Just to let you know i was there at 6am and held a position along the barriers / rails for my friends the Edwards supporters.
Yes i support Obama. However, i know we both have a strong connection to work together.
The "spirits above" blessed those who were honest and stayed legal.
I arrived at 6am yesterday morning. I was prepared to sleep in my car if i had too. I had my signs and banners staked out between 3 trees along chestnut street. At about 11am a few biden supporters arrived. Then at 12 noon a lone edwards supporter arrived. He stood there wondering where his supporters were. I introduced myself to him. He came from chaple hill NC. We spoke and i told him i would set aside a place for his supporters. Then at 12.30 the clinton people came with giant 2x4's and giant illegal signs. The drexel campaus leader spoke to them about their illegal structures. Somehow they were able to say they could leave them if they stayed up againts the wall. Well they eventually brought them out to the front. They also broke rules about having bull horns. The Biden people also had signs on sticks that were 8ft long and against the rules.
Time went by and eventually i saw an Edwards supporter i knew from BerksForEdwards of Pa. We both talked and we agreed that we need to work together. He and his group were very very grateful for my help in saving them a Prime rally location.
I did allow a small section for Gravel supporters abd eventually that area was filled with locals against casinos in phila.
It was wonderful how these honest responsible people came together to build unity and hope.
Later that evening a group of free the jena 6 supporters came behind the Obama supporters and we all chanted
FREE THE JENA 6 - FREE THE JENA 6 - FREE THE JENA 6.
Then the Edwards people and the Obama people and the Biden people held a united chant. END THE WAR END THE WAR END THE WAR which went on for a while. It was so inspirting and progressive.
Lastly the group ""ACT UP"" CAME MARCHING DOWN THE STREET 500 STRONG.
They had over 500 supporters dressed in goulish costumes CONDEMING HILLARY CLINTONS HEALTH PLAN. I did see a few signs condemning Biden as well but over 100 signs were against Hillarys health care plan.
So those who stayed honest. = "Obama and Edwards supporters" came shinning through and had no negative signs against them by the ACT UP GROUP.
So the moral of the story is HONESTY AND TRUTH DOES WIN OUT.
The end became and "hour of misery for Hillary supporters" who had a group of "Mayor Streets gang" helping her. The soon to be ex, black Mayor street, is an evil man and will soon be out and replaced by a Good man of color Michael Nutter = http://www.nutter2007.com
Some of Streets people said they were forced to come out in support of Hillary, even though they didn't want too. The ACT UP people put misery in their eyes as they saw 4 times as many good and honest people of all races going against, what had seemed like a positive rally (in hillary supporters eyes) even though the hillary supporters were wayyyyyyyy down the end of the street, due to my showing up early and covering the best location and sharing it with those, who i believe also want change. Those are US, the Edwards supporters and Obama supporters.
Remember we need to work together.
NOTE: I was also at the NH debates and i also did the same there and John Edwards yelled out to me a big thank you.
EDWARDS AND OBAMA SUPPORTERS UNITE
THE PEOPLE UNITED WILL NEVER BE DIVIDED
