It was a brain-child of one guy who wanted to offer a forum for fans of Thomas Jefferson to demonstrate their appreciation for the themes of liberty he illustrated time and time again. We weren’t trying to provoke anyone (though, admittedly, our dancing skills are minimal). But we were trying to use the Jefferson Memorial for the purposes to which it is dedicated: to memorialize Thomas Jefferson, and to do so on the one day such public demonstrations are permitted in the chamber — his birthday.
