Tea Party Numbers Continued

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.
