I'm thrilled to announce that this crowd is three to five times bigger than any I've seen here before

3. Great news!

4. Which Springfield? Ma?Oh?Illinois?

[JMCKUSICK]

5. Illinois, sorry

[soldierant]

6. The population of the US is estimated at 342 million people this year.

3.5% of that figure is 11.97 million.

I bring this up because no authoritarian regime in modern history has survived if 3.5% of its subjects opposed it.

[JMCKUSICK]

7. We will have more than that today by multiples I believe

[soldierant]

9. Someone said the demo they were at was four times as big as the last one.

The last one was 3 million nationally. Four times that would be right on track.

Not that that means we can be idle, of course. But hope is absolutely necessary for us to keep on track.

13. I would love to see numbers in the eight figures

8. Love all the signs!

I'm hoping this will push him over the edge into a full blown stroke.
