Seeing Government

in action.  Monday Gary went up on the bus, with school district educators, to a rally at the State Capital.  I was driving Gary and Lynn up to the airport, so I joined him there and he came home with me.

There is quite a feeling when you watch the government in action.   You realize that everyone has a right to be represented and have a say.  Gary waved at our neighbor who is a Senator, and he had us come down and come on the floor and gave us a tour.  It reminded me of when we went to Washington DC, probably 25 years ago, and one of our friends from our old neighborhood was an aid to a US Senator.  He gave us a personal tour of the United States Capital.

Here is Gary giving a speech at the podium of the State Capital.  Of course the Rally was over, and he was doing it in his own mind, but it makes a great picture.
