Turnout for 8-28 rally versus turnout for the 10-2 rally

Here are two pictures. The one on the left shows the crowd from the Restoring Honor rally. The one on the right shows the crowd from the One Nation Working Together rally. Turnout definitely appears to be quite a bit larger at the Restoring Honor rally.

I did quite a bit of searching on the Internet, and couldn't find any pictures that depicted the crowds at the One Nation Rally being any larger.

A quick recap:
  • Restoring Honor rally:
    • Tribute to the military, God, and promote the founding principles of Integrity, Truth, and Honor.
    • Paid for by donations from the people, with net proceeds going to SOWF (Special Operations Warrior Foundation).
    • Was non-political. People were told to leave signs at home, and politics were never brought up.
    • People and small local groups got together and paid their own way to Washington D.C.
    • Criticized by Obama and the current administration.
  • One Nation rally:
    • Promoting Socialism, Marxism, Communism, redistribution of wealth, big government.
    • Paid for by the Tides Foundation (very scary organization; social justice, global redistribution of wealth)
    • Very political. Lots of professionally made signs and t-shirts. Also booths set up for giving away and selling books and other materials.
    • Lots of unions paid for signs, shirts, and buses to shuttle people in for the rally.
    • Endorsed by Organizing for America, Obama's official community organizing group.
Maybe there is hope of restoring this country to the values and ideals that the Founding Fathers intended...
