The first amendment to the constitution in the Bill of Rights states very clearly the rights of American citizens. It has always stood as our first and most guiding principle.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
On Sunday August 24th, 2008, anti-war demonstrators gathered in various parts of Denver to protest the war.
Several small groups converged from different parts of the city at the State Capitol building in Denver to hear speeches, listen to some hip hop and provide a loyal opposition to the status quo.
The following pictures were sent to me by my photographer friend, Paul Winner. All images are his copyrighted materials. He gave me permission to post a few of the amazing images he shot that were missed by the main stream media.
I've known these kids since they were little. What a cool shot!
George W. Bush, John McCain and the Republican Party would push the notion that there's nothing for "The Left" to be angry about. I am more concerned about the "The Angry Right" or the Milquetoast Middle.
It's great to witness the activism and idealism of the many young people who are concerned about the future of our country.
Kudos to the Denver metro area police departments for their collective restraint. A little protest never hurt anyone.
You know what they say: 20 pictures are worth 20,000 words. Enjoy.
