Official Count 9/12 March on Wasington (according to math)

Using the available photos along with some satellite images of where the crowd had congregated I have developed some rough estimates of what our crowd size may have been.



For the tech heads or for those monitoring and wondering how these numbers came to fruition here is the technical portion; for all others you may want to skip ahead a paragraph. The model I used is a type of “piecewise linear approximation”. This allows us to formulate an equation of crowd density of a per person, per square feet, per vector based on the primary assumption of a linear disbursement from an epicenter which in our case was the main stage. Basically we would have close to 1 person per 1.8sq feet at or directly around the stage and the crowd disburse to approx 1 person per 4sq feet at .7 mile from the stage.

Using the images available we have approximated the crowd stretched just over .7 mile and overflowed the capitol lawn and down some of the side streets. With all of these assumptions our estimates are about 280,000 on the capitol lawn, 887,000 off the lawn and stretching down the street for almost ¾ mile, and another 77,000 – 89,000 outside of the vectors we measured or down adjacent side streets. This brings the total to 1.25 million. Not quite the 1.8 or 2 million some are hoping but FAR more than the 75,000 or ten’s of thousands others may hold on to as well.

Bottom line, still a number that can no longer be ignored. Taking this formula one step further as we go 500 miles away from the heart of the march in DC to back here in Kentucky we would still have 1 person for every 1,100 sq feet filling the state with over 200,000 more fired up patriots right here in the Bluegrass that could not make the trip. As we continue across America we pick up millions and millions more that think and feel as we do but made their voices heard back in their homes. This is much more now than just seeing that we are not alone, we have come together in a historic moment and made our voice heard.

President Obama, Congress, Senators, Republicans and Democrats CAN YOU HERE US NOW!!.
