The Great March was scheduled to commence at 11 AM from Freedom Plaza, where it would proceed down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the front steps of the Capitol. On the 9-12 web site, the agenda directed those wishing to participate in the march to assemble at Freedom Plaza starting at 9 AM.

William Temple, a Revolutionary-era re-enactor from Georgia, was in charge of organizing the contingent that was supposed to lead the march. He contacted all the re-enactors by e-mail, instructing them to assemble at 8 o'clock so they would have time to organize their ranks.

At 7:30 AM I walked the 4 blocks or so from my hotel to Freedom Plaza. I was struck by the large numbers of people walking there at so early an hour but stunned by the sight that greeted me when turned the corner and saw the plaza: it was packed with people - almost a thousand had already gathered and hundreds were arriving every minute from every adjoining avenue.

I had never before in my life witnessed anything like this - much less participated in it. At that moment I realized I was about to become a part of history.

  • @BrandiBerylene how would this make you feel ashamed? these people are protesting against the ones who would make a mother worry for her children.

  • We should march on Washington and remove the Republican party.

  • Losers playing make believe - now that's a movement. I would love to see the tea party "founders" and a renaissance fair join forces. Now that's change this country can believe in!

  • I would be ashamed to be American...This is a poor representation of the state of the country and I worry for the children of this nation.

  • UNITED WE STAND...
