We are into the second day of the march on Washington known as Operation American Spring and it’s still very difficult to gauge the actual numbers so far.
Nobody is really reporting reliable turn-out numbers supported by overhead photos and the mainstream media is trying to downplay the event.
Reports from Twitter and Facebook feeds are contradictory. One person will report 10,000, another 26,000 just yesterday, another 20,000-30,000 and yet others will say it’s only 1500, a few hundred or even a few dozen.
One thing is for sure, the Washington Times and The Blaze are under reporting the numbers. Stating the turn-out is ‘dismal’. Glenn Beck, instead of under reporting and speaking negatively about the event, why are you not telling everyone to get their ass down there!?
We know that the feds have trolls on the web spreading lies and certainly they are in these feeds to downplay the event. They want this operation to go away and if they can make you feel that there isn’t any kind of turn out, maybe more won’t show up.
But from what we can see of the video feeds, live streams, some of the photos and the chat, the numbers do seem to be in the thousands.
There were a lot of people held up in their camps yesterday due to heavy rain, and we can now see them in feeds marching today. Also, there are reports that bikers “Rolling Thunder” have stated they will have 500k-750k bikers in Washington this Thursday, the 22nd.
The numbers certainly are not in the ‘millions’ as originally intended and promoted, at least not yet. This does seem to be more of ‘an event in the making’ than some sort of ‘overnight fix’.
The most active chat about what’s going seems to be HERE

Does not matter how many showed up! They represent America!…
I would be proud to join this march. I hate what is happening in our country.
i wish i was well enough to go stand
You a have the support of millions. The people who support this movement are mostly the ones who are working and can not be there in person. Working to support the obamas and rest of the freeloaders.
stay with it it speaks for it self would like to be there
Wish more could have turned up!
wish I had the money to go
Great!
We would all like to go but the problem is we are responsible people with jobs and families who cannot get up and go, let alone afford to go since we are taxed so highly and the economy is so great. #handstied
Everyone commenting please support this movement. I was there yesterday and met a lot if informed, educated people who are fed up with our government. There were even US soldiers in full uniform there, risking their pensions/ current employment in the military. I wish I could have stayed, there surely was/is not enough people there. Don’t even get me started with all of the uneducated morons/liberals giving these patriots bad press
