As Scott Walker was inaugurated into the Wisconsin Governor's seat protesters concerned about his jobs and social agenda swarmed outside making their voices heard to those entering the Capitol. After a rally on the State Street side of the building the protesters marched to Martin Luther King, Jr Blvd. side to greet Walker as he arrived from a prayer breakfast at the Monona Terrace. A police officer informed the protesters that Walker would be escorted in through a different entrance so he could avoid the mob. At this point the group split up into about half a dozen small protests and fanned out around the Capitol building in order to have their voices heard at all of the entrances. Below is a collection of signs and faces from the Inauguration protest.
