It was really quite an interesting experience and a fairly diverse crowd. American Indians, Latinos, Blacks, Caucasians and all primarily identifying themselves as AMERICANS.
My brother-in-law, his brother and my son have never been active in politics and in the past hardly cared to vote but have finally had enough of the elitist, smug, wasteful people who are running things with so little regard to the desires of We the people. So, we went. It was a very peaceful and and law-abiding demonstration.
Here's a pic of my son holding a sign... of course, he had to make a funny face since I asked him to pose
If you can't read the small print it says "Brainwashing of America's children to begin 9/8/2009" followed by a quote from Adolph Hitler that says something like he who controls the children owns the future... I probably have misquoted it. It is to protest the President's planned communications with the school children of America (bypassing the parents).
After seeing the "I Pledge" video that was shown at some schools (which smacks of brainwashing) I'm pretty scared by this planned discussion.
