Near the main stage though it was more congested the closer you got to the stage, the Capital police limited the number of people on the grass, they claimed for emergency vehicles if needed. It gave the appearance of less people. Once you were off the lawn and on the street past the fences people were elbow to elbow. When I got there around noon people were leaving to the point that I thought it was over. But when I left about 3:00 people were still coming and going. I came by bus and had to get off several blocks from the normal bus stops. People lined the streets that had nothing to do with the march due to outdoor shopping stands that had been set up. I’m sure people were taking advantage of their visit to D.C. and these people would be out of overhead camera view at any given time. With what I saw I hope Washington politicians are going to consider the fact that we were there. Walking in there were several long pauses and outright stoppages like you would run into on a freeway that had road construction slowing things to a crawl. Sad to say I really don’t think they care about even this.
