I have been adding numbers since May 28th when it was announced and I started keeping track.

NYC had at least 1/2 million. Small towns with 800 residents had 400 marchers so that is a pretty good number to base comparisons on. Estimates were grossly underestimated. I've been bitching about it in the Activist Headquarters Forum for 3 weeks. Just look at my posts and you can see how frustrated I am with this BS from the MSM's greedy, corporate millionaire/ traitors.

San Diego had 80,000 protesters (I saw it today on the local news). Three days ago they said 10,000. My 1st grade students could add better.
