stormdogAs I was on my way to the Library of Congress today, I passed by a protest in progress outside the Cannon office building. I didn't know what was going on at the time, but it was clear that they were protesting a health care bill from the right-leaning side of things.
I found the story on the CBS news site; looks like they were protesting in front of Nancy Pelosi's office inside the building. Several of them were arrested on various charges, and as I stood outside the building, the police would occasionally walk out leading someone in those zip-tie hand cuffs.

I have to admit it; I got a real thrill out of seeing this happen in front of me, and being there to photograph it. I've thought about attending demonstrations in Chicago with an eye toward photographing them, and having seen this today gives me more motivation to do so.

Then he took me in to DC, where I visited the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court building, and the capitol. (It was near the library that I happened upon the above-mentioned protest.) I will talk more about them in detail later one. For now, I will shower and get to bed. Tomorrow is going to be museum day for the doggy!
