READER MASON IBAS SENDS THIS PIC FROM TUCSON and writes: “What a well behaved bunch of people. Just lots of conversation about the issues of the day. I’m a sports photographer and thought I’d stop by and check the ‘racist mob,’ what a let down.”

UPDATE: Reader Mike McAlpine writes from Denver: “I thought you might like some photos from sunny Denver. We had a good turnout with thousands showing up in the middle of a work day. A great crowd with lots of Gadsden flags. I think the number of Gadsden flags means more and more people are identifying with the Tea Party.”
