Some of my Favorite May Day Rally Photos

Young and old made the journey from the City County Building up State Street to the Capitol. Those of us with youth may have taken longer to get up that hill... but we made the trek none the less and for that we are all stronger because we did this together!

One of my gorgeous gals enjoying a few moments of childhood fun before the long march up to the Capitol building. I must say I am truly proud of them both for making the trek with very few complaints, and a TON of smiles. They were real troopers.

The above picture, when the Black Bloc made their presence known coming around the corner beating their drums and waving their flags. This was a very powerful moment, one where the energy was lifted beyond my expectations.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control.
