Montville Mayor and Chuck Pennacchio supporter Connie Guy took the stage and gave a wonderful speech about changing America, getting Sen. Man on Dog out and voting in Sen. Pennacchio.
Editor and Publisher of OpEdNews.com Rob Kall got up to speak to the crowd. The same man behind the PA Zogby poll which broke ground as the first poll commissioned by a progressive organization about a Senate race. Kall spoke of change as well and backed it up with the stats from the Zogby/OpEdNews poll; when voters know the stances on the issues, Pennacchio comes out on top.
Just about everyone there had on a button, but this guy's flat brim old-schoolie with "Outsource Santorum" bumper sticker stuck onto the front was a nice creative twist.
Chuck closed out the rally and got the crowd riled up with a call for us citizens to take back our country. He noted that he didn't want to get too hyped up just yet so that he could save his energy for the long debate which was to start only thirty minutes later. I haven't seen him run out of energy yet. It's quite amazing being this close to a candidate and to the heat of the campaign to see him day in and day out heading to event after event after event just about every day now. This marked his 297th event on the campaign trail since the 2004 election. Number 296 was yesterday morning as he accepted the endorsement of the grassroots organization Neighborhood Networks at a press conference in Rittenhouse Square.

Wow, you're so involved with this. It must be so cool to work so closely with a candidate. Keep up the good work!
