Right Cindy. Glad you figured out where I stand on the issues by two links I shared. While I have a deep respect for grassroots organizations and home grown movements, it's hard to be take them seriously when this is what they're bringing to the table http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-10-best-signs-from-the-march-on-washington/ . I wish the conservative (in Patrick's sense of the word) movement could come up with some better, more serious (non-racist) proposals for change because then they could count me among them.

Of course FREE travel and lodging would bring many people. But it wasn’t enough so the right wing zealots add another LIE on their campaign to stop Americans from getting better health care.

To Sarah: Silly liberal, keep telling yourself that the crowds were smaller than reported, keep making that your talking point so you feel safer and more comfortable. The real point is that we are here, and there are more of us all the time - people who understand what America really is, and we aren't going to let our country fall prey to those who would like to reduce it to the socialist mediocrity they(you) and the rest of the world seems to think is so wonderful. We love the America our founders gave us the opportunity to build... and we want to keep it.

Two links:
first - "...if there had in fact been 2 million protesters in Washington yesterday, there would have been no need to lie about it -- the magnitude of the protests would have been self-evident. I was in Washington for the inauguration, an event at which there really were almost 2 million people present -- and let me tell you, it was a Holy Mess. Hotels, charging double or treble their usual rates, were booked weeks in advance. Major stations on the Metro system were shut down for hours at a time. The National Guard was brought in. At least 3,000 people got stuck in a tunnel. Essentially the entirely of the National Mall, from the Capitol to the Washington Monument, was dotted with onlookers. Heaps of trash were left behind. The entire city was basically a warzone for a period of about 20 hours, from midnight through mid-evening." from http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/09/size-matters-so-do-lies.html

If you look at the so called "fake" photo of the event and compare it to the time-lapsed footage, you can clearly see that the amount of bodies in the shot are roughly the same. Actually in the 912 footage, it actually looks like more people than that "fake" photo.
