I have it from good sources that there were 1.2 million at the march. Sarah Palin said she saw it from her porch.

Also not related to the Health Care plans, but we progressives need to set the record straight on how Dems were trying to show how Fannie Mae was going wrong, but Reps stopped any investigations. It was not capitalism or the free market, but members of Congress ignoring audits of Fannie Mae and allowing them to make bad loans. THIS is the root of all our current financial woes:

Attention progressive friends. Not related to the DC march but if you want to see a YouTube video showing Democratic leaders convincing statements before the IRAQ war click below. It WAS all Bush's fault:

Dems did n't know how Cheney had his paw on the Intel, I don't know if Bush even did.

Well, more lies and exaggerations from this far right fringe. Is anyone surprised?

1 million? laughable. Even the "million man march" did not get a million.

I wonder if these were ALL the people who supported Palin for VP.

We were to have a 'ginormous' teabaggin' here in North Dallas. Low front moved in Friday, stayed all weekend. We had non-stop rain for 48 hours. Karma. Heh.

Until a health care bill is signed, we need to keep up the pressure!

If not now, when? If not us, who?

Kennedy was one of our greatest champions of health care reform. He carried the torch for a long time...and now it is up to us to continue to carry it!

Our elected officials in Congress receive health care mostly paid for by us tax payers, yet many are trying to make it impossible for us to purchase an affordable plan of our own :

While many of us are struggling to afford medical insurance/medical bills.
While Congress people try to stop healthcare reform.
While Congress people accept large contributions from lobbyists to prevent health care reform.

Please sign these petitions - and by all means, spread the word! Thank you!

Conservative bloggers are circulating an aerial photo showing 100,000s of protestors on the Mall, claiming it proves the size of the 9-12 crowd. The only problem: the photo was taken years ago (go to http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2009/sep/14/tea-party-photo-shows-large-crowd-different-event/).

When will the lies and distortions end?

I'm sure it was a million or more-the Repubs were counting all the women's ova, too
