2. Any other DUers go to this?

I was not able to stay that long, as I ended up having to run home and bring some things to my better half who is in the hospital. What I saw though was interesting - the Teabaggers were seriously outnumbered and the BPD had to separate them from the rest of us. I just wish it had lasted longer. Did the Governor ever come out to talk to the crowd?

“I’m here to deliver one very simple message, which is we don’t need to attack public sector workers to make change for the people of the Commonwealth,” Patrick said as he looked out on a sea of workers who spilled onto Beacon Street, cheering, waving signs and blocking traffic.
