#TheCallTurnoutFAIL exposed: Organizers planned for 30,000, not 6,000; Endless, empty blocks of JumboTrons, Porta-Potties unused

Andy Kelley, Courage’s New Media Organizer, was at TheCall yesterday (Saturday), and wrote this piece revealing how the event was actually a total failure in terms of turnout, compared to what the organizers expected. Lou Engle expected 30,000 people, it appears, if the multiple JumboTrons and Porta-Potties stretching on for blocks… of empty grass… are any indication. Not to mention the 55,450 unused water bottles, outnumbering actual attendees almost tenfold.

4. I was just gonna say
This is a huge dilemma for them - they can't GIVE them away to anyone needy because that goes against everything they stand for. They're going to have to sell them.

5. I guess smearing baby blood
all over everything under the sun isn't quite as lucrative as it used to be.

7. Teabaggers don't like to drink from water bottles...
Because they prefer segregated fountains.

Personally, I think the annoying music was keeping people away.

8. That's less money for the Prop Haters to make trouble with.
God is not dead, she just told everyone to stay home and roast weenies instead.

I'm SO GLAD I did.

I bet those water bottles cost them a pretty penny.

14. I could see them setting up from my office
on Capitol Mall last Friday. I was hoping that maybe a space ship would come and take them all away.

17. Someone needs to follow the money ..investigate
How was this event paid for it is obvious it is not a grass roots donation generated.

My gut is some big sugar daddy steps up...not totally but ..Tim Lahaye abused us in writing fearmongering books in series and made 100's of millions...other sugar daddys? someone needs to
follow the money.

estimates at the event costs 5 million to 10 million

how could 6 thousand people pay for that??

18. I love the people walking by. They seem utterly oblivious to the blankness and nonsense.
I would totally steal a case of water.

24. That's just funny . . . but watch the videos from up front.
My GOD. The Zombie Apocalypse is upon us. These people will not stop until they have control of this nation. What a sad farcical movement of weakness. Religion could be OK if it weren't for the fanatics, who unfortunately seem to be getting more and more numerous as time goes on (this video notwithstanding).
