Rally for Senator John Kerry, September 2004

Over Labor Day weekend I attended an event supporting John Kerry's candidacy for president of the United States. Thousands of people showed up at Akron's Firestone Stadium to hear Senator Kerry speak. A friend and I dropped in and snapped some pictures, though it was tough to get any shots with so many people crammed into one space. I was thrilled to get so close to the Senator, and am even happier to share these few pictures.
