Rally on the Statehouse Steps 

Vida Urbana (City Life) (correction www.newroad.us) asks that you rally on the Massachusetts Statehouse Steps at 1 Ashburton Place today at 3:00PM EST to fight the early vote on a non-inclusive anti-foreclosure law.

UPDATE: Rally was scheduled "through the afternoon" today. The 3PM - 6PM time frame was for yesterday.

Keep on keepin' on

Well shit, it's been a while. Work work work work work, life interrupts. Besides the usual tomfoolery on twitter, I've been researching up and coming legislation nationally, as well as gathering information on upcoming changes in voter registration laws.
