This pretty well rebuts the reported low turnout for Austin. http://www.texasphotoforum.com/forum/sh ... p?p=891173" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Because the Austin Police Department determined there was at least 5000 people there, they decided it was best to block southbound Congress Avenue as the mass moved to Auditorium shores for a mock Tea Party re-enactment. Here is the beginning of that movement down Congress Avenue. I will post more when I get a chance. I will also post more from the morning Tea Party at Austin City Hall.
