1. I haven't heard anything about this.

Is this brand new news?

This is a big deal.

3. Patrick is losing popularity fast.

His scholarships for illegal aliens thing has Mass in an uproar!

7. I like Governor Patrick just fine, thank you very much

After 4 years of Romney, and 16 straight years of rethug governors, Deval Patrick is a breath of fresh air.

9. Um, many of us don't approve of that term here

Regardless of one's position on immigration, calling human beings "illegal aliens" is offensive.

4. Cool. Take some pictures for us, Rox.

You must be fired up!

11. JK will be there.

If you get to talk to him, tell him we said hey!

:hi:

12. I'll try, but with the size of the place and the security, I doubt I can get close enough

Additionally, I may have a disabled friend with me (who is still undecided between Obama and Hillary), so mobility may be an issue. Despite this, I am really looking forward to the event. :bounce:

5. How big is this place?

[rox63]

6. It's pretty big - they hold conventions there

It's right across from the new Convention Center in South Boston.

Correction - I'm not sure how big the Commonwealth Hall area of the facility is. I hadn't noticed at first that it was in a specific hall at the trade center.

8. Just sent to my daughter in Boston.......

She was phone banking for Obama yesterday. Thanks! :hi:

14. Help out with Mass Ave. Visibility before the Rally?

Hey-- Just wanted to give you all a heads up that there's going to be a massive Obama visibility event before the rally, hopefully covering the entire length of the Mass. Ave bridge from Boston to Cambridge with volunteers. Signs will be distributed. The event runs from 3:30-5:30pm. Come anytime. Should be really fun. :)
