We’re off To Washington…

Posted March 21, 2010 by Patrick Young, Esq.
Categories: Federal Immigration Policy

The staff of Long Island Wins is joining the tens of thousands of immigrant rights advocates from around the U.S. in Washington today. My bus is supposed to leave at 6:20, so I hope to be in D.C. around 11 AM. Even at 52 years old, I still enjoy the warm camaraderie of a gathering like this. Reporters tell me that if we get the sort of crowd we hope for, this will be the biggest issue-based rally of the Obama presidency to date.
