http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/us/politics/13protestweb.html?_r=1&hp Thousands Rally in Capital to Protest Big Government
On a cloudy and cool September morning, people waved flags and carried signs as they arrived at Freedom Plaza in downtown Washington,and before long the throng filled the west lawn of the Capitol and stretched to the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue. The event was being billed as the culmination of summer protests at town meetings, where opposition to the president?s health care plan boiled over.
?This is not some kind of radical right-wing group,? Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina, said in an interview as dozens of people streamed by him a few blocks from the White House. ?I just hope the Congress, the Senate and the president recognize that people are afraid of what?s going on.?

No, that post confuses me a tad. I figured the march was over yesterday.
And, based upon your response, you, Young Lady, have never been to the Tally Ho.
Clues: college, dancing on the bar, thrown out.

Good article. I liked the slogans he noted starting with:
"Stop spending our tacos. I love tacos"

I'm sure the Ho was a Meet Market, too. I was always on a different agenda somehow. Go figure~~~~~~~~

I'd be interested in knowing how many of these folks (over 2 million by some reports I've read) voted for Obama? I have to assume some who are marching today gave Obama his mandate but are now having second thoughts.
Generally speaking though, 2 million? When was the last time we had marches on Washington this size, I really can't recall anything like this in my adult life.
Where did you get those numbers? Perhaps Fox news.
