopstorm coming for Obama, and he knows it.

I saw John Boehner speak on CSPAN at the Values convention this week. He mentioned the Tea Party I attended in Westchester OH, and remarked that what's happening now is nothing less than a political revolution. I wholeheartedly agree. It's just getting going. We'll have 5 million next year in DC, you watch!
