A Million-Plus Marchers at Washington, DC 9-12 Tea Party?
by T.L. James | 3:33 pm, September 12, 2009 | Comments Off
Stephen Green of Pajamas Media has live reports from throughout the day on today’s big Tea Party rally in DC.
And check out this picture of the rally taken by Mary Katherine Ham [via Instapundit].
Who knew it would be so big?
Just back now from Denver’s 9-12 rally – pictures to follow shortly. My guess at attendance is around 900-1000 – bigger than the anti-war protests, but not as big as the Tax Day rally. Speaking of which, the big poster we were selling in conjunction with R Block Party and Denver Metro Young Republicans will soon be available for sale online, if you missed your chance at today’s rally to get one of these slick mementos of the big April event.
UPDATE: check out this time lapse of the meet-up area for the march – view is above Freedom Square at 14th and Pennsylvania, looking down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the Capitol:
One might easily question the 2 million number, but this sure looks like more than a few “tens of thousands”.
UPDATE II: Matt Welch of Reason was there, and has an even-handed report on signage and whatnot.
UPDATE III: Michelle Malkin casts some skepticism on the accuracy/provenance of the larger reported 9-12 Tea Party crowd numbers (esp. the 2 million figure). Looks like we’ll just have to wait a bit and see what number is converged on with further analysis.
