Wonderful pictures, thanks for sharing!! The ones of the girls are very emotive and the crowd seems very civilized. Is there any way to make these pics go viral?

10. The make up of the crowd is refreshing: Clean-cut, well mannered, and look smart
in contrast to the red neck style republican riots.

27. That's Utah for you. The LDS (Mormon) Church may be dirty, but not the people

Nice, educated, and one day they will be democratic, I guarantee it 100%

28. The dark haired guy in the red shirt and black backpack, right of center
is my old freind Daniel Stallivierre. He use to work for me in Salt Lake. I knew he was a little progressive for an LDS member, but its encouraging and inspiring to see him there!

11. These must be fakes. It seems like lots of people are actually supporting HC reform. That can't be.

16. "Fox News - You Lie"
So simple, so appropriate.

And the best thing is that Fox can't argue against it - the evidence is overwhelming!

17. Funny how our "fair and balanced" media ignores the other side.
Just as they ignored the millions of people protesting Bush's war policies, but cover rallies with dozens of teabagges.

22. About a thousandish.
Not a huge rally by any means, but it was still good and peaceful.

29. Sorry for being so snarky, but is it my imagination, or is this crowd less
old, fat, white(uh, oh, maybe not so much), healthy-looking and beetle-browed? The opposition seems like it consists of doughy, waddling, red-faced, inbred-looking granparents that would yell at you for standing on the sidewalk in front of their house. The folks in these pictures look like they have health insurance and want everyone to have it, while the other side looks like they either don't have it and don't want it or like they don't know that their Medicare is government run. Like I said, excuse me for being sarcastic.

38. Drunken Irishman, who organized this rally?
If they have another one, I'd like to be there. I live in Emery County, but I'd go to SLC for a health care rally like that.
