Protest pictures in Bloomingdale, IL, outside Rep Roskam's office (pic heavy)
This was in Dupage, County, IL, where Tammy Duckworth lost last November to Peter Roskam in the IL 6th.

We gathered in park for a few speeches from former Congressional Candidate Christine Cegelis, a man who lost his grandson in Iraq, and others.

1. some crowd shots
I would guess a couple hundred showed up and at least one local news van was there.

4. We then demonstrated on the street outside Roskams office for an hour
I held "N" in a series of signs that spelled "BRING THE TROOPS HOME"

14. Nice shots, LSK...
I love seeing all these ordinary people out protesting, and isn't it great when you get support from the people driving by? I think we've really turned a corner.

Good job.
