5000 at May 3 Rally for A Responsible Budget in Harrisburg
Edited on Sun May-08-11 11:28 AM by femmocrat
Reporters called it one of the largest rallies in Harrisburg in the past decade. The Patriot News wrote: “Imagine a crowd so large the front steps of the state Capitol aren't large enough to hold everyone… Imagine a state budget so unpopular that standing outside on a hot spring day for well over an hour isn't enough to send them off in search of a cold drink.”

Speeches, songs, and chants of “We Are One!” “Save Our Schools!” “USA!” and others echoed throughout the Capitol, as the crowd of almost 5,000 Pennsylvanians – including nearly 1,000 PSEA members . . . converged on the Capitol steps in Harrisburg on May 3 for the CLEAR Coalition’s Rally for a Responsible Budget.
