There’s a great crowd gathering- I’ll have video up later!
I was in Malden for the morning kick off. It was really crowded and the energy there was wonderful. Anne Anderson who lost her son to the polluated wells in Woburn spoke about how Ed Markey listened when no one else would and it certainly moved me to support him even more stongly than I already did.
Someone must have a video from Malden.
Oh wait…
Here’s a brief bit of video and a photo slideshow from the event.
I don’t understand why that web site hasn’t been fleshed out, either.
