We had forty to fifty people turnout. Small but vocal. You will find me at 1:06.

1. Considering the first announcement was late Monday, that's pretty good!

And no, I still don't know why the whole thing was put together so last minute. I haven't had time to ask. But hey, we learned some lessons and we'll be much better prepared next time. Also, CNN apparently did record some footage of the LA event today, supposedly to air tonight (doubtful due to the tragic events in TX) or tomorrow.

We'll see. At any rate, a big thank you to everyone who came out, phoned in or tweeted!

EDIT: Cenk will be recapping everything at 7pm EST/4pm PST at www.theyoungturks.com. Also, if you came to one of the three events and have an interesting story to share, .

3. I think it was a very good turn out considering we didn't have months of planning.

not to mention we didn't have corporate fox noise money financing us.
I hear NY and LA had very good numbers. Waiting on the video when will you guys be posting it?

4. Months? Even having one week would've been nice!

But yes, I agree. As to your question, I'm not sure if the video(s) will be released early or at the usual time later tonight.

7. darn I asked if there were any DUer's there.

8. We didn't think any others would be there.

I put it up in the Georgia forum but didn't get any responses so I just figured that nobody else from DU would be there.
Oh well, we really need another GADU get together so we can all sit around and collectively bitch about the stupid Republicans. :)

6. This just in ..

Fox news estimates half a million protesters turned up to protests CNN's pro Obama administration's agenda!


....

On a side note well done to all. :thumbsup:

10. Protest fox or something

Would have made more sense to protest outside of Fox News or something.

Or had like.. a fake protest rallying against reform. Could have put all the FACTS on the signs and got waaaayyy more coverage.

Could have asked to take away medicare, the schools, the military, police stations, the fed, the post office, and every other "socialized" government funded/run organisation.
