Peace Rally in downtown Salt Lake City on 5/28/08 during Bush's GOP campaign fundraising visit. Speakers included former mayor Rocky Anderson, Daniel Ellsberg (from the famous Pentagon Papers that helped end Vietnam), Marshall Thompson, an Iraq veteran and peace activist who walked the entire state of Utah calling for withdrawal from Iraq, and Kathy Snyder, a mother of a serviceman killed in the war. The 5:30 p.m. public protest took place at Washington Square - the grounds surrounding City Hall.

A cold winter evening on the Park City Rail Trail looking towards Old Town and Park City Mountain Resort. It's nice to know that this is outside my back door and that I'm so lucky to live here!
