Forgive me. This is one of the few pictures in the news(online)so far and the first one I saw.
In the back, a sign from Alabama....:woohoo:














YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME !

[coffeenap]

1. Thank you for this wonderful list. I hope the world sees how much

we care and how much we want to remove the administration's control over our country. r'd!

[NI4NI]

18. Besides ending the killing,

the whole world has to see that Bush does not really represent the greater numbers of Americans.
The pictures of today's peace marchers remind me of pictures of thousands of Iranians holding a candlelight vigil after 9/11, the same Iranians Bush is planning on bombing.
If I was a Muslim over there, my question would be, "Then why doesn't America remove him from office"?

[pinto]

2. Yeah! And thanks to all that marched.

:thumbsup:

[HughBeaumont]

3. OK, you know what?

I appreciate beyond belief that the world recognizes the collective efforts of the people and their voice.

But goddamnit . . . WILL EVERYONE in the media PLEASE STOP MARGINALIZING THE TURNOUT???!?!?

It was NOT "tens" of thousands.

It was HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.

HUNDREDS.

OF THOUSANDS!

Don't call me a liar. I don't appreciate being called a liar and I don't think the protestors do either.

GET it RIGHT for once.

[halobeam]

15. The organizers need to find a way when their group meets give them a pin number.

something like that. Then the person can come home afterward and put the "legit" number on the organizations website. Maybe then the organization can upload their count on a NOMOREMARGINALIZEDMARCHES.COM site (cool name?) for a tally by the site admin. (or whomever they are).

How does that sound?

Now granted my neck is out by suggesting something that I have no idea if it would work, but I haven't seen ANY ONE ELSE'S PLAN. lol:hide: :rofl:

[walldude]

4. So much for those posts I see saying protesting is pointless...

Rock On Marchers! :yourock:

[TheBaldyMan]

8. it's fun too - I wish I could have been there n/t

[CrazyOrangeCat]

5. Thanks for this post . . . good job, Alamom!

[Stevepol]

6. Why don't the organizers arrange to have the numbers COUNTED!!

It wouldn't take very much to have one guy delegated with the responsibility to stand at a corner and take a shot of the whole parade as it passes that point, then estimate. Or to hire somebody with a helicopter to take an aerial view and count the damn people!

I know it wasn't ten's of thousands. It was at least 100,000, and I'm thinking the organizers are probably closer with their estimate of 400,000.

But next time we need PROOF!! Somebody needs to take pix of the whole thing or devise some way to get a close count, not just a subjective estimate.

[KaryninMiami]

9. Agreed- when we marched 2 years ago, the media barely covered it

We knew there were over 400,000 but "10's of thousands" was all they would report. If anyone has any actual numbers, I'd love to hear them!

[caseycoon]

7. Tears of joy!

I have tears in my eyes & I'm grinning ear to ear!!
Thanks so much Alamom, for doing the research & posting this! I also love the Alabama sign! YEAH! Cheering from the Alabama woods.
:woohoo: :applause:

YAY MARCHERS!!

[Olney Blue]

10. Great links- thanks!

[me b zola]

11. k&r

[MzNov]

12. Thank you! An awesome post. nt

[133724]

13. K&R Thanks for posting this

me and about 2500 of my friends decided to go on a little walk today.

I am glad someone noticed...

[Alamom]

17. Your Pics are great... Seattle has some beautiful people. n/t

[malaise]

14. Saw coverage on BBC

German TV and Jamaican TV.

[Kurovski]

16. Kick(nt)

[xultar]

19. K&R!

[Spazito]

20. Kick back to the top!

:kick:

[Alamom]

21. Adding a few more: People in the US and around the World are

seeing Americans at their best. I'm proud today that around the globe people of most countries can read or hear about the Peace Rally & March. Within the last 2 1/2 months, we have sent strong messages to our government that we want change and we want OUR TROOPS BROUGHT HOME.
The World Community now knows, the majority of Amercian people does not support this administration nor it's plan to increase our military presence on foreign "soils".

Great job! Wonder why the media decided to show it this tme?

Methinks someone has pulled the plug on Der Bushenfuhrer.

[LeftishBrit]

24. And this from the 'Daily Mirror'

UK tabloid, but more left-wing than the other tabloids:

26. Thank you, Alamom!! Even if the US media seems to be downplaying

what happened in DC this weekend, it's heartwarming to know the rest of the world is taking notice.

[Alamom]

27. You are all very welcome. I am so proud to be a part of this group.

You all are so great to go, March for Peace & bring back stories and pictures for those of us who couldn't.
I'm very happy to post "YOU HAVE BEEN SEEN & HEARD"....and on the news tonight, not sure who, but the man showed the march and said the message was heard loud & clear around the world & on the HILL. :-)

You are making a difference.
