On the Road: Protest Pictures

Since I know you all love taking pictures, I wanted to share a few of the photos I took in Madison, Wisconsin where workers were protesting a bill that would eliminate collective bargaining for many government employees.  Schools were closed after so many teachers called in sick that the district decided to let students stay home.  Many of those students showed up at the rally.  Some reports suggest up to 30,000 people attended the rally.  My goal was not political, rather to document a moment in American history.
