I Love Protests
I have to admit, I love protests. Photographically it is a target rich environment. So even though today was cold and rainy, I had something to look forward too. With all of the politics about the budget in the news recently, about 200 Tea Party protesters gathered near the U.S. Capitol for a rally to [...]
Tea Party Rally for Christine O’Donnell
I traveled to Wilmington, Delaware on Sunday to cover what as hopefully to be a rally for the Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate, Christine O’Donnell with Sarah Palin leading the show. Turns out the “rumors” were untrue and Palin was a no-show. An event that started looking like a nice rally with good access, turned [...]

Marching Against “Tyranny”
I spent the last two days covering the Tea Party marches and protest rallies in Washington, D.C. The Saturday consisted of a 9-11 memorial service on the National Mall followed by a march down Constitution Avenue and then a rally back at the site of the memorial service. In between all of that, I covered [...]
Sometimes All You Have to do is Wait
I had some time to kill before an assignment near the White House and decided to swing by and see if there might be some sort of protest. There always seems to be someone there protesting something. I was disappointed to see nothing was happening so I headed across Pennsylvania Ave. to Lafayette Park looking [...]
Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally
On the 47th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, radio host Glenn Beck kicked off his “Restoring Honor” rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washinton, D.C. The event, which Beck called a non-partisan event, featured Sarah Palin.
PRIDE
Saturday after the viewing of the World Cup Soccer matches on Dupont Circle (See post in On Assignment), I stayed in the city for the annual parade that is held during the Capitol Pride Festival. This was interesting and a lot of fun. Thousands of spectators lined the parade route that marched up P street [...]
A Tea Party on Tax Day
The Tea Party Express rolled into Washington, D.C. for a rally on Tax Day. I should begin by saying that most of the gathering was civil, polite and having a good time. It is valuable to have a dialog in this country coming from all sides of an issue. Intelligent and constructive dialog is the [...]
Marching on “Imperialism”
On the seventh anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, protestors marched from Lafayette Park across from the White House through downtown Washington D.C., Saturday carrying flag-draped cardboard coffins and signs calling for thto end to all wars and to “Indict Bush Now.” More images from the demonstration including the Arlington Midwest exhibit on the National [...]
Tea Party Marches On
There is always something going on in D.C. and today was no exception. The Tea Party movement was marching and the circus came to town. One might argue that they are one and the same. Tea Party activists rallied on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to protest the health care bill and demand meetings [...]
Tea Party March on the Capitol
Activists from the conservative advocacy group The Tea Party Express marched to the U.S. Capitol Saturday to protest health care reform, higher taxes and what they see as out-of-control government spending. The group began its tour in Sacramento, California, making its way across the country, hosting rallies in about 30 cities. Washington is the final [...]
