The one I went to had about(est)1,500.
I thought there would be about 40 or 50 people in a parking lot.
I met Refinersfire at one in State College, PA. App. 250 people in the cold and mist. I thought 10 folks might show up. A completely pleasant surprise.
I would say there was a fairly large percentage that had posters focusing on the Fed Res but they seemed to stop there, not going any further into what ethnic group owned them.

I equate what I saw as that with the early Perot United We Stand rallies. The focus was on debt, trade, creeping socialism, but none of the deeper issues. To be fair I wasn't up to speed until the mid 90s, so IMO, these events are a start. A very positive start. Folks like us should get deeply involved and keep the Rs out by any means possible. Once they grab it in any way, it's over.

The average GOP or Blue Dog Democrat voter has absorbed a lifetime of second world war propaganda. He's come to associate family values with foreign aid and the magnanimity of Uncle Sam. He believes that America's duty is to lend a helping hand to the foreign downtrodden. He believes in the superiority of his culture, such that it is. He will fight, and I mean fight for the ten commandments (you choose which version, he doesn't care) to be installed in a courthouse or kept in a classroom. He's an ecumenical toward Jews, but Moslems are worshiping the moon. He would lay waste to a billion people to prevent a dirty bomb in an American city of unknown origins, in advance. He believes FOX News and Coast to Coast AM. He can't understand why we don't fix illegal immigration. And he prays for the peace of Jerusalem.
