Waiting in line at Longworth Building


We thought about calling up to Tim Walz's office to see if they would come down and give us our tickets but it was great to stand in line. We met some great people. The woman below from Florida from Florida told us about her regreat at missing the March on Washington and was determined not to missed tomorrow. She was even inspired to run for office this last election and won. We'll post Ellen's interview with her later. It was really moving.

We also met these 2 young men from Sudan who came to the US in 1998 and just finished college and have started a business to get better water for Africa. Their web site is http://aqua-africa.net.

  1. Come on Dave...do us Minnesotans a little justice and quit dressing like a Californian in sub 50 degree weather. I mean everyone else is in sweat shirts and it looks like your scaling Everest!

    Looks like you are having a great time, keep it up.

  2. Gotta say, Dave, I think I agree with Terry there. You're looking a little all Martian Manhunter in the cold gear.

    Aah, who am I trying to kid? I'm just jealous... ;-)

    Enjoy! We're having fun following you.
