My wife and I went to the rally in Hartford at the State Capitol, seen below gloriously distorted by my new super wide angle lens.
I mostly busied myself taking pictures of signs. A few choice ones below, and, if you’re interested, another page of them, complete with slideshow, at my MobileMe gallery, at this link.
These rallies, nationwide, were every bit as big, if not far bigger than the tea party rallies that have gotten so much attention, but of course these will be ignored. At the end of the day, however, we vote too, and we also get angry. Just as the Koch brother’s money and the right’s propaganda got the deluded tea partiers motivated to vote in 2010, the Koch brother’s money and the Republican party’s overreach will get us motivated in 2012. What our choices will be that year is another question. There was a teeny (maybe 5 people) tea party counter-demonstration at the Capitol. If the rally is covered at all, I assume they will get at least equal coverage, if not more.
