I attended part of the nationwide event of the TEA Party in Louisville. The media were predicting no more than 200 would show up. They then incorrectly reported the number that did show at 1000. It was much closer to 2100! America is waking up... I hope.
All shot with the Nikon. I stood in a rather large group about 50-55 feet away whilst taking the shots of some of the speakers. All hand-held (I forgot my monopod) and the P-90 is close to racked out. Have a look:

Muchos gracias, Jeanne Lee!
Well Done!
Yes, Gary - well done! The only thing was that the pics were very, very dark, and I couldn't make out a lot of detail. Is there some way of solving this? I have a MAC with dialup, and I don't know whether that has any bearing, but it's just the facts.
I guess our govt. doesn't mind spending wildly as long as it's our money they're spending. The only things is, it they are going to spend less, we've got to be willing to have some of our pet things cut out or reduced.

Thanks for your comments, Al. The darkness is because it was VERY overcast here yesterday... on the verge of rain. Mercifully, it held off until it was over.
Things cut out? You mean like the things we pay for and don't use? Like welfare? Like the bribe money we pay foreign governments that then turn around and stab us in the back (AKA - foreign aid)? You mean the study of the effect of ultrasonic waves on field mice? To name a minuscule few. Yeah, I think I can cut back on those things.
Until yesterday, Al, I thought "liberal" and "libertarian" were one in the same. It took an atheist to teach me the difference. It took a long-corrupt government to bring me to the point of demonstrating against them. After 21 years in the service, I think I earned the right. BTW, I'm now a Libertarian.
