At least 150K rally across the US



San Diego. As usual, the truck was a big hit



Hundreds of people spent their day off rallying in solidarity with Wisconsin's workers in Jefferson City, Mo., Lancaster, Ohio, and Raleigh, N.C. There were thousands in Denver, D.C., Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, New York.

Asheville

As we expected, the mainstream media missed the story -- probably because there weren't more than a few dozen Tea Partiers at any of these rallies. So TeamsterNation is making a valiant effort to count the number of protesters through twitter feeds, field reports, blogs and the occasional local radio report. So far, we estimate there were 145,00 people attending rallies. We still need to hear from more places, including some that we think attracted thousands. We can't imagine that there were fewer than 150,000 people out on the streets today, fighting for the middle class.
