The local news here is dominated by the huge rally organized in opposition to House bill H.R. 4437, legislation touted by its supporters as a "get tough" measure against illegal immigration. Of those at the rally who know of it, their legislation of choice is a quasi-amnesty bill sponsored by Senators John McCain and Edward Kennedy.
Drudge mentioned the rally on his site. The estimate on the number of people at the rally vary, but 100,000 is what the Chicago Police said, and that's what I'll go with here.
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Governor Rod Blagojevich, and Senator Dick Durbin were among the politicians in attendance.
As was "The Bald Chick" from Freedom Folks. She took that picture, and reported on Friday's events in an eloquent fashion. She's got more pics, too.
Hey, did you know that the World Can't Wait (Drive out the Bush Regime) people were there, too. Surprised? You shouldn't be.
