Thanks Tim for the update. So far very energetic and civil as the whole country watches this unfold. Today the Tea Party makes their appearance as they communicate their viewpoint as well. I am hoping that civility can still be maintained with this added dynamic amid all the passion.

Tea Party came and everything remained civilized. I got there around 3 or 4 (late, I know) and there were maybe 40 Tea Partiers left. Though, I heard there were more (like 5-7 to 1), but I guess they had to get back to the home before dark or something.
Highlight:
The sight inside the capitol building chock full of drumming, bagpiping, chanting protesters was amazing. They were very passionate, but peaceful. I was seriously proud to be a Wisconsinite.

I was there on Friday. Going back on Tuesday, hopefully. I am such a geek for democracy in action.

The thing I really like about people that love photography as much as I do is that I can disagree with them politically but still like them no matter what. What we witnessed and documemented with our cameras is going to be important, no matter which side we are on. The stuff going on here is going to have repurcussions on a national scale. I am glad I took the day off of work to see it with my own eyes.

Jim Wend here. I went down on Friday also. I was interested in the process and the number of protesters who brought kids to see, in the words of some, what democracy looks like. (I'm mad about the damn train also!)
