Tea Party I

It was exhilarating. We arrived at 10:30 and came out of the Navy-Archive Metro. When we came out onto the street there was a river of people flowing towards the Capitol. It was amazing! We were in awe! Being there was being in the process of making history. The energy floating was so good and positive. There were people of all ages and colors. I will post a few pix on our cliftongop website and let you know when they are up.
I heard abc report 1.2 million around 12:30pm. My estimate was 1.5 even before that. (and trust me it wasn't wishful thinking or bias, there was just people and flags and posters everywhere I went w/ my little camera filming!) People kept pouring in. It was a sea of people from the front lawns of the Capitol all the way to the Washington Monument, everywhere you turned you could see tons of US flags and gagsden flags, state flags, hand-made posters...The protesting was about everything, the least of concerns seem to be healthcare! It was very oriented to anti-socialism messages...

So cool my friend....
