WASHINGTON - Thousands of people have already poured into Washington, D.C. for a Saturday rally organized by conservative radio and television commentator Glenn Beck.

Beck has consistently held the Restoring Honor event will be non-political in nature. Speeches will honor American heroes, said Beck, who asked his supporters to not bring signs or wear partisan t-shirts.

Why have people come from many different states? John Seeland of Stuart, Florida, had an answer: "I would say we're going a little bit too much toward Socialism in the country. Too much kind of groupthink and too much away from individual freedom and individual actions and individual responsibility."

Although camping is illegal on the National Mall, hundreds of people are choosing to spend the night on the grassy lawn of the Mall on both sides of the Reflecting Pool. They are doing that to get a better view on Saturday. Police say, as long as people remain awake, they may stay.
