Project 365 - Day 62 - Red!

Today was the Rally to Save the American Dream which was actually a series of rallies all across the country to show support for the Wisconsin protesters and to protest proposed budget cuts that hurt state workers, teachers and union members like the one being put forth by Governor Synder here in Michigan.

The local paper here is counting about 2,000 people and that included me and my sister, standing in the snow and shouting for all we were worth. It was a very encouraging rally with lots of people speaking, including Lansing's Mayor Virg Bernero. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm not a huge fan of Virg...but he did a good job with his speech here and I was impressed with how well he handled the crowd.

With all the signs, I had a lot of pics to choose from when it came to red, but I liked this one. You can also check out the rest of my pics (and even some videos) over at my picasa album.
