Jonathan Duhamel of Tucson, Ariz. says a local television station estimated 2,000 there.
The Locke Foundation’s John Hood has reported the following North Carolina numbers in The Locker Room:
I attended the Greensboro Tea Party protest at noon. The crowd began to swell by about 11:30am. Lots of homemade signs, many of them biting or funny. For example:
“Protect My Country — We’ll Do The Rest”
“Uncle Sam’s Pork Stinks”
“TEA: Taxes Enough Already”
“Born Free, Taxed to Death”
“I’m 12 with a 160k debt” (held up by a kid)
…I estimated the crowd at peak at around 1,200.
Hood hears from other cities:
Goldsboro (home of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base): 300
Winston-Salem (just a stone’s throw from Greensboro): over 900, reports the Winston-Salem Journal
Charlotte (a higher estimate from the Charlotte Observer than reported by a Locke rep earlier): 2,000
Fayetteville (also higher estimate than earlier Locke report) — Fayetteville Observer says 400.
Locke’s Chad Adams is now in Asheville, NC, and reports from his Blackberry:
Around 1000 here in Asheville and growing!
Mike Thayer says 400 showed up in Iowa City, Iowa.
Dan Curran says there were 7,000-8,000 in Madison, Wisc.
Dan Yorke of WPRO in Rhode Island says:
I’m told 2500 in Providence.

250-300 in Steubenville, Ohio.

I was one of the many photographers at the Tucson event and I can tell you there were at least 2000, but my guess is closer to 3k. I will be making a better estimate when I go over the days' take. It was very peaceful, very powerful. The most striking vision (in my opinion) was the absolute variety of people in attendance. There were young & old, all races, all political parties (mostly leaning Libertarian/right but indeed there were some Democrats present). I think anyone who ignores the meaning of this spontaneous rally does so at their own peril.

Talked to an police officer at the Tucson Tea-Party. He said Parks and Recs estimated 2500-3000 at 10:00 a.m. I was there from 10:00 - 12:00 people came and went on an ongoing basis. Actual attendance was probably much higher than 3000.

To make room for the new unmentioned lawsuits, will the unmentioned lawsuits that have already been filed simply disappear?
