9-12 Taxpayers TEA Party Protest, Part II

This video is part two of two, and depicts the rally at the U.S. Capitol.
Media reports varied widely on the number of people attending the 9-12 Taxpayer TEA Party March on Washington on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2009, but one thing is certain: A heck of a lot of people of all backgrounds, young and old, came from across the country to protest the growth of government power, excessive government spending and taxation, government corruption and government usurpation of the natural rights of Americans.

More importantly, they came to state their intent to defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Most articles said "tens of thousands" of people attended, but some cited numbers anywhere between 65,000 and 2 million people.

I attended the march, considering it my duty to be there. My best guesstimate is that somewhere between 1.2 million and 1.8 million people crowded Capitol Hill and surrounding areas after marching up Pennsylvania Avenue from Freedom Plaza.

We went to represent all liberty-loving people who believe in government limited by the U.S. Constitution, as amended. We went to represent those who think individuals are the answer to their own problems, and that government gets in the way of individuals' success and causes more problems than it solves.
