Went to the rally by the State of Illinois Bldg - 100 W. Randolph in downtown Chicago. There was a large crowd that grew bigger as the rally got going. Mainstream news put the number under a thousand but at the height of the rally when US Senator Dick Durban spoke there could have been 2000 people in attendance. He gave a great speech and so did various labor leaders for across that state all pledging solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Wisconsin. I put together a video of the rally and posting Durban's speech and some of my favorite signs. No tea partiers in sight.
