Just got back from the Kill The Bill Rally at the State capitol. I went with 3 others and we all had a blast. Estimated 4,000+. Weather was mild. 4 or 5 speakers had everyone shouting KILL THE BILL repeatedly throughout. Michelle Bachman really laid into the liberals crooked politics of slime going on in DC and she implored everyone to make calls and write letters. Great crowd. Lots of great signs. Saw a great dane in a really mice sweater but couldn't get the camera out in time.Here's the rest.

Be nice to me I'm on your death panel
Fedzilla was my sign
Lots of Gadsdens
Protest pig
If you noticed that right as Michelle was about to speak there were about 4 State Troopers who came down to the front center and escorted a couple of jokers away, here they are:
The guy with the "cougar hunters for Palin" shirt on was obviously intoxicated and shouting crude sexual related things to the speakers. He lit a smoke and then when an older lady behind him told him he was being a jerk, he had a few fowl words for her and made a threatening gesture. The lady's husband (assumed) was about to do a little regulating when the troopers stepped in and saved the drunk's life.
The guy in the blue shirt and tie standing next to him was provoking the audience as well but he was far less obnoxious.
That death panel sign was my favorite!
It was hard for me to judge the crowd size from where I was standing but I will agree with your 4K+ number. Channel 4 had a camera crew up front and was interviewing a few people so it will maybe make the news tonight.
Thanks for posting the pictures. Love the pot-bellied pig. I, of course, forgot my camera as I always do.
Great sign! Did you win the TV, or hear which sign won? We scooted out pretty quick at the end to defrost at the Wild Onion. :)
