TheBlueHighwayman says: Photos from Saturday's Protest in Washington DC

(This is an update to a mistake I made in the first post)

The weather was beautiful for Saturday's event in Washington DC. People of all ages from around the nation converged on the capitol to express their opinion about the latest troop buildup in Iraq. I spent the day walking around snapping photos of the crowd. This wasn't a parade of Communist Freaks! These were average American families peacefully demonstrating to let the Congress know they voted for change last November. The real freaks are in the White House!

The coming week should be very interesting. Will Congress at last have the courage to stand up to Bush and Cheney? Especially Cheney after that pshychotic episode he had on CNN. Imagine he actually said Congress can do whatever, he intends to proceed as planned in Iraq! Meaning he couldn't care less if Congress cuts the funds for the Iraq war or anything else. We now have a Monarchy!

They came by the tens of thousands but to Bush they were just another 'focus group!'

The Shot above is from atop of the Washington Monument at 1:42P about half the crowd was in line to march and they can't be seen in this photo. Below are Photos of the March as it came down Independence Ave after rounding the Capitol. There are also shots of people in the Mall area.

There were a few characters around!

Of course our local security force was there!
