Thousands of people marched peacefully in Washington D.C. on Saturday,
to honor Texas Congressman Ron Paul's campaign for liberty, yet
the mainstream media uniformly failed to issue a single written
report on the event in its aftermath.
The goal of the event was to organize a peaceful,
non-violent march on the streets of Washington D.C. followed by
a rally outside the Capitol building in support of restoring constitutional
government as the founding fathers set forth.
In light of this, the event was a resounding success,
as it went off without a hitch and also saw thousands of dollars
raised towards the Ron Paul Campaign
for Liberty.
In addition to Ron Paul's keynote speech, audiences
were addressed by Pastor Chuck Baldwin, author Naomi Klein, banking
expert Edward G. Griffin, former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden
unit Michael Scheuer and Iraq Veterans Against The War
spokesman Adam Kokesh, amongst others.

It is estimated that around 2500 people attended
the rally. Some have expressed disappointment that there were
not 15,000 plus at the event, given that number had pledged to
attend on the campaign for liberty website.
However, the day was extremely hot and many were
seen camping out on the outskirts of the rally area in the shade.
Some bloggers
have suggested that as many as 8000 people in total attended the
event.
These numbers were seemingly not significant enough
for the corporate controlled media to pay any attention to the
event. A loan blog entry from the Chicago
Tribune is about the sum of the written coverage
the freedom rally attracted.
Meanwhile, in what was clearly a gross distortion
of the truth, CNN ran a short report which stated that Ron Paul
addressed only 500 to 800 people.
