WASHINGTON - MARCH 21: Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi carries the gavel that was used when Medicare was passed while marching with Rep. John Lewis, Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer, Rep. John Larson, Rep. Chris Van Hollen and other members of the Democratic Caucus from the Cannon House Office Building to the U.S. Captiol for the health care reform vote March 21, 2010 in Washington, DC.

[Cha]

2. Thanks Jackeens~ Gorgeous Spring Day in the Capital!

And, my poor blue dog is no where to be found..hanging out with the republicons somewhere, no doubt.

3. I love the "color" in this photo......

not like the repubs, all white!!! screw the teabaggers and the repubs!!!

[Control-Z]

11. Add more women (of every color)

to the mix and I would be a very happy gal. (Not to rain on your parade. I do love the color in the photo. I'm just letting myself dream.)

15. I second that thought Control-Z

:hi: :fistbump:

[Clio the Leo]

4. And now we know why no one messed with them as they walked across the street!

Nancy had a hammer! lol "A HAMMER OF JUSTICE!"

(btw, I'm sick today Jackeens, we're counting on YOU to BRING THE PICS!!!) ;)

[Jackeens]

6. You poor thing! Ok, I'll resume duty!

:toast:

[madmax]

8. Sorry to hear that Clio

Feel better soon. :hug:

[Clio the Leo]

9. Yeah, but I got sent home from work again...

.... they found me asleep on the break room table and when they woke me up, and I started sobbing, "i'm sorry!" they said, "go home!"

Hate that I'm sick but I guess the timing was good.

10. It's a very different picture than the Republican caucus, isn't it? n/t

[wildflower]

12. Nice to see them taking each other's hands

I wish Teddy was there.

[gratefultobelib]

13. I love it!

[cilla4progress]

14. Talk about full-throated!

Arent' we DYING to know what he (name? not Rep. Lewis; the tall man behind her) said to make her laugh like that?

And HOW DARE a 69-year old grandmother wear stilletos -- I haven't been able to wear them in YEARS!

Yes...the color ... I agree - when ALL the colors of the rainbow are represented, we can report back to MLK, but this is one hell of a start! I'm so proud to be a Dem. I'm mobilized.

[monmouth]

16. John Lewis looks no worse for wear. I sent him a thank you note

for his work. Probably won't receive it 'cause I'm not a GA resident, but it was a nice note so here's hoping. I'm sure he loves hearing from pissed off white women in Florida but the conduct yesterday was beyond the pale..

[CitizenLeft]

17. I saw the short speech where Nancy announced that Lewis...

...would lead the way. I have to admit, it brought more than a tear to my eye, particularly in light of the ugliness yesterday - and of what Lewis did 50 years ago today. It was symbolic, and I for one think it's a perfect response.

PS: love the shoes, Nance!

[Phx_Dem]

18. I thought Hoyer was carrying a purse in the second pic!

I thought, "He's carrying Pelosi's purse for her! That is so sweet." LOL

[Inuca]

22. LOL!!! It sure looks like that

[Drunken Irishman]

19. And we know that gavel is to pop any racist asshole who 'pops' off.

Hammer time.
