Hi Everyone: I know things are a bit politically charged in the U.S.
right
now given the labor issue, and I'm sure most of you know by now, I'm pro
labor. I just wanted to say I'm not pushing my political views on anyone
here, so I hope no one will be offended. From a pure photographic
standpoint, I am rather proud of the two photos I posted to my PAW blog
this
week. Frankly, I'm amazed I was able to get any pictures taken, since I
was
constantly alternating between being demonstrator then photographer--and
in
the end, mostly demonstrator. If anyone is interested, there's a link
below the second picture to a more comprehensive gallery of the day's
events. Cheers, Christine from Chicago, Local 1600 :-)

Yes apparently if you serve in the Senate in Wisconsin you need a good
excuse medical or compassionate, (Death in the family, that sort of
thing), to be absent while while in session. According to the LA Times
it''s rule 15. Rule 84 allows the members present to secure a quorum.
The absent members can be compelled to appear. Since it's up to the
Sargent at Arms of that body to enforce that rule, I would assume by
force if necessary.
Excellent.
What with the situation in Libya and the Christchurch earthquake, the
demonstrations in the US haven't received a lot of coverage here - at
least on the few news broadcasts I watch these days. I did some
googling to inform myself a bit more - one bizarre thing I found was
that Wisconsin democrats have apparently gone interstate to avoid being
brought to the state legislature by the State police. The report I read
says "The Republican controlled Senate dispatched the state troopers to
find the Democrats, but they were unsuccessful. A group of them have
opted to stay in a hotel just on the other side of the state line in
Illinois."
Is that real?
Anyway - two excellent documentary images.
Cheers
Brian
