Washington DC, Sunday October 7, 2013. The famous Merry Go Round on the National Mall, not moving, no kids. This is the seventh day of the government shutdown. On a normal Sunday this time of year DC is packed with tourists but today there are very few. Many of the most popular tourist attractions are closed thanks to the the Tea Party gangsters in the US House Of Representatives.
Postscript. On the 16th day of the shutdown the Senate voted 81 to 18 to raise the debt limit and reopen the Federal government. The legislation was then taken up by the House where it passed by a vote of 285 to 144 shortly after 10PM. In the early hours of Thursday, October 17 President Obama signed the bill. Furloughed workers will start returning to work today and Federal facilities will reopen. The shutdown cost our economy tens of billions of dollars, disrupted the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers and deprived many citizens of vital services.
Near the US Capitol steps, Washington DC, October 4, 2013. On the fourth day of the government shutdown activists from The American Federation Of Government Employees (AFGE), SEIU, US Action, Creedo Action and other groups and their supporters rally and march to a nearby park. My estimate of the crowd is 200. Why were they there? The Tea Party gangsters in the US House Of Representatives were finally successful at doing what they were sent here to do. Without a continuing resolution spending bill from the House over 800,000 federal wokers are unable to work, over 401 National Parks are closed, more than 3,200 children have been locked out of Head Start programs, dozens of ill children will not be able to access care at NIH until this mess is over and much, much more.

A caretaker at Leslie Early Head Start childcare, Kayla Morgan, helps two twins fall asleep for their daily afternoon nap on October 12, 2013 in Hyden, Kentucky. There are nine children, including one ten-month-old baby, that attend the daycare for free. The daycare is funded entirely by the government for children in need and is one of the many places that is threatened by the continuing government shutdown.

Washington DC, Sunday October 7, 2013. The US Capitol, home of the legislative branch of our government. This is the seventh day of the government shutdown. On a normal Sunday this time of year DC is packed with tourists but today there are very few except in front of the White House. Many of the most popular tourist attractions are closed thanks to the Tea Party gangsters in the US House Of Representatives.

I wanted to post some old photos to show people some things that belong to all of us, not just Americans but the world. These places do not belong to the politicians that we vote fore and put in power and our taxes pay for there nice cars and expensive houses. They have forgotten they represent all of us, not just the small portion who share there narrow view of what a person should think and believe in. They are putting more guards to keep the people out than they ever did keeping us and these places safe. Shame on us all for allowing this to happen.

Democrative press conference outside the Capitol, on the first day of the government shutdown. Representative Steny Hoyer speaking.
Washington DC, Lafayette Park across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, Sunday October 7, 2013. Statue of Andrew Jackson, First King Of The Rednecks, who was a bloodthirsty genocidal maniac. Jackson was a depraved murderer who went to his grave internally peppered with lead shot from his numerous duels. The civilized world suffers endlessly from his horrible legacy. The cannon should be pointed at Jackson's malevolent head, not at the so-called 'People's House' nor at his innocent horse.
This is the seventh day of the government shutdown. On a normal Sunday this time of year DC is packed with tourists but today there are very few except in front of the White House. Many of the most popular attractions and essential government operations as well are closed or otherwise disrupted thanks to the Tea Party gangsters (Jackson's spiritual and moral descendants...) in the US House Of Representatives. There should be a ring of burning tires surrounding the US Capitol tonight in protest to this outrage but that's my fantasy.

Acadia National Park
When my husband and I were in Maine in October the National Park was closed due to a government shutdown. Many people were hiking into the park on foot to enjoy this National treasure...including us! As we were sitting on the rocks watching the horizon for the sunrise a Federal Officer approached us and asked what we were doing. Camera set up on a tripod and us looking toward the horizon...it was hard not to give a smart alec response. We just said we were there to enjoy the sunrise. I thought for sure he was gonna tell us to leave But he told us to be careful and enjoy our day. :) Next hurdle to over come....just as the sun was cresting the horizon a huge cruise ship blocked the view! I had to patiently (not so much) wait for it to pass by. I thought for sure I would miss my chance to both see and capture a beautiful sunrise. I know there are better captures out there, but this amateur photographer was pretty pleased with the results!!!
Thanks for taking a look!!! I hope that you have a wonderful week ahead!!!!!

The Freer/Sackler is one of the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall in Washington, DC,closed due to the government shutdown that began December 21, 2018.
On the verge of a government shutdown for the second year in a row. All sides disagree in this one!
On December 5th 2014 the House passed a bill that blocked Obama’s tyrannical amnesty attempt! This is big news for conservatives because there is a little fight left.
