Someone said they overheard the press saying there were a thousand folks there, and we were all saying it looked like FAR more to us. An amazing turnout for such a liberal state. My husband said there was nearly a fight at his office when one guy said the protesters were a bunch of biggots and a few someone elses said they wished they could join the protest. I should also mention that our protest was huge DESPITE the number of people who were either working on taxes or doing taxes, I suspect this would have bumped the numbers.

I was planning on going to the tea-party in Kalamazoo anyway. Drove with another disabled Senior citizen where we carried signs to express our disapproval of Big Govt.

My husband was interviewed by the WBTV (CBS ch. 3) - it was broadcast at 6pm. The other media there - the local NBC and ABC affiliates were there but did NOT report it in their newscasts. However they did do a segment on Obama's speech. No bias there, eh? There were a minimum of 2000 there because there were 2000 fliers produced for the event and those were gone quickly - so I'd say closer to 3000. We occupied the entire space for the protest and overflowed on the opposite side of the street. Very orderly and nice crowd. Grassroots is LOCAL - and that's what makes the politicians nervous today - because all politics is local. "Vote 'em out" was a popular chant in the crowd today. My favorite sign: "Reduce spending, elect drunken sailors". I was at the rally in Charlotte. My husband was interviewed by the WBTV (CBS ch. 3) – it was broadcast at 6pm.

I was so proud. How many protests start with an invocation, the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner? There wasn't any nastiness or anger. We didn't have politicians speaking, just everday folks from the crowd who talked about the issues. I'm proud to be a citizen of the United States. I went to the one in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

I'm estimating that we had close to 1,000 in the plaza itself and another 200 or so outside the plaza. Why were they outside you ask? Because local authorities had determined that we were causing a problem with traffic and closed us down and would not let anyone eles in. However, everyone was civil, we were fired up and the infiltrators minded their own business. If you add up the various attenders from the suburb cities (e.g. Katy, Sugarland, Ft. Bend, Kingwood, etc.) "Houston: probably hit over 2,000. God Bless America We (2 adults, 4 children) just got back from Houston and the response was incredible at Jones Plaza.

I was really impressed with the crowd. I saw one anti- Confederate flag guy ( the left will not leave the issue alone dispite a compromise that removed the flag from atop the StateHouse and placed it at the Confederate Memorial). He disappeared in a short span of time. Went to the one in Columbia SC. I was really impressed with the crowd.

I saw this linked from MM. I'm in Winston Salem, NC and they said close to 3000 were at the Sawtooth center today. I thought it was closer to a little over 1000, but, I did leave early. What was so heartwarming was the nearly constant wailing of car horns of happy approval. When I stood with these folks, all I saw was total civility. No one with effigies and blood spurting from faux presidential orifices as in leftist protests of the not-so-distant past. No, these were families, friends, and fellow Americans. They were sure of their convictions and their constitution and took time out of their day and work to say <strong>no MORE</strong>. I was so pleased. While it makes me want to pull my hair out to see CNN (despicable) reporters act as if they're in the midst of a lynch mob, we know the truth. And these numbers alone should mean something to every elected official on both sides. Thanks for your report! Hi! I saw this linked from MM.
