Thousands show up in DC for the Rally, all kinds of people went to this Rally. Workers, UnEmployed and UnderEmployed and workers losing benifits and pay there for Better Wages, and Civil Rights. Millions in America are hurting at this point in our History.People have lost jobs and homes due the Economic Collapse enabled by the Repubs and The Bush Administration. This HUGE rally is barely getting coverage from the MSM. It is being shown on CSPAN.Please turn it on. ( I will update this post later today with Numbers and updates from the Rally).
This evening we have been trying to ascertain the actual number 175,000 to 300,000 are the latest numbers....I will post CSPAN clips tomorrow-there were some wonderful speeches by Charlie Hill of the Mohawk Nation, Al Sharpton and Harry Belafonte....

Hi Enigma,
The Hubby and I have been trying to find any coverage on the rally - amazing the void, the drastic lack of coverage. Thanks for the post - good to have you back around! Keep fighting the good fight, Girlfriend!
Hey there...
I know the coverage was no existant...unreal....a couple of idiots in Tri-cornered hats fuss and yeah and they get coverage...but REAL people there about REAL issues : jobs, healthcare .homeloss, labor justice-Nada...No coverage-the MALL was filled yesterday....MSNBC - all "locked up" and Fox and CNN fearmongering some stupid Europe Terra alert ( the joke is none of us can travel...so who cares...)
Dailykos and Huffpo both have good coverage....bless them....
MSM needs to wake up and smell the coffee-they done been hijacked just like the Repugs- hijacked by the Teabaggers and the Koch money...
I saw periodic MSNBC reports, nothing on CNN, and a report or two from FOX. Did not see any broadcast news reports,
I saw no actual crowd reports, but who gives a shi* Our rallies
1) NO signs encouraging folk to HATE
2) NOBODY came armed to the event
3) No signs about using the second amendment options
4) Just signs about peace,education and jobs
Enigma, I was disappointed there wasn't more coverage of this rally the way there was for Beck's. Just goes to show you which side the MSM is really on. I am happy that this rally got such a great turnout.
I'm kind of rallied out. Maybe I am depressed because the hope & change is so damned slow, and there are always these obstructionist roadblocks... it seems getting anything done is a huge fight, and whatever the original idea was gets watered down so badly, it becomes questionable.
I must be burned out on it all.
