Protesters stretch throughout the lawn in front of Congress today protesting Obamacare
10′s of Thousands of Obamacare Protesters Rally in Washington, DC today
So far today, at least 25,000 protesters have arrived in Washington DC to show disapproval of the pending Obamacare legislation
In a rally against Obamacare called for only twenty four hours ago, at least 25,000 Americans have now arrived in Washington, DC to protest the potential House passage of the comprehensive health care reform package known as Obamacare. Right now, various speakers are talking to the growing crowd in front of Capitol Hill as every major highway into Washington DC remain jammed with cars, trucks and buses carrying yet more protesters to join the rally against Obamacare. Of course, the establishment media is ignoring this growing flash protest on Capitol Hill and instead only reporting on the claimed momentum of undecided votes turning in favor of Obama’s gigantic comprehensive health care plan. The President’s media allies, of course, are under-reporting the turnout for the Obamacare protest, with NBC claiming that only 2,000 are on the lawn in front of Capitol Hill, which is obviously false based on the few pictures we’ve posted here. We’ll be updating this post and creating new ones throughout the day as more Obamacare protesters arrive in DC.

A Dutch paper claimed 1.2 million marched on 9/12
renny (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 3:45PM EST (link)but the US media put the number around 20,000, and the powers that be would not let news helicopters observe the Mall that day. Afraid of the numbers? And we know our tough-as-steel president simply left town for another staged campaign event. Oh, not a campaign event. He told McCain the campaign was over.
par for the course

Slurs should not have been used during rally. It undermines credibility.
tngal (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 5:30PM EST (link)2 stories , so far.
Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) was reportedly called the N-word by tea party protesters (the hills briefing room)
And someone apparently yelled “a charged slur” at Barney Frank. (politico)
The slur-hurler was admonished by another rally goer, but that’s not the point. This is the kind of stuff that really makes for bad headlines. This type of craziness must be stopped at the rallies.
Exactly. Those idiots should have known better.

the organizers need to count
ehud (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 6:42PM EST (link)To combat the MSM we need to count ourselves.
1. Rent a helicopter and take aerial photos
2. Had out 10,000 signs or red shirts or red flags or something to everyone in one section. Then look to see what proportion those 10k ribbons are in relation to the whole crowd.
