Gary627 posted in 'Hundreds of Thousands of Patriots March on DC' on page 2, about boycotting liberal media(msnbc, cnn, abc and cbs). I mean blocking them on televisions and web browsers. I dont watch them anyway but removing them completely is great and a solid message. Quite a few were asking what WE could do next. Well that is something we all can do while spreading the word to do so. It should be a simple task. I am waiting for a reply from Gary627 over at the other thread. --------------------------------------------------------- I will decline the kool-aid. You can have mine.

My first protest in DC. Didn't march due to bus arrival time & location; but up front at Rally. Loved watching the marchers arrive at the Capitol. So awesome! Found this day to be uplifting, encouraging, inspiring. My "lump in my throat" moment came when a speaker ended his talk by repeating the words, "Stand up for America!" I watched as handicapped and elderly individuals struggled to their feet to shakily do just that - to stand up for America. It was an incredible moment! Sorry that I didn't get a picture - too emotional to think of it. I am fired up to do more, speak more, write more, call more, and to encourage others to do the same. I send heartfelt thank you's to organizers, promoters, volunteers, speakers, attendees, bus drivers, small town organizers, and everyone who made this happen. I am so very proud of my fellow Americans who kept this a peaceful demonstration. A DC policeman told us about 4 PM that there had been no incidents at all. Yeah! I truly believe this is the beginning of the 2nd American Revolution. Let's keep it peaceful, let's keep it growing! Let's keep the pressure on Congressmen & women; the President, and his czars to LISTEN to the voice of America. Let's remind them that WE THE PEOPLE have spoken! "Can you hear us NOW?" Thank you and God bless!

there was a permit for the annual black family reunion. thats why we couldnt go on the mall

i thought the march was great just wanted to vent about one thing why wasn't there a perment for the mall they told us twice that we would have to get off the mall i belive that was intentional when we got off the mall we were under trees and that would make it appere that we werent even there good for pictures right. any way if you were there and you view the link on hannitys web site that has pictures and a scale of the mall and how many people it holds you have to or i have and am certain it was at least a million check it out and keep up the good work

Once again the modern revolution is being ignored by the media. local papers don't mention it and if they do they make is seem like it was a small bunch of angry white people just wanting to attack the president because of his skin tone. Well I was at the march, fist raised high at the footsteps of the capital building. It had nothing to do with skin tone but more the tone of the Washington elite who have decided to ignore the constitution and the people of this country. The gray clouds rolled in and balloons floated across the steps of the capital building. To my left was a pregnant woman, to my right a young man, there were old people, young people, kids, strollers and family's. There were soldiers there, some serving some retired and all angry. Some of the speakers were African American and denounced the movement the president and his Czars “38” are trying to pull off, and that is to make this country a Marxist, socialist country with a huge all powerful centralized government. We yelled out "can you hear us now", we raised our fist and pumped them into the cloudy sky yelling we will take back the capital building and take back the government from the democrats and republicans and give it back to the people. We chanted and listened and tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands all had a common mind set. We are resolved At this time in history special interest, corporations and radical socialist ideologues in Washington are ruling this government and make no mistake they will take your freedom and bankrupt this nation. When you lose the power to choose you have lost that freedom and it’s on the horizon. Do we want to20be the next France, the next Cuba, the next Venezuela, and the next China? Who’s going to stop that from happening???? Pick up a mirror my friend and look in it. It’s our time to recognize the threat to our constitution, and the threat to the American way of life. Just like the patriots of the past did. When I was there a kid fell off his bike that was just taking a ride with his mom. He wasn't part of the protest; he was just going out for a Saturday morning bike ride. When he fell off his bike me and another protester put down our signs and flags and helped the kid up and his mom gave us a big thank you. I straightened his bike helmet and they went on their way and we went on our way. We picked up our flags and moved on. That was the mood of the day ordinary people fighting for their way of life, good people wanting to make a difference, wanting to help each other. Just regular American folks who would rather be watching football then carrying signs but feel they now have no other choice. Another man came up to me and introduced himself and his daughter. You see he drove from Kentucky, and picked his brother up in North Carolina. He didn’t have the money for air fare so he drove there. He wanted to show his support for the constitution and for freedom the same values he is teaching his child. He said to me look at all these people and not one incident of fighting among them. More then anything yesterday I felt like I was on the bridge in concord mass when the first shot was heard round the world. I saw the resolve in people’s eyes, the anger in their voices and I can tell you friends this is not all going away it has only just begun.

I drove from Phoenix to DC to be there for the rally. I could not bring myself to do otherwise. Two family members died in WWII protecting our freedoms. My brother served in Korea on the front lines. He was captured and escaped, making it back to the American lines with machine gun bullets in his legs and part of his tailbone blown off by a grenade, but he made it. He also did it to protect our freedom in America. Bearing that in mind, when faced with the current administration pushing for socialist and communist type legislation I felt I could do no less to protect those same freedoms. No matter what it cost in missing work or travel cost it would be far less than my other family members have paid. I do have to thank the President! Had it not been for the direct actions of the President I would not have gotten to know almost 2 million of the best friends I had never met! Thanks Pres! I know this was not your intention but it sure was the result. As for the rally itself - I was hoping there would be at least a good crowd there and that I was not the only American willing to get my butt in gear and show up. When I arrived just before 8 am at the Washington Monument I was astounded to see thousands already there! Shortly after we all left in a group and headed to Freedom Plaza. Here I was awestruck! The entire plaza was filled to overflowing and there was a steady stream of people arriving from every direction. Yes, I was exceedingly proud to be there, but I was prouder yet of my fellow Americans who showed up. In the week before leaving Phoenix I told friends, co-workers, customers and others I was coming. To a person they thanked me for going and said "let them know you are there representing me too". Most either could not get off work or could not afford the trip, but to a person they wanted to be there. So - if you count me in the total then add at least 50 for those I represented. I need not comment on the total who showed up. The photos do that better than any description I could write. Personally, with all the folks at the Capital, the crowd jammed in around it and around the reflection pong, on past the park area, then curb to curb as far as could be seen, I would not be at all suprised with a total of 1.5 to 2 million. What I got out of the rally itself is that though we carried a wide variety of signs it all came down to the same concerns. Loss of freedom was #1 Next was an out of control government that is spending more than we Americans can afford. Number 3 was NO MORE DEBT!!! That was all followed by the "root cause" of it all - Representative, Senators and a President that are failing to uphold their oath of office by failing to uphold and homor the Constitution! Address those issues and all Americans will have a whole lot more faith in our government! The people I met crossed many lines and were the greatest bunch of people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. There were republicans, democrats and independents. There were whites, blacks, hispanics, native americans and asians. Race did not figure in this rally one bit. Neither did political affiliation. Neither mattered at all - we were all there as Americans! Astroturf? Well, David Axelrod, sender of spam mail (yes I got one too), beware we do not lay our astroturf right to your desk! The sleeping giant has been awakened and we are PISSED! Did you hear us yet?? I do have to both thank and compliment all the folks at Freedomworks and the co-sponsors. Thank you all for making this event possible. Call on me and I will be there to do my part in whatever I can...count on it!

I was part of the group from Ohio. At about 3:00 pm we talked to a park policeman who said they had estimated the croud at 2.4 million, and there were people still coming. I found the estimate interesting since it seemed to be a more percise number than a rounded number of 2.0 or 2.5. 2.4 million was a number we heard earlier from the buzz in the croud. Regardless what the number was I'm sure the WH knows and they aren't telling and I bet they are concerned.

i was there yesterday, from New York State, with my retired pastor and his wife(in a wheelchiar)as well as my wife, and as a believer in the Lord, and as a blessed small business owner, 2 chronicles 7:14, thinking that just maybe there would be likeminded people to remember what and why and how our constitution was founded, Godly principals, "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by thier CREATOR with certain unalienenable Rights"! I was on my knees praying and trying to get people to join in, apparently not a good idea, i was asked to stop by someone who said he was a christian? i was telling people that we are not promised tomorrow,but we can pray today, and some lady said " I'll pray tomorrow? i wonder if she got up today? ALL i saw was a whole lot of people claiming to be christian (according to their signs) only to see in the spirit , that they were all there concerned with GREED and MONEY not the constitution, or our judeo christian roots as a nation! could this be why God is removing His grace from this country? Where are the true christians? not the counterfit christians only concerned with their money and please don't take it away? The bible says that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away! Hhmm.... The only reason we have what we have is because of GOD.. Why are we refusing to pray for this country? Today I have no voice, I left it there crying out for this country and I know I did what I was sent to do? Don't you believe that with GOD all things are possible? All of the issues that were brought to the table can be fixed with one thing PRAYER!! 2 chronicles 7:14 says (God speaking) If MY people who are called by MY name, will humble themselves and pray and seek MY face,and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear them from heaven and WILL forgive their sin (pornagraphy,greed gluttonous,selfishness,adualtry,drugs,worship of false gods,muder, blasphemy,no love for anyone but themselves,stealing,lying,and covetousness of all the things that someone else is working for, and many more sins that are to many to list!!) and heal their land!! So someone please tell what the march was really about? the WORD says to seek the LORD while HE may be found!! Who are we? (as a nation anyway) The WORD says " IN VAIN THESE PEOPLE HONOUR ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT HAVE REMOVED THEIR HEART FAR FROM ME. and Neither a man work nor shall he eat.. Your Heavenly Father, was weeping the whole time.. can anyone say REVIVAL?

The DC March was a historic success. It was a great day for USA and for Lady Liberty! We traveled from North Carolina with 6 buses full of patriots! Thanks to FreedomWorks and all of the other organizations who worked to make this historical event happen. We thank all of the volunteers who helped make this happen also. The state run media can miscalculate the number of people who showed up at this event all they want. But I was there and I saw the endless sea of people who came to stand up for America and her independence.

Mr. Kibbe, I believe you misrepresented the number of people at the march didn't you? Not only did you state there were 2 million but you had the audacity to source ABC News so they could take the hit on the inaccuracy. Even your colleague Mr Steinhauser was at a loss to explain your claims: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/abc-news-misquoted-crowd-size/story?id=85... Oh wait I 'm sorry - now you are letting your own marchers take the fall.

"No man is an island." The great Christian poet John Donne wrote those words, which have come to express for millions the essence of Jesus' message. This is the message of humility that speaks the truth of mankind's existence on this earth. Our lives are brief and what we can know is limited. None of us has dominion over ourselves, much less over the earth. Yet, we do have the free will to emulate the life of Christ-- or other figures who history has offered us as examples of the Saintly life. All of them share a mission of humility, of service to others. This is why civilization was formed, to provide certain common ground, a certain safety from the "state of nature," in which life was so brutal and dangerous that, indeed, all men were islands in constant battle simply to stay alive. Slowly, over thousands of years, the human race has made small steps towards taming its own savage heart. We made a social contract-- Jefferson and the other founders framed this into the constitution. We agreed to give up a small measure of freedom to gain much greater freedom. Because nobody is free when only the powerful, the bullies, the tyrants, rule without constraint. The people formed a government to protect this fragile civilization from enemies within and without. They agreed to pay taxes to provide for the common defense, then for security at home, and eventually, as the world changed, for measures unimagined by the framers. Teddy Roosevelt understood that unless the huge industrial monopolies were opposed by the government that they were the largest threat to freedom in his day. And so it continues. Today, Americans have been exploited by the oil lobby (California was virtually bankrupted by Enron and its allies when they cut off energy to the state in 2001, supported by Dick Cheney and others in their employ). America has been exploited by Wall Street bankers, who let their stooge Paulson grab 350 billion dollars of our money and horde it. And most of all we've been exploited by insurance companies who cheat doctors even as they deny coverage to long term customers who happen to get sick. All because the central government has been too corrupt-- and too weak-- to do its job: protecting the people. We are all islands today, standing alone in a world in which we feel powerless. Now along comes Grover Norquist, a man I went to school with and know personally. He says "People just want to be left alone." Well in the world of today, the man left alone will be a grain of sand in a wind that won't even know he's there. This wind isn't just blowing in Washington or in Alabama. It's blowing in India and China and Brazil. It's blowing in Japan and Ireland and Canada. And this man left alone has nowhere to turn, because he doesn't understand the forces that are buffetting him. Now the government-- can they be trusted to defend that man? To spend his money wisely. Not unless he educated himself. Not if he doesn't understand history and economics and science. Not if he hasn't read Shakespeare and Mark Twain. Not if he doesn't have the wisdom to know that governments will always be corrupt-- but only to the extent that we let them be so. The Freedom Works ideas include some good values. But their creed is misguided. An America of people left alone is a civilization lost. People don't really want to be left alone anyway. People want to be part of something. They want to build a better world for their families. This can only be done in common with their fellow citizens. No man is an island. It is probably worth mentioning that many Freedom Works volunteers felt the inspiration of common cause in their march on Washington. The sad part is that they are marching only for the end of civilization. Because while we would all like to return to the simple Edens of our imagination, it is impossible. What we will find in an America that does not confront the future unified, intelligent, serious, and rational, will be a wasteland. It is probably worth mentioning that Grover Norquist, Joe Wilson, Freedom Works and its allies are heavily backed by money from the very insurance companies and other corporations that are most threatened by the health reform which Freedom Works has chosen as its target. Is that really a coincidence? This isn't to impeach the motives of the membership, only to suggest that they are engaged in a march to nowhere. And that they are the unwitting servants of the real tyrants. The rest of the world sees this clearly. If the membership broadened their horizons they might understand that too. And then, instead of being laughed at, or scorned by most of the 300 million Americans who did not march on Washington (Fox News reported that only 60,000 actually were there-- the same number quoted by that socialist organization, the Fire Department), they might enter into a partnership with the rest of America-- a partnership that can lead mankind towards-- instead of an island-- another great Christian symbol (this one originating from St. Augustine) that shining city on a hill. But then, they'd have to understand what it means to be a minority in a democracy, and this, apparently, is impossible for the folks who insult the memories of the men and women who staged the real tea parties and fought the British to ensure our liberty-- human beings who did not have the right to vote-- which sometimes means not to win the election. Sad to say: the tea party movement stands as one of the most foolish moments in human history. As Jefferson declared, democracy is impossible with an uneducated citizenry. Thank God they number less than 1% of America!

As I walked down Penn. Ave, joining in with the thousands of others, young and old, I have never been so proud to be among them. Thousands, hundreds of thousands, and I say over a million people came from all 50 states to be there, imagine if all those that do not agree with the left wing socialists could have attended. And the white house releases statements that say that this is not the general feeling of the public? Maybe someone should take a poll of those that are working for a living, and those that are already subsidized by the government, and see which each side believes. Those that won't have to fund this plan, of course are going to be in favor of it. I say, those that pay, should have the say. I wanted to thank everyone who made the event possible, for such a large crowd, I was amazed that it was a relatively easy trip for me and my family. Also, my thoughts and prayers go out to all the veterans and our current troops for defending this great nation. We must all continue to fight for our freedoms, and get back to what the founding fathers had intended for this nation, so that our children will still share in these freedoms. Vote out every senator or congressman that does not make the pledge! And do not vote in any that don't uphold the constitution! The time has come, we must act now! Keep organizing and supporting these events!

It was the largest 'rally' of fiscally conservative Americans in U.S. History. We were there, taking in not only this historic event, but a pivotal moment for our country's future. The 912 Event was truly indescribable as I have never felt so in love with this country as standing shoulder-to-shoulder with like-minded Freedom Loving Americans from coast to coast. Now we must continue our movement forward to steer this country away from further danger. We must ensure that our elected officials not only believe in, but firmly uphold, defend and protect our precious Constitution. Sadly, it is my belief that these representatives are fewer in number today than ever before. Please take a moment to download and print the '5 Pledges to Congress'. Distribute to every one of your representatives. If their unwillingness to sign a pledge to uphold the Constitution or their voting record is such that defies the Constitution ...they're OUT! Print the '5 Pledges' here: http://www.INorOUT2010.com THANK YOU AMERICA!

I was there in DC yesterday. I was proud to be an American and felt great that at last those who oppose this socialist agenda have a voice. I have to emphasize that we cannot let this opportunity go to keep the pressure on these leftists. They will go to ANY lengths to change our precious country to a state we no longer recognize. Let's keep the momentum going - let's pledge ourselves to saving this great nation from this administration's foreign ideas.
