Holy God, LOOK at this picture:

[WilliamPitt]

The New York Times calls this 'tens of thousands'. My ass.

[Bossy Monkey]

1. Just another little focus group I'm sure is what Bush is thinking n/t

[JanMichael]

2. It's about 4x bigger that the 03/15/03 AntiWar Protest!

[Catshrink]

5. Fantasic photo, Will

Thanks for posting. About 100+ x 10,000 would be more like it.

[fearnobush]

6. Tell them like it is. The largest pro-rights wedge issue spreading

Bu$h's ass cheeks apart to date. Email, snail mail the the NYT, force them to remove the truth gag. It's time to get a million person march to shut down the media until they start reporting honest accurate news.

[SpiralHawk]

7. Go Sisters

Tell the pResident* what you think.


* AWOL for over a year while honor-bound by solemn oath to be serving with the Texas National Guard in the 1970s; defeated by a clear majority of patriotic and discerning American voters in the 2000 election; selected to office by the "legal" system.

[DAGDA56]

8. Reminds me of the B&W shots of the Mall...

...when MLK gave his "I have a dream" speech. Awesome.

[Chicago Democrat]

9. Wow

Hurray!

[Mari333]

10. damn! wish I had the energy to be there

wow.
wow.
Marched back in the 70s with them, and here we are again, fighting.
Gosh.

[newsguyatl]

11. pic of hillary there

[coloradodem2005]

20. I heard that Howard Dean would be there too.

Do you have a pic of him?

[jbfam4]

29. Is that Frank Launtenburg in the back?

[fearnobush]

34. Yes it is. He is one of our strongest Dem's to date. I'm so proud

to have voted for him.

[Paragon]

12. And this one...

;-)

[liarliartieonfire]

13. Latest Count is over 1 million. Largest Ralley EVER in US History

AMEN

[newsguyatl]

16. excellent!

>>Latest Count is over 1 million. Largest Ralley EVER in US History<<

this is great, where are you getting the info?

[NMDemDist2]

24. the organizers are counting and asking for volunteers

to count-- They have announced 1 million with people still arriving

[fearnobush]

18. Lets get 5 million at the Puke convention.

[WilliamPitt]

31. IS THERE A LINK FOR THAT COUNT?

[tridim]

43. Just wait until the Republican convention

It could easily break a world record. The People are pissed.

Oops, looks like someone just pulled the plug on CSPAN's feed.

[Webster Green]

15. Media Filter Conversion Table

Media Report vs. Actual Numbers

tens = hundreds
hundreds = thousands
thousands = tens of thousands
tens of thousands = hundreds of thousands
hundreds of thousands = millions

[VolcanoJen]

17. Reuters says "HUNDREDS of thousands"

Reuters still says "hundreds of thousands," and that the 1992 march drew 500,000. They also noted that the largest march ever was an anti-Vietnam War rally in 1969, which drew 600,000.

Hundreds of Thousands Protest Bush Abortion Policy

Rate that story a 5, while you're there!

[Dudley_DUright]

19. I was just in DC walking around the Mall last Tuesday

I wish I could be there today. That crowd is amazing.

[KoKo]

22. Believe it or not "whore CNN" said 150-200,000 this morning! The pix

of this huge mass of folks couldn't be refuted! They also showed this pix beside Karen "Huge" when they started to interview her.

Maybe it was a renegade producer who got those numbers and the photo on to dig at "Huge."

Great Turnout. Wish we could have gotten that with the Iraq Invasion protests. But, thrilled as all Women should be at the turnout.

[Tellurian]

23. And...they're ALL for John Kerry!

[NMDemDist2]

27. I saw some Dean signs too n/t

[VelmaD]

25. Yup...we're just another "focus group"

:eyes:

Great pic honey. Thanks for sharing it.

[kentuck]

26. Just a small group of protesters....

No need to mention on network news...

[Loki]

28. One million strong and counting.

Loki proudly says, "I am Pro-Choice America."

[No2W2004]

30. THIS

makes me proud to be a 'merken!!!

[TahitiNut]

32. Larger version of same photo ...

[newsguyatl]

39. this is great

i just wish this many americans could (would have gotten) out to protest the illegal and immoral war in iraq; and the u-s government stepping on equal rights for gays; and for all the other atrocities of this god-awful administration.

[wuushew]

97. That area is approximately 4884 x 640 feet

The event from 3rd to 14th street yes?

If someone who was there could provide an approximate population density we could have a ballpark figure.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. Teh revolution

will not be televised

[DrWeird]

35. CNN: tens of thousands.

With about 100 opposers.

Guess which is over estimated and which one underestimated.

[fearnobush]

42. CNN: Worse than FOX Media Whores.

Hit CNN hard. CNN is a Repuke promotion Lie-work.

[Jeebo]

36. This crowd is nothing compared to...

...the crowd in November that will be protesting the Bushies' theft of ANOTHER presidential election. I will be participating in that one. Whatever it takes for me to be there, I'll do it.

Ron

[Webster Green]

40. Either that or worldwide dancing in the streets!

When smirky goes down in a landslide.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

44. If that happens again, I don't care

if I have to walk from Chicago to DC, I'll do it.

[Catt03]

37. I am so proud of those marchers

Thank you.

[No2W2004]

38. pictures

[Kadie]

45. Amazing pictures

thanks for posting them

[nomatrix]

100. Begs for the caption

George, this is God speaking to you, in sign language.

[liarliartieonfire]

41. Catherine Manheim Bush-Slapping -

I want her voice in our Government!
She speaks as we do.

[0007]

46. Great article! Thank you very much Will

[bread_and_roses]

47. That is awe-inspiring

I hope those fascists in the White House are watching and wondering, for every woman there, how many wish they were?

[Tellurian]

48. Hillary w/Vanessa Kerry

[newsguyatl]

50. hillary looks great

i think she's shed some pounds (not that she needed to) but she looks wonderful. as does kerry's daughter.

[Zorra]

49. Hey......Bu$h! - See ya!

This is the poll that matters.

[robbedvoter]

52. Coverage is back - Najimy now - very good!

[tabasco]

53. And the women shall lead us ...

to save this country. I am so happy. Our sisters and mothers are setting such a great example for us all. We must follow their lead and all take to the streets against the criminals stealing our rights and destroying our country !

[opihimoimoi]

54. It was the women who put pressure to end the Korean Conflict, as it was

called.

Truman eventually decided to wisely end it. Mexican Standoff, 38 parallel, still going on. Look at S Korea, building, wealthy, rich. Look at N Korea, destitute, famine for 10 years, stupid leader, etc.

Our women know a bad deal when they see it. Bush is a bad decision and now America is seeing it up close. The Women are pissed.

[Iceburg]

56. Bush just lost the latino vote

[playahata1]

66. I have been thinking about this for a while.

If we can't get Bush on Iraq in November, perhaps we might get him on women's rights. I know that rhetoric is not enough, but based on the turnout in Washington today, I have a feeling that THIS is the issue that will do him in.

[AbbeyRoad]

55. This makes me so proud.

I wish I could be there to stand with them physically, but I still stand with them.

[Catt03]

57. Oh God!

They are calling Bush

[liarliartieonfire]

58. LOL calling Bush!!

This is great**

[Tatiana]

59. WOW!

Did I spot Sofia Loren there?

[RetroLounge]

60. I am so proud to be a pro-choice Democrat today

Wish I could have been there...

I would guess there won't even be a mention of this in the local Milwaukee paper...

RL

[Blue Gardener]

62. Absolutely Fanatstic!

Gives me goosebumps to look at the picture. Also listening on CSPAN. It's a proud day to be an a Pro-Life American woman.

[robbedvoter]

63. I love the emphasis on voting, other rights - besides women reproductive

ones - there is trully a good energy there - wish I went

[doni_georgia]

65. Largest march ever! Yeah baby!

[robbedvoter]

67. Julian Bond now - NAACP chairman

Brings up Brown vs Board of Ed - also an aniversary.
Ties it with civil rights.

[Political_Junkie]

68. This is beautiful

More than 1,000,000 according to the current speaker!

[robbedvoter]

69. Louise Slaughter - D NY - a House reps contingent is introduced:

Jerold Nadler, Shaila jackson lee, Bernice Johnson - a long list.
mentions international participants protesting the gag rule.
Hilda Solis - D Ca, recites W's measures against women. Crowd chants: "Shame, shame . Bush"
"Your vote is your choice"

[Iceburg]

70. Largest US protest ever ... and all bashing Bush

I am Canadian, and I too am very proud of America today.

[Catt03]

71. Thank you

I am proud of us too.

[Q]

72. Democracy in Action!

- The Democratic party should learn from this and act accordingly.

[LizW]

73. Sheila Jackson-Lee just moved me to tears

She was amazing.

[Lorien]

74. My Dad's girlfriend is there, I wish I were, too!

Yay Trisha! :toast: to all those participating today! :bounce: :bounce:

[Sticky]

80. I have friends there too

They travelled from Ottawa and Nova Scotia. They're carrying signs that say "Pro-Life Anti-Bush" ....and I know they're kicking ass there. LOL

Wow America....can you guys organize!!!

[playahata1]

76. Remember the case of Becky Bell, the girl from Indiana who died

because of an illegal abortion -- and the parental notification laws? "Rolling Stone" published a fine article about this in the early 90s. Her father and brother both spoke minutes ago.

[Iceburg]

77. 1,150,000 attend the Bush Bash ...figures just announced at the march

[Tatiana]

78. I hope all of these people are registered to vote! n/t

[Dark]

81. Well

the speakers certainly encouraged them to vote.

[myomy]

79. Which one is Kerry?

..

[Catt03]

83. Kerry was there yesterday...all day

[Disturbed]

82. Bushco vs Women

Bushco has a horrible record on women's issues.
Roe vs Wade will surely be watered down or overturned
if Bushco usurp another term and that alone is cause for
voting for J. Kerry.

[Killarney]

84. I'm so impressed!

Those pictures are great. I'm very proud right now. :)

[DaveSZ]

86. .

I was proud of all those women out there today!

I wish I could have been with them.

:kick:

[bigtree]

85. This is a larger field of marchers than I photographed at the MMM

There was space back then at the end of the field before the Washington Monument. This is amazing.

[powergirl]

87. THE WOMEN WILL BE THE ONES TO GET HIS ASS OUT OF OFFICE

Anyone who knows a "soccer mom" please put the squeeze on them to vote. The ladies I know who voted for Bush last election were furious after the first week he took office when he started yammering about his pro life platform.

[LittleApple81]

88. Have you noticed that many of the whistleblowers for most of the scandals

have been women.
Go, go, go!!! Bush out!

[KoKo]

89. YOU said it "powergirl!" The women will kick his butt out! Strength of

Female Power!

[DemonFighterLives]

90. I kept yelling

Yes! Kick him in the nuts, er codpiece.

[Gloria]

91. I still have my Becky Bell bracelet...and wow, this is so much bigger

than the 2 marches I went on during the Reagan/Bush 1 years!

They weren't nearly as big! Were there any cememtary monuments up? At one of the marches, there were monument up to dead women....

I wish I could have been there today!!!

[Arugula Latte]

92. My favorite slogan

from the '92 march was on a sign held by a young guy who was very popular with the crowd. It read: "Men who don't support a woman's right to choose can go fuck themselves!" Great double entendre.

[spanone]

93. Like just a few insurgents. Rat Bastards.

[GOPisEvil]

94. I was there...there were AT LEAST A MILLION people there!

I've never seen that many people in one place in my life.

The NY Times and Yahoo News can kiss my choice-loving ass!

[spanone]

96. Washington Post: " Hundreds of thousands "

"estimates up to 1.1 million".

[FizzFuzz]

98. WOW!!! THIS IS GREAT!!!

I was planning to go, then realized I had made a commitment to work this whole weekend!! I made the commitment MONTHS ago!!
Dammitdammit, I NEVER take full weekend jobs..... :cry:

sigh. Well, at least the job was meaningful, so there's some consolation.

[Carolina]

99. YIPPEE

Can you read my glee, see my joy, hear me roar. Yes, Bush will be out the door! Because this is just the tip of the iceberg, the media propaganda be damned.

Thanks to all of you for posting pictures. You all have made this old feminist one happy girl ... just wish I could have been there.
