Not sure what it's gonna accomplish. I'm all for standing up for your rights and freedom of speech. But I don't see it doing much other than making headlines for a few days then be forgotten.

What matters is what happens in the days, weeks & months following these gatherings.

What would the protesters like to happen in the coming weeks/months? Having looked at several online photo galleries, the majority of the signs seem to be demanding lower taxes, but that is exactly what Obama is offering.

It'd be interesting to see how many people showed up if this event were held on any day other than today.

They forgot to do this in '81, '82, '83... oh hell every year since we started deficit spending (think American Revolution). Rings hollow when these guys pretty much thought Libertarians were nutjobs getting pissed off about the PATRIOT Act. To suddenly care about taxes and spending now in 2009 after 8 yrs of expansionary deficit spending is exceptionally ridiculous.

Some people are whining b/c their party/ideology lost power and this is the only thing they can cling to b/c the Republicans rode the post 9/11 patriotism a little too far and suddenly realized they don't have a platform.
