The highlight for me was the Escalade with the fake dog on top and all the Rmoney donors all over it like Nascar. Move on was there, Action United, Pittsburgh One, a whole bunch of (mostly) women with pink shirts from Planned Parenthood: "We Vote." The main chant was "Hey Mitt, come out! We got some stuff to talk about," but other topics beside the tax returns were addressed. Near the end one of the Pgh1 guys had a pair of his shoes which were 3 years old and he and another man crossed the street and tried to go in. They wanted to ask Mitt to walk in their shoes. Of course the fascists dicks who are the Duquesne club's doormen/security wouldn't let them, threatened to have us arrested for trespassing, then for littering (Arlo Guthrie!) when they tried to leave the shoes on the steps. We were respectful, peaceful, but loud protesters and tried to keep from blocking the sidewalk. There were 8 people on the fringe who were anti-Obama with signs saying "Stop the war on coal, fire Obama." Some union person went over to talk to them, I heard later. Lots of media were there, but I'm sure most of it ended up on the cutting room floor.
