My wife and I attended the DC Tea Party, and let me say it was great to see thousands of Americans getting out and making their voices heard. We don’t know how many of us were there, but I can only say, there were people as far as the eye could see. In fact, I heard that they were turning buses away, and closed the Metro. How big was the crowd in D.C. today? from Hot Air » Top Picks by Allahpundit. The UK Daily Mail reported 2 million, but other estimates were down to around 50,000.

I know some of you are probably disappointed by the lack of media coverage. Ask yourself. Would they have ignored us if we were small in number? If we are so wrong, and a fringe, than why not expose us for what we are? WH aide: ‘Tea party’ protesters ‘wrong’ from The Washington Times stories: Latest Headlines by <StaffMember: Sean Lengell>
To my fellow patriots, keep up the good work. To those who wanted to attend, but couldn’t, we know you were with us in spirit. To those of you who feel nothing you do will make a difference, this is what they are counting on. The battles we are fighting now, will have dramatic consequences in the future for us, our parents, our children, and grandchildren. We have been complacent for too long. We have allowed our government to slip away from us. Republicans are equally guilty of this. We have betrayed our conservative principles of small, limited, fiscally responsible government by electing politicians who only care about their power, and pandering for votes. We must defend the Constitution, and not let it be manipulated, and distorted. We must fight for our freedom and liberty or it will be taken away. We must get out and vote.
If things do not turn out the way we hope, I will be able to tell my children I tried.
