"i have a dream" speech which was around 200,000 people. this makes it the biggest protest gathering in american history...you'd think people in washington would take notice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594950991726246738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772320554819631112.post-78490111528110878872009-09-14T08:47:19.486-07:002009-09-14T08:47:19.486-07:00The 2 million in attendance figure was not from AB...The 2 million in attendance figure was not from ABC News, as was originally reported. A Freedomworks (the organization sponsoring the 9/12 march) spokesman cited the figure as being reported by ABC News. This is apparently not the case. Parks and Rec are still reporting attendance at 1.2 million, to my knowledge, however.Jonathan Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00146550843249192095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772320554819631112.post-89321016689107748242009-09-13T07:56:57.985-07:002009-09-13T07:56:57.985-07:00Glad to hear it, wish I could've been there as...Glad to hear it, wish I could've been there as well...I believe the reason that there is such a recent surge of the libertarian movement is most likely because the Obama administration is ignoring the Constitution and imposing policies and whatnot so quickly; previous administrations, though they did a good amount of damage to the country and took countless liberties from the american people, did so over a long period of time, while Obama has done the same amount of damage in under a year in office. People are starting to realize that the jig is up, that we've all been fooled by the mainstream media, by our indoctrinating public school system, etc. I think we still have time to take the country back, but theres a lot of work to do, especially since the majority of the population is so brainwashed that if you say anything against the government, its policies, or even try to advocate the following of the Constitution, you are instantly labeled an "extremist" or "terrorist".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594950991726246738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772320554819631112.post-77011866507258398932009-09-12T21:23:55.862-07:002009-09-12T21:23:55.862-07:00That is a lot of people.

It truly...I really wish I could have been there. <br /><br />It truly was amazing to see the turn-out. Nothing like this has happened in recent history and certainly not in our time. It's about time people started fighting back, rather than rolling over and taking it.<br /><br />I agree also that we do have a lot of responsibility for the mess we're in - we didn't keep the politicians and government accountable. I'm glad we're finally taking a stand and trying to remedy the mess we helped create.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006415903913313826noreply@blogger.com
