Shot of the press cameras covering the speeches |
Uncle Sam, who has had a growth spurt, is against war in Iraq |
I nearly bumped into Jesse Jackson, who was giving this interview before he spoke |
A generic shot of the crowd. Likely between 60-80,000, though claimed to be 200,000, it was nevertheless very crowded |
I saw this very happy couple near me and had to take a picture |
Susan Sarandon told us, "Dialogue is the opposite of war." |
Sarandon's speech caused the crowd to compress closer together. |
Patti Smith sang "Power to the People" |
Patti Smith also sang to the people in the trees. Most trees had people in them. |
Helicopters circled us once the numbers got very large, but there were no incidents. |
The green grass made me think of Wellstone's campaign signs, and I felt like was on a green carpet. My foot is bottom center. |
Jesse Jackson spoke after an eloquent and moving prayer for the Wellstone family |
Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark got rousing cheers. |
One of many tributes to Paul Wellstone. |
Instead of stars for the states, why not peace for us all? |

No More Blood for Oil |
Al Sharpton received lukewarm applause at first, but the crowd was his by the end |
Al Sharpton says that Bush is playing "boogeyman" with us with Iraq |

Ahead of the people in the previous picture, these masked people marched. |
"No War" was the theme of the day, as the Washington Monument pokes through the trees |
"Stand for Global Peace and Justice;" the Monument obliges |
This nasty carnivore is the BushCheneyosaur |
A young girl holds a sign that reads "No Blood for Oil" |
"Wellstone! The Legacy must live!" |
On my way home I sat under a large tree and looked up |
