Less than two dozen people have shown up for a government shutdown protest Tuesday sponsored by President Obama's dark money group Organizing for Action, according to Politico's Reid Epstein.
The protest, held on the Capitol steps, is part of the organization's "Budget shutdown Day of Action." According to Epstein, the event has been sparsely attended, with just 23 attendees. The Washington Examiner's Charlie Spiering reported 16 attendees a half-hour into the event.

Epstein described the protest in a report Monday as OFA's "first attempt to stage a large rally at the Capitol."
In August, not one person showed up to a climate change rally the group sponsored.
