Finally we arrived at Capitol Hill. It was amazing!!! Tens of thousands of people united under one cause…to preserve our right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness! Tens of thousands of people united to preserve our country’s sacred document, the Constitution. We met so many people and shook so many hands. It was incredible!
Some of my favorite parts were when we all stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the national anthem. Outside, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance.
There were many speakers; Minority Leader John Boehner, Republican Whip Eric Cantor and Conference Chairman Mike Pence, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, actor Jon Voigt and Mark Levin, all spoke. And of course, Michelle Bachmann, the mastermind of the protest, and a Republican congresswoman
Below are pictures of just some of the crowd.

Me with some of the 'crowd' and the Capitol Building in the back ground.

These pictures don't even begin to show the multitude that was on Capitol Hill.
