Yesterday's immigration rally in Des Moines had an amazing turnout - around 5,000 to 6,000 people according to the Des Moines Police Department.

I was unable to make it as I was doing a charity walk with some fraternity brothers, but I hope to have some pictures up later today from a friend who went to the rally. That friend also estimated turnout at at least 10,000, so take your pick for estimates. Gubernatorial candidate Ed Fallon was also at the event, along with his staffers passing out literature.

Definitely a good way for outreach, I'm sure. I'm just curious to know how many of those at the rally yesterday are eligible to vote. Anyway, the Register write-up of the rally is here, along with some pictures showing just how big and peaceful the rally was.
