Jackie Mahendra has a great blog round-up of March For America coverage on the America’s Voice blog:

Coverage in the blogosphere is still picking up after Sunday’s historic health care vote, but here’s an initial roundup of blogging on Sunday’s massive rally and march for real immigration reform.

First, check out Rachel LaBruyere’s amazing March For America liveblog, here (UPDATED LINK), complete with feedback from advocates supporting the march.

Next, Nolan Treadway, blogging at Daily Kos, provides an important media critique:

You may not have been aware such a large gathering took place if you were watching the news around the country.  It seems a couple dozen dead-ender Tea Partiers determined to thwart progress are more newsworthy than a crowd 1/3 the size of the population of DC gathering to fight for social and economic justice.

Indeed, according to Maegan Ortiz of Vivir Latino (<–click for a photo slideshow):

Depending on who you ask, between a quarter of a million people to half a million people, overwhelmingly Latinos, went to the National Mall this past Sunday in support of immigration reform in what was called the March for America.

Also taking a jab at mainstream media’s lack of coverage of the event compared to coverage of a Tea Party protest the same day, with just a fraction of the crowd, here’s the founder and publisher of Daily Kos, Markos Moulitsas (‘Kos’), in “Governing by crowd size– immigration reform wins!” Kos jokes that if we play by “the new rules of Fox News,” then “immigration reform is now the law of the land. Yay!”

Marisa Treviño of Latina Lista takes us back to the tremendous power displayed by the marchers:

But if one thing was learned in yesterday’s march, it doesn’t matter how many media cameras are present but how many marchers’ voices are raised in unison.
