Twit Pics from the Capitol
11 DecLansing is in the national spotlight lately with the right-to-work legislation debate. This morning the State Police estimated that the current crowd on the Capitol lawn is more than 10,000 protestors strong and growing rapidly. Activity on Twitter is equally alive; #savemi, #righttowork, “Capitol” and “Michigan” have been or still are current trending topics so far today. With the protests comes the media frenzy– helicopters are circling overhead, reporters are tweeting, and photographers are going to extremes to get the perfect shot. We’ve been following the #righttowork movement on Twitter and want to share a couple of our favorite Twit Pics thus far.
