>> Kim B Thursday, April 16, 2009 2:58 PM

Mike, Rhett, the Tri-City Herald's April 16th edition quoted the crowd as being 1000 people large at its peak. They had no estimate for total attendance and I was not able to find any numbers from any other local news sources. From my experience at the rally I believe Rhett's statement of 2000 people in total attendance is fairly accurate. http://www.tri-cityherald.com/kennewick_pasco_richland/story/545850.html

Because of conflicting information there were about 300 people at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library event in two different locations. Half of us were at the turn off for the Library and the other half at the Library itself. The security officers at the Library were telling people they could not hold demonstrations on Government property. Yet the were allowing a group to be there! No media attended at either location.

We were told at our tea party that there were 40 total tea parties being held across the state. Most of the people passing by our tea party were waving and honking their horns in support.

I attended a tea party in Sierra Vista, AZ. I am not sure how many attended altogether, and perhaps you'll hear from the organizers. But people came and went, lot of veterans were there, along with families and people of all ages. I estimate there could have been at least 4-500 during the two hours it went on.

Please give credit to NAPLES, FL Protest. We had the LARGEST PER CAPITA GATHERING IN THE ENTIRE NATION. Small city/ big turnout/ no press?? WHY? We had over 3000 people confirmed as attending alone (you show 4,000 if you add the two). You need to get this out to the press and recognize our small community for speaking out. I have pictures but no where to send them. Check out the front page of the Naples News on April 16th edition. Thanks for all your work. God bless you. CHUCK GOSLEE

Another source for estimate for Grand Junction from Daily Sentinel newspaper article - Tea party protest packs thousands at Lincoln Park "crowd estimated by organizers of approximately 3,000 By late afternoon, White said a sign-up table had gathered 2,723 signatures." We saw many leaving before sign up sheets were out so estimate of over 3,000 would be good estimate. http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/content/news/stories/2009/04/15/041609_1a_tax_protest.html

I know of at least 75 more locations in CA. I can guarantee that many of those locations had at least 2000 people. Also, 20,000 people attended a tax revolt in Fullerton, Ca last month- March 7th, I believe. It was higher because it was on a Saturday.

I attended the Albuquerque, NM, Tea Party. At least 2000 people showed up. Most of the signs were home-made; many were very creative [my favorite: I Pay My Mortgage. Is That Wrong?"]. Those signs were clear evidence that most of the attendees were acting on their own - not bussed in with mass-produced signs, as liberal "community organizers" like to do.

Reports have already been posted about the 1,000 attending the Denton, TX event but I need to comment on a couple of things. The crowd was enthusiastic and orderly, but the local authorities placed a two hour limit on the meeting. And after the crowd left the courthouse lawn where the party was held was incredibly clean, unlike the mess left after the inauguration or Earth Day celebrations. I'm extremely proud of the kind of people in this area.

We attended the rally in St. George Utah. Very high energy, no problems, not one person out of line. We had several of our state representatives encouraging us with our pursuit. The demeaning method that CNN and the rest of the media reported was simply not true. This was not a party issue, just citizens protesting the spending and taxing. To be dismissed as we were really sends a message. Our politicians need to be reminded who their employer is. Let's keep it going.

I conducted a "one man" tea party in Athol, Idaho. My work commitments kept me from making the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho Tea Party. I gave out tea bags. In my case, I took three tea bags and put them over a banner on a fire hydrant conspicuously at the SR-95 & SR-54 Crossroads. They were cut on the bottom where the tea poured out. I knew that dogs would urinate on the spoiled tea. This would be my sentiments exactly of how our government wastes our hard-earned resource: They piss on it like a dog!

I have a rolling tally on cities that have reported in and some of the numbers on this list are a bit off. San Antonio had over 16,000 participants. From the SATP committee and local police that were there. Houston is reporting almost 12,000. The Woodlands (North Houston) is reporting 7000. Also, New York has been reporting 12,500 attendees. There were more than 2000 rallies and I have numbers for 583 of them. The count so far....763,615.

The number listed for Omaha, NE is way too low. I was there and would say it was more like 1,500. Even our local paper, the Omaha World-Herald, reported that as the estimated attendance. Thanks everyone for a great event! Many really good speakers attended - the "Patrick Henry" speaker was especially good.

I was at the Philadelphia protest on April 15th and there were more than 200 people there. The park is the size of a city block and it was 3/4 filled with people. Problem is, nobody counts the people at these things so there is no way to tell. The weather in Philly that day was low 40's, wind, on and off heavy rain - downright miserable. I thought the turnout was phenomenal despite the bad weather.

I haven't seen anything reported on Charlotte, NC. Official estimates are 2,500 and it was every bit of that. What a great group of people; patriots all! Only one of the four local TV stations covered it and they made it seem as if the participants were ignorant of the true issues. We met next door to the Federal Reserve Bank and down the street from the Bank of America national headquarters. I hope they were watching.

Over 750 postcards signed at the event. 375 were delivered the day after the Tea Party to each Senator's office. In addition hundreds of postcards were handed out to people who took the postcards home to sign and mail. Also for privacy reasons some did not want to sign at the event. Number of attending was easily 500 to 600.

There are a fair number of patriotic families who will not want to skip all of the July 4th festivities.

Please change the Augusta, ME total to 590. Of the 25 or so people I spoke to there, 9 others agreed with me that they just went to see the freakshow. We weren't there as supporters, we just wanted to see the local white trash ask for tax increases for themselves, and lower taxes for the most wealthy. So, please adjust the total accordingly (even though it should probably be dropped to 400 or so, based on the percentage of folks there to see the numbskulls). Thanks.

Your totals need to reflect a total closer to one-million (1,000,000) people than what you are currently tracking.
