Hundreds of Thousands Streaming Down Penn. Ave in 9/12 March on Washington, 175 at 9/13 Response by Left
Here are two great videos by Sophia Elena. The first one is of our 9/12 Taxpayer March on Washington which, by our calculations, about 600,000 to 800,000 people came to. The footage from the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue of hundreds of thousands of people marching by is amazing.
The second one is of the left’s embarrassing response, the 9/13 March on Washington, which the organizer in the video says about 175 attended.
What, you didn’t hear about that? It was a grand failure and the powers that be on the left are doing everything they can to make sure you never know they even tried.
Don’t bother checking the web site of Obama’s 13-million strong Organizing for America for the publicity they did for the event--they’ve already pulled it down http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/

And the Ministry of Truth hasn’t yet sent down the memory hole this Huffington Post article or this Robert Reich article about the planned 9/13 counter-rally. In addition to being promoted by the Huffington Post and Reich, it was pushed by the very popular far-left blog Daily Kos , which still offers this list of other organizations promoting the event:
Other groups marching on September 13, 2009 for health care reform are Congressman Fattah’s “March for Healthcare”, “Medicare for All”, and “March on Washington for Health Care.”
To be fair, their event was narrower than ours--ours was a general call for fiscal restraint, to let Washington know that, after Bush’s Wall Street Bailout, the “stimulus,” auto bailouts, an attempt to ram through a health care takeover before August recess, and bills raising the cost of energy, we’ve had enough. Their march was just to call for the government to take over the 17 percent of the economy that is health care.
Yes, this was the left’s big attempt to show Washington that the hundreds of thousands who came to town for 9/12 were the same phony, un-American, manufactured, Astroturf non-entities that came out in force at the April 15th tea parties and at town halls across America throughout August. Reich, is quoted on the Daily Kos http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/8/31/774825/-AMERICANS-UNITED-FOR-HEALTH-CAREINSURANCE-REFORM-RALLYMarch-in-Washington,-D.C.-Sept.-13,-2009 explaining why he was pushing the counter march:
I just want Congress to know how many Americans want universal health care
That, they achieved.
The number is at least 175, and just looks laughable next to our 9/12 march.
