According to an entry at Tim Brown at Freedom's Outpost, Watch Larry Klayman's Reclaim America (Video):
At the end of September, Founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch Larry Klayman set a date to march on Washington in a peaceful revolution to end the "reign of terror" by Barack Hussein Obama. He then laid out his agenda at the end of October, and today, he along with thousands of patriots are in Washington to speak out and protest the Obama administration until their demands are met.
The archived streaming video now posted on Brown's site and accounts at the Rachel Maddow show's Tuesday’s Mini-Report, Right Wing Watch, Time's Swampland and US News & World Report document much different numbers. You can check out the video at Freedom Outpost (Bluestem couldn't find Bradlee Dean's time on stage in the blurry footage and it's not mentioned in any news coverage).
Steve Benen notes in Maddow's Tuesday’s Mini-Report:
* Dud: “Larry Klayman predicted that his rally calling for the overthrow of President Obama would draw ‘millions to occupy Washington D.C.’ and that those millions would ‘occupy parks, sidewalks, public areas’ until the president leaves office. In the end, no more than a hundred people showed up for today’s big event.”
The Dud link takes readers to Right Wing Watch's Larry Klayman Rally To Overthrow Obama Draws Slightly Fewer Than The Millions Expected:
Larry Klayman predicted that his rally calling for the overthrow of President Obama would draw “millions to occupy Washington D.C.” and that those millions would “occupy parks, sidewalks, public areas” until the president leaves office. In the end, no more than a hundred people showed up for today’s big event. . . .
The photos RWW offers are priceless. Maya Riodan of Time's Swampland reports in Tea Party Protestors Demand Obama Impeachment Outside White House:
Less than 100 Tea Party-affiliated protesters gathered in Lafayette Square on Tuesday to call for Obama’s impeachment, just steps from the White House where President Obama was meeting with members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. “We have been disserved by the so-called leaders of our country for generations,” said Larry Klayman, the chairman of Freedom Watch and leader of the Reclaim America Now Coalition. ““We are giving [Obama] one last chance to obey the will of the American people.”
There were no announcements about the person best fit to replace Obama. When asked who he would rather see in his place, Larry Sherwood from Virginia who held a sign that read “Obama Lies” said he hadn’t yet considered it. ”Maybe Rand Paul,” he said. “But he’s getting kind of old”
US News & World Report's Steve Nelson reports in Conservative Activists Plan to Elect Shadow President if Obama Doesn't Resign by Black Friday:
Approximately 100 conservative activists gathered in front of the White House on Tuesday for a kickoff of what organizers call "the second American revolution."
The event could easily have been mistaken for a tea party rally, with American and Gadsden flags, a smattering of biker jackets and a few lawn chairs.
Freedom Watch founder Larry Klayman, who emceed the event, told attendees if President Barack Obama does not resign by Nov. 29, conservative activists will meet in Philadelphia to elect a shadow government.
"We've got God on our side," Klayman said. "He's going to make sure we win this revolution." . . .
The article closes with this nugget of the vernacular:
"He's kind of like a skunk," one attendee joked. "He's half white, half black, and everything he does stinks."
Lovely.

Does this rally demonstrate that without the clout of FreedomWorks and other organizations, there's little organizing mojo in the religious branch of the Tea Party?

I see that Klayman's people are masters of the Tea Party Shindig Photography technique: Shoot all your crowd shots with supertight focus and crop the bejeezus out of them. That way, it looks like there's a lot more people around.
