“Let Gary (and Jill) Debate”

This morning Libertarians gathered in Monroe Park to rally for their Presidential candidate, Gary Johnson. Part of the reason for it was to also protest his exclusion from the upcoming Presidential debates. As the rally gained steam, some of them marched around the perimeter of the park holding signs and passing out campaign literature.

There was also what I think was a “Spirit Walk” by VCU students, complete with VCU police escort.
