March on Washington, September 12, 2010

It was wet at the meetup in Paramus and a lot of rain on the bus ride down to DC.  Our Tea Party group had two buses and ours broke down around Turnpike exit 4, I think.  Why didn't I take some pictures while we were waiting for a replacement bus?  I don't know.  What a dope!

The rally was scheduled to start at 2:00 and we didn't get there too much later than that.  The rain had stopped and it was just overcast with some sun breaking out later.

I am a much better partier than Tea Partier when it comes down to it and had some beers with some new friends during the rally.  So, I missed a few speakers.

My estimate of turnout - 80,000, using my Mile High Stadium method.  I think that the Glenn Beck rally two weeks earlier drained many potential attendees.  There are only so many trips you can take far from home when you are a normal American with job and family.  If the two events could have been concurrent, it may have been an all-timer.

Had a great time and am very glad to spend a day with so many great Americans!
