Taxpayer March 3/20 - Part 1

I attended what I could of yesterday's rally.  I got on Shady Grove metro (red line) for the worst ride of my life.  It was stop and go (mostly stop) in Montgomery County - taking over 1.5 hours to get to Union Station (others with whom I talked at the rally had similar experiences).  I arrived at the Capitol at 1:45. 

Bear in mind as you watch these videos that most folks had less than 48 hours notice; yet the crowds still turned out.  When I took these clips at my late arrival, doubtless many people had already left.  In a later part, I'll show you some of the posters that were carried, displaying a depth of understanding of the issues that must cause no small amount of consternation to the Messiah Most Miserable and his puppets.   Here's what I saw as I approached.



The crowd was quite enthusiastic.  One man led an impromptu chant of "kill the bill" (you'll hear that chant frequently).



Here you'll see some folks and signs just after the last person ended (I missed most of the speeches).



After that, some marchers attempted to get into the Rayburn building to meet with their representatives.  They couldn't.  You'll see that drama in the next posting.
