Glenn Beck’s controversial, yet popular “Restoring Honor” rally will be held tomorrow at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. It happens to be in the exact spot and on the exact date as Martin Luther King’s “I had a dream,” speech. The rally is produced by the Fox News host Glenn Beck and it’s purpose is to show support of the First Amendment and Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Civil rights leaders across the nation are looking down upon Beck’s rally, because of the historical significance of the date. Democrats are using the rally as ammunition against the Republicans and Tea Partiers, saying that they are trying to overshadow the Historic Day when King made his famous speech.
Several politicians as well as celebrities will be present. Sarah Palin, the former nominee for Vice President will be in attendance and speak at the rally. Baseball manager Tony La Russa, and all star first baseman Albert Pujols will also attend. Estimations of the number of people who will show up at the Beck’s rally have been all over the place, with numbers being thrown around by political commentators from 20,000 all the way to 500,000. The National Park Service estimates about 100,000 people will be in attendance, while homeland Security said they are preparing for 100,000 – 200,000 individuals.
