Jason Moran of St. Paul stands as a lone sentry on the Capitol grounds with his message in hand. He has been there since Day 1 of the shutdown. The laid-off Minnesota Pollution Control Agency worker wonders why the grounds aren't filled with others in a similar position; why they aren't out protesting the shutdown. "I think people are stunned. I think they have lost hope that their government works for them." What keeps him coming back? It's hope. "The fact that I can stand out here and not get shot like I would in other countries, gives me hope," he said.
