A collection of photos shot at the Rally To Restore Sanity (hosted by Jon Stewart of The Daily Show and Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report) on Saturday, October 30, 2010 on the National Mall in Washington D.C.  What was/is the Rally To Restore Sanity? Here’s an excerpt from the official website:

“I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

Who among us has not wanted to open their window and shout that at the top of their lungs?

Seriously, who?

Because we’re looking for those people. We’re looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn’t be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it’s appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles.

Are you one of those people? Excellent. Then we’d like you to join us in Washington, DC on October 30 — a date of no significance whatsoever — at the Daily Show’s “Rally to Restore Sanity.”

Ours is a rally for the people who’ve been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) — not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority. If we had to sum up the political view of our participants in a single sentence… we couldn’t. That’s sort of the point.

If you are wondering, the first photo is showing the long line at the New Carrollton (Orange Line) train station that morning!  Were you at the rally? Please share your experience by adding a comment below. Did you watch it on TV? Even if you didn’t attend the rally you can still feel free to add a comment or ask a question. I will admit that those that watched the rally on TV saw more than most of us that were there! At least that is true as far as the on stage activities. But for those of us that were there, we have an experience we will never forget!
