Washington D.C.
This is not Nazi America, ... or is it?

Note: In Washington D.C. there is very little parking. It is easier to get there by train, bus, or taxi. The food is expensive. The Museums are free.

If you go there with a protest purpose like I did, it is legal as long as you remain on public sidewalks. If you want to enter any Government buildings make sure you have a shirt that doesn't reflect your argument.

The first day I only had a T-shirt and sweatshirt on and both had my cartoon on it. The guards refused to let me go in the Senate and House building without a different shirt. After I wore a shirt underneath and took my sweatshirt off everytime before I entered the building.

My Accomplishments

I walked the halls of all six Congress buildings on several different floors. I contacted and left information at many offices. I concentrated on the Congressmen/Congresswomen of Minnesota and Wisconsin and the committees that might be in charge of my case. Many other States received my information too.

I was impressed with the vast number of guards and rifle armed policemen that I saw. I didn't keep my D.C. purpose from them and handed them my cards the same as any other sightseer. One policeman even asked me for my ID, Driver's License and my S.S. number. I was eager to give it.

Another facinating thing I saw was the many  surveillance cameras everywhere. For each camera I did see, I think there would be at least a dozen that I didn't see. You can't scratch yourself in public without being watched in D.C.

The following Card I eagerly gave to everyone that would take it during the entire trip.
