Great to see that there is a huge crowd there. My husband and kids went, he was thinking about not going because he thought it might rain but decided it was more important to protest the encroaching government (he’ll be the one with the Gadsden :-). I didn’t go because I can protest against the encroaching government anytime I want on my blog. I asked them to send me pictures and videos of the protest but so far nothing. They say the phone service is spotty. If they send me anything, I’ll post it.In the meantime, here’s some great protest shots and an update of what’s going on. I particularly like this one. So true. And this one is hilarious. These protesters have a pretty sense of humor.BTW, my daughter texted me that they were estimating about 1.5 million protesters but ABC News has it at 2 million. Who knows. I hope they’ll be OK. I prayed that a lefty won’t bite off their fingers :-)BTW, I thought this was pretty funny:I’d feel more sorry for her if they didn’t have reports like this:

They brought it on themselves.(via)Update: More funny signage:I particularly liked the one someone set up in the street that read: We are not “a mob” “Astroturf” “Nazis” we are fed up! BTW, I should have mentioned this, my husband does not listen to Glenn Beck, in case you thought that this was some kind of Glenn Beck movement. He’s also not associated with the Dick Armey group. He went because he heard there was going to be a protest and he wanted to make his voice heard.Updated again: Just talked to the family. They have all their fingers! They didn’t even see that many counter protesters. My husband says that he thinks the crowd was about 100,000.Updated yet again: Well according to Jake Tapper, it’s looking like 60,000 – 75,000:

my pal @yunjid says dc fire ems (@dcfireems) tweeted 60,000 – 75,000 UNOFFICIAL ESTIMATES
