There should be a large crowd. A friend of mine who is an American born Latina, just called and said her Uncle had 300 shirts made. They have the American Flag, and it says Immigrant Reform with Dignity. This would be a great event for the Candidate to come to and pass out their literature. Many people who are going are US citizens.

There was an email out that there will be Anti-Immigrant people there, and one of the right-wing radio stations has been annoucing it to try and get people to disrupt it. Well see what happens.. usually only 5-10 at the most of these type of people show up.

Hope many DU'ers show up and give their support.

It was the biggest rally I've ever attended at state capitol, and I've been to a few. Really amazing and inspiring.
