Stewart/Colbert Rally to Restore Sanity Schedule at National Mall Here

Stewart/Colbert Rally to Restore Sanity Schedule at the National Mall is to be held Saturday, October 30th, 2010 and will be going from 12 PM to 3 PM eastern standard time, with a pre-pre show from 10 AM to 12 PM for those whom arrive early. This rally is expected to draw over 100,000 participants and is set to take place at the National Mall between 3rd Street and 7th Street in what is known as East Seaton Park and Henry Park. This much anticipated event is 72 hours prior to the mid term elections 2010 and is set to satirize the Glen Beck Tea Party rallies. Some see it as a last ditch effort by Barack Obama and the Democratic Party as a last ditch effort to remain on the political forefront as it is slowly eroding from underneath them. On the other hand, it can be seen as a last minute rally to boost morale and voter turnout for the mid term elections 2010 and re-energize the somewhat falling energy and hope of the party.

The March to Keep Fear Alive with a video of the “Sanity and Fear Awards” scheduled. They created a new website for it Here and the theme is that they are looking for people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; and those who feel that the loudest voices shouldn’t be the only ones that get heard. The Rally4Sanity and March4Fear meetups are being held in 583 cities nationwide, and can also be found on their website if you can’t attend the rally in Washington DC. There have been over 227,000 people whom have RSVP’ed to attend on their Facebook Page, although they are unsure of how many will gather at the National Mall on Saturday.
