Wow! What a response at the Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh! Congratulations and thanks to the more than 30 volunteers from our Coalition who participated in various activities at the parade on Labor Day.  We started near Freedom corner where flyers were distributed and then moved to the stage near Mellon Arena where we lifted our colorful Single Payer Banner as Presidential candidate John Edwards spoke to the crowd. While this group was then getting ready to participate in the march, another group of volunteers was meeting at Grant Street to distribute flyers to the spectators.  Together, we distributed over 4000 flyers and marched with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) contingent holding our Single Payer Banner banner.  Our presence and activities  were warmly received by both participants and the spectators alike. We accomplished this, not as individuals, but in a well organized fashion that showed our presence as a growing force.  Congratulations!
