How Many People Attended the 9/12 March in D.C.?

Reader David Thomasson writes in: Here's one way to think about it: Those who estimated 60,000 to 70,000 would have us believe that if a capacity crowd from the Orange Bowl would fill the yellow areas shown here.

There were an estimated 25,000 people in Fort Worth who couldn't make it to Washington. It looked like there were a lot more people in Washington. Hey, Congress, can you hear us now?!?

Tea Party protesters trying to tout the size of their march on Washington last weekend have been passing around a photo of a packed National Mall. But the picture is years old.

There were enough Americans in the Mall to get the attention of the administration and the congress. We are vocal, we are strong, and we're mad as hell.

I have been proud of my country all my life and this last summer has been Extraordinary. I have attended 5 rallies here in California, 4 very large and have met like minded Americans from all walks of life and political views. The one thing I have clearly noticed is the people I meet again at rallies hundreds of miles apart, are the Americans I was raised to be like, Kind, Gracious and Patriotic, Democrat, Republican, Independent and just don't know anymore. The second thing is something repeated by all of these fine Americans "Do the Math" we feel for everyone of us who were able to attend there were another 50 to a 100 who could not make it. I can't find my Calculator but that sounds like a number that should alarm the powers that be on election day. We have proved we no longer need the mainstream media to give us the scoop, we will research and expose the truth about our public serpents ourselves. We proved that our voice counts and this is empowering. I am not on this site because I believe in all that Fox News feeds me, I am here because I believe Fox News hears me. I made a short clip of my travels and the friends I made along the way, oh and we all keep in touch now and exchange information freely. On a side note: I know most of you folks are really upset but the few really inflammatory signs are the only one's the mainstream is focusing on so keep them cool man.
God Bless the United States of America.

So what i read from this site 1.5 million people attended the rally and another 100 people for everyone that could not attend so that is 1.5 billion people that wanted to come I think this number is a bit high

How Van Jones Happened and What We Need to Do Next
Now that Jones has resigned, we need to follow through with two critical policy victories. First, stop cap-and-trade, which could send these groups trillions, and second repeal the unspent portion of the stimulus bill, which stands to give them billions.

We don’t have these answers yet, but power left unchecked can turn very ugly, very rapidly. So it's vital that we all question with boldness, hold to the truth and speak without fear.
We need to start asking the Obama administration and our government officials these questions:
*
- Why do we need a civilian force the size of the United States military?
*
- Who is posing a threat to us?
*
- Who will this "force" be made up of?
*
- Who is the real enemy?
*
- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?
*
- Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?

Our unfunded liability for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?
*
- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red-ink?
*
- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
*
- If it was so important for congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 8 months later?
*
- Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them, how exactly does that work?
*
- Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
*
- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?
*
- Was the cash-for-clunkers program meant to save the earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?
*
- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist become a special advisor to the president?
*
- Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?
*
- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
*
- If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1000 page plus bills actually impose on the American people?
*
- If the ‘public option’ health care plan is so good why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?
*
- If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
*
- Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?
*
- Why would you want to overwhelm the system?
*
- Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about "not letting a crises go to waste"?
*
- What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?

Fortunately for Obama, his inauguration crowd included only 14 people who missed work. The TEA Party and 9/12 people are the ones who would have to take time off from work to be in DC. As for the number who made sacrifices of time and/or income to be there on the 12th, anyone who saw the whole crowd from above knows there was more than 100K there.

1) There are 40+ spanish only channels each on cable and satellite in the USA, they are not watching Glenn Beck in English.

We patriots in D.C. on 9/12 were there because we're responsible, self-reliant tax-payers. Perhaps the under-representation of blacks and hispanics speaks to the fact that these people don't share these characteristics?

Black people in America need a hand. They have been set back so far by the policies of the Democrat Party for these past 50 years that they actually are disadvantaged. Give them a break. Let them play "The Race Card" - every black in America gets a "The Race Card" to carry in their wallet or purse.
*
They get one opportunity to play the damn thing so make it a good one. Need a leg up on getting a job - play the card. Need to get into a prestigious university - play the card. Need a get out on bail - play the card. Need to avoid getting a ticket - play the card. Need to get your 15 minutes of fame by characterizing people who disagree with you as racists - play the card. But you get one chance - make it a good one - once you play it - you lose it - play the damn thing once then shut the hell up. Try to cheat and play the card twice and you're sentenced to 6 weeks of sensitivity training to help you understand and get along with white people.

from this map, it had to have been at least 500,000 total, factoring in wings. pretty big angry mob. Some drove across the country. Some came alone. Some came in wheelchairs.
