Our group of 7 left Long Island on Tuesday Night (July 19th)
Michelle stopped at the Walt Whitman Rest Stop (Jersey Turnpike) with the rest of the NAALI gang.
The sun sets on Tuesday. Wednesday morning the troops line up at the Holiday inn
Each state had a sign- which was a wonderful idea. Jake (from LI) takes a picture of ME!
Some more signs that parents made for the rally.
We start marching thru the streets of DC.
There were many banners printed up by the organizers, like this one.
There were even family members from Hawaii who attended the rally.
We stopped infront of the office building for Health and Human Services and chanted "no more lies".
There were some workers who came out to see the families and some looked out their office windows.
Here is NAA Director Jo Pike standing infront of a mother from California.
There were many children at the rally holding up signs.
This sibling wore a gymnastics metal around her neck and carried this powerful sign.
Some parents were so emotional at this point, they broke down in tears.
Here are Amy and Angela from Moms against Mercury who organized the rally (on left).
