The other thing is the tea party movement is not just Republicans. There are Democrates, Independents, liberals etc. It has nothing to do with the election, it's about how our hard earned tax dollars are being spent. If you don't care about that I'll PM you my bank account number and you can start making some deposits into my bank account. I know I am more fiscally responsible than many our congressmen and women. I am talking about both Republican and Democrates. If you don't think some special intrest group or lobbyist doesn't have their hands in our elected officials pockets, then I have this great bridge for sale in Brooklyn I would like to show you.
It happened. People came. A good showing of them. Good for them for speaking their minds and protesting peacefully.

I think it's important that all people take the opportunity to express their opinions in whatever form they choose. It's our right as Americans. Perhaps if all of us did this more often, real change in this country can happen.
"Estimating the size of a crowd requires aerial photographs, dimensions of the gathering space, and an estimate of the crowd's density."
Tell that to the Park Police, who used this schematic to determine obama's inaugural numbers.
