nice size crowd, great signs!

My whole family was there. Police estimate at 1330 (1:30PM) was 1.5 million. Factoring in the reality that it lasted from 9AM to 3PM and beyond, with people coming and going, there were at least 2 million people there today. Don't believe anything that any news media tells you about "tens of thousands" or "thirty thousand." There were (est) thirty thousand people at the Metro Stop location at 2:45PM just trying to move.

Oops, forgot to mention...

Met some GREAT people at the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party march today in DC. A couple people were telling us that we're trying to organize a march focused on the 2nd Amendment. Not spamming for anything, just passing along the info...

Official site of the Second Amendment March (http://www.secondamendmentmarch.com/)

I don't know much about it at this point, but I plan to do a lot of research on it and attend if possible.

First of all thank you for showing up! Second of all I could tell there was a tremendous crowd there standing up for the majority. Third, I still can not believe that CNN refused to tell the truth in how many people were actually there. Earlier today they said estimates were around 2,000. Lol!

Couldn't make DC but did make the local march in Providence RI.
A decent nimber of folks turned out.
I've been reading the coverage of DC and the NY Times simply says "many tens of thousands", The Washington Post says "tens of thousands, many more than anticipated..." and the London Daily Mail reports "upwards of one million" as does the London Times.
FNC reported that Marine One flew over the crowd while airlifting the President to Andrews for his flight out of town.

Through this week (prior to the gathering today) the media was "calling" for 2 million. A fair assumption by those with brains is that the "un" BIASED media were trying to pad the estimate so that "they" could call it a "failure" when "only a couple hundred thousand" showed up.

Unfortunately for "them"...2 million+ were there. :America:

Good on ya CrossFire for making your local march!!! I want to hear more shout-outs from local marchers and hear real reports of numbers at those marches!!!
