Rally at the Boston Common

Several thousand people turned out on this beautiful Labor Day morning for a rally in support of health care reform. Attorney General Martha Coakley and Congressman Steve Lynch spoke. Both have taken out papers to run for the Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy. Congressmen Markey, Capuano, and Tierney and Boston mayor Menino also spoke. The rally was followed by a march down Bolyston Street to Copley Square.
