Opening Session Lively
Many protesters present for the opening session. There was a good sized group concerned with healthcare and many of them wanted my "MARRIAGE EQUALITY" stickers. Good thing I made a bunch last night.
The Welfare Rights group was there as well, and they were all over the Capitol. First they were outside, then marching in the rotunda and wound up in front of the House chambers, forming a gauntlet for legislators to pass through... and were they loud. They were organized and rehersed and it was impressive. I joined in some of their chants.
I spoke with lobbyist, Dave Engstrom, about Project 515, the organization that is trying to erase statutory inequities between same and opposite sex couples. He says it is being well received by legislators.
I'll try to have some pictures up soon.
