1. What, no "Don't Govermentize my..."

Guess some old white people DO get it. Shame about the rest.

17. Great pictures

Judging from these pix, it looks as if this crowd was at least as big as the Glen Beckie's hoedown not too long ago. Does anyone have attendence figures for the rally?

2. wow, if all those people would someday rise up

our country would be a much better place to live.

In all honesty, I am there in spirit as I am one of the lucky employed. In my heart I know that for every one that was there, there are ten at home or at work. If we can join together we can make the difference.

I really like you guys, honest. I want the best for you, your families and your future generations without reservation.

Peace

3. and don't you just bet that the atmosphere is warm and happy

I'm sure there are a few exceptions (because the people who've put the time and energy into going to this rally are probably pretty upset about the way things are going), the people there don't look constipated and angry like teabaggers do. Simply by nature, they are more positive people than the conspiracy-minded us-against-them Glenn Beck crowd are, and it shows in the openness and smiles on their faces.

6. It certainly looks like a nicer, more intelligent, dare I say more patriotic crowd

than anything the Teabaggers produce anywhere, at any time.

7. Just look at all that beautiful diversity!

You certainly won't find that at any teabagger rally!

11. Great pics, thanks! Does anyone have an aggregation of all the pic threads?

I wish I could have been there. Where can I find all of everyone's pics? Is there a flickr pool or anything? (I found 3 threads on here so far)

[Iwillnevergiveup]

12. Great crowd shots

Like many others, wish I could have been there. Looks like a huge success.

13. such a different vibe, compared to the *other* one! Very beautiful

your pics gave me goosebumps!

[jn2375]

14. I was there and the atmosphere was just so amazing, everybody was smiling

and laughing and being so friendly to each other. Almost like a huge family gathering. Complete strangers would start talking to you. One elderly couple that sat behind me tapped me on the shoulder and asked me where we were from, she told me her and her husband drove in from Oaklahoma, took them two days!!

15. Cool. Here are photos from a small rally in LA
