Christian Right rally with big names flops (Expected 8000 people, but got no more than 300)

[ck4829]

Early this morning, I went to the heavily promoted, “May Day 2010: A Cry To God For A Nation In Distress.” It was organized by Janet Porter who is best known for running the failed “ex-gay” Truth in Love ad campaign in 1998.

The event was a bust. Less than 300 (not official count, but my own estimate) people turned out in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington today to hear a star-studded line-up of evangelists and right wing political leaders. Organizers claimed from the stage that the event cost $70,000, so they had clearly expected an impressive turnout. The big names included the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins, Generals International’s Cindy Jacobs, Porno Pete Labarbera, Bob Knight and Alan Keyes.

On their site, they took a photo of the sky rather than of the crowds on the ground. There ain't no rally in the sky, Janet!
