Thanks for the great 9/12 DC Tea Party coverage. I also covered the event as a freelance photographer. I invite you to visit my website, which contains an extensive photo gallery and commentary on the event. I believe the gallery shows a range of photos not typically seen of the event. I welcome all comments.

Thanks very much.

Here's video I took of 9-12 on the mall between noon and 4. It provides some insight into the attendance... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcQ8kmxrujs

Damn right it is. I live in a college town where they are picking off the industries one by one. I can't get a letter into the local paper to save my soul.

This comment was posted by "jws" on our "Numbers Game" article. That article referred to the tax day tea party on April 15, 2009. So, I am reprinting this comment by "jws" to the appropriate article here:

jws said: Largo, Florida was held in a venue that holds 700 (published in their advertising) Gasoline Alley! I was there from 1-3. When I arrived at 1, it was wall-to wall in the entire place and parking was impossible. The flow in the door did not stop. I cannot imagine that it was less than 700 and probably with those who were coming and going, probably many more. I was also at July 4 gathering outside Perkins Restaurant in Clearwater and the newspaper reported 100 and were not even there! There were 20 under the underpass and 30-40 under the tree for shade most of the time. I can personally estimate that there had to be between 400-500 that day and the crowds packing the three lanes headed to and from the beach were highly supportive. Not a single news station, camera or reporter was seen by anyone, which seemed very odd. All I could think of then was media controlled by government. Why would they not even show up? I aw at least 8-10 police cars monitoring to make sure we did not get into the streets. Why would there have been that many for 100 people? Sad commentary to obviously have the press run by the government!

I like NiceDeb's rebuttal of the left's argument that the 9/12ers didn't have much of an event. I guess they have to stoop to such tactics to feel better.
