The revolution may or may not be televised, but it will be streamed live online.
Operation American Spring is scheduled to kick off Friday in Washington, D.C., and an affiliated group posted a live stream online.
However, the feed showed only a call-in show hosted by conservative broadcaster Mark Connors, who said he was broadcasting from a tour bus about 10 miles away from the National Mall because he could not park any closer.
No verified photos or videos had been posted from the event, which organizers claim would draw between 10 million and 30 million people, by 10 a.m. EST.
Connors spoke with the organization’s leader, retired Col. Harry Riley, about 9:30 a.m. and asked about rumors that the Federal Emergency Management Administration rounding up participants.
“If FEMA does try to round you up, how will you defend yourself?” Connors asked. “With a piece of paper? With a flag?”
Riley said participants would not carry firearms to the event, but he said they were prepared to defend themselves.
A caller from North Carolina said he feared Obama would declare martial law and begin executing Christian citizens as a prelude to civil war.
Well according to Twitter the only thing that showed up in great abundance was paranoia.
While there are as of yet no official photos of the "event," take a look at some of the tweets courtesy of #American Spring.

the main problem for low attendance of the #AmericanSpring movement is the fact this is meth-cookin' season

#AmericanSpring I saw bigger crowds when the new Dunkin Donuts opened a few weeks ago.

Turns out the #AmericanSpring people recommended using Apple Maps. They're all protesting in a flooded cornfield somewhere in Iowa.

Oh god, that is so damn funny!Just in case you think these people are exaggerating the low turnout here is a little video of the "massive" crowd.
You know these people are so pathetic that I almost feel badly for mocking them.
Almost.
Update: Here is a picture of the whole crowd courtesy of the Operation American Spring Failure Facebook page:
Actually I am surprised that many showed up.
