3. Thank you! The best ones, IMO, are the "close" shots -- I want to see WHO attended

the big events, not just the shots that illustrate that it was a big event.

:applause:

5. The last shot is very powerful.

A woman in the crowd is holding up a folded flag, what they give to families when a soldier dies.

6. The courthouse in the background is very important...

I believe I read on Kos that it's where the Dred Scott decision was passed down.

Great pics. Thanks for the link.

8. Photo 4 showing the arch reminds me of the Obama logo,

it looks so hopeful.

Photo 20, showing someone holding up a memorial flag (folded into a triangle) is poignant.

9. Wow!

Great pics! I wonder if there are pics online of the Kansas City rally I was at Saturday? Anyone know?

10. Thanks

Longtime lurker but had to sign up to thank you for these - I was at the rally and had been looking for a clear picture of me there. Leave it to the Italian press to help me out!

12. Guess that shoots down the Freeper's claim the pics were faked.

Then again, maybe not. They are furriners after all.

13. It is the final scene from "V for Vendetta" -- except that it is real.
