It's still early yet. Just a quick scan shows somewhere around 50,000 so far showed. Near 2,000 in front of the White House, maybe more counted later in the evening.

they are having one Saturday. I was invited by some friends to go. I think I'll go just to see what all the fuss is about

but if they don't have coffee as an alternate beverage I'll be irritated

Where'd you get the numbers?

I goo-gooed it, play on the term, and scanned a few intros. It's probably an underestimation.

No!
It sounds about right!
50 states 1000 per state.
That's about what I saw,,,

These tea party protests are joke. What are the saying "No Taxation even with representation?" But wait taxes haven't increased under Obama yet.

Oh their complaining about the spending, but that make no sense. To get out of a recession you have to spend your way out of a recession like with FDR and the New Deal.

Oh they say it's socialisim, nonsense. Without TARP the major banks with go bust and then the economy would even more worst off and it already is now. Not to mention that Bush sign TARP not Obama. Now that can't be socialism can it?

Consevatives are whinning that a Democrat is in office with the job of saving capitalism...again. History repeats it's self, the market crash of of 1929 had a republican president in office. The people vote FDR, a democrat, to the white house to fix the nation. He is so popular he is elected 3 more times. Fast forward to the 2008. An unpopular republican president is in office, there is a housing market crash, months later a stock market crash and a banking collapse. The nation looking for leadership elects a popular democrat to fix the nation.

HAHAHAHAHA... Its just so simple, isn't it? HAHAHAHAHA....

Right on!
Well said

No, that was 5 States and it's still early and we have to count Saturday also. Approximatelt 2,000+ in front of the White House alone.

We Had 2000 to 2500 Here Today! I'm Sure Phoenix will Have a Much Larger Turn Out.

I have seen pictures.
In many state capitals only about 40-50 people showed up.
The only numbers I can find on the Internet claim thousands protested. Nothing specific, but not 100's of thousands or even 10's of thousands either.

The protests were a bust, but with 68% of the country reporting they are satisfied with the amount of taxes they pay!
Did anyone expect anything different?

I have reserved judgment until now Sitting here watching Hannity,I am noticing that its all republican politicians and spokesmen speaking at these events. That doesnt seem to be "grassroots" to me.

from what i saw, we had a decent turn out in this city. i know many that wanted to go that couldn't

Dream on rose!

not dreaming one bit

And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Tax Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar.

How many showed up?
How many really felt it was worth missing a day of work?

50?

i really don't know fanta. and i don't know how many happened in the surrounding cities too. i couldn't go and i know many that wanted to but couldn't

If they really thought it was important they would have!

Fact is most being just didnt think it was important enough!

well I couldn't go because I'm still recoverying from an attack and had to take care of my sister. my grand mother and her friends couldn't get out. and alot of people COULDN'T take off of work.

are you actually going to tell me what i know or think?
