The blogs are saying the Police estimates were between 100,000 and 200,000 and Associated Press is saying thousands. But it doesn't really matter. The importance of the march from the White House to the Capitol was that it happened. The first March On Washington of this size meant to send a message to the President that patience is running out. And the first march to debunk the myth that the young people who worked to get him elected do not believe in marching in the streets, that they will only use social networking and on line petitions to redress their grievances.

I spoke with a friend that attended this march. She said that it was very powerful, but that the organizers did not seem to stress the need for immediate additional political action. For example, she has attended rallies in the past, where the organizers had people call their elected officials, while at the rally.
I want to try and bring myself to listen to Obama's speech to lesbians and gays, but I am having a hard time. So many empty words.
