At least 5000+ people came out to attend this rally. National cable media SHOULD have reported on this occasion along with the Rev. Sharpton rally and left Glenn Beck to blow in the wind. n/t

1. Wow!!!

Those are great pictures. Gave me a near-front row seat!!!! Thank you for posting. :hi: Looked like a beautiful day in Motown.

It was especially great to see some of the signs that people were carrying. The M$M is controlled by the right wing so these sorts of "on the ground" images will naturally be missing from their repetoire!
