Despite the astounding figure of 98% reported by Governor Raimondo's office of Rhode Islanders in opposition to moving the PawSox out of Pawtucket and in opposition to building a new stadium in Providence supported with tax-payer money,
Despite 13,000 petition signatures being delivered to the Governor's Office, Speaker of the House's Office and the Senate President's Office in opposition to moving the PawSox out of Pawtucket and in opposition to building a new stadium in Providence,
We feel it is very unfortunate but very necessary to hold a rally at the Rhode Island State House in opposition to moving the PawSox out of Pawtucket and in opposition to building a new stadium in Providence.
This rally is being held to make it perfectly clear to our elected leaders that a very strong majority of Rhode Islanders are IN OPPOSITION to moving the PawSox out of Pawtucket and in opposition to building a new stadium in Providence. We wish to leave our elected officials no excuse, no wiggle room and absolutely no way out of the decision that they may make concerning this issue!
We have speakers lined up from every point across the political spectrum in Rhode Island – from Tea Party Republicans to Progressive Democrats! It will be quite a rally! We hope you can join us!
The rally will be held on Thursday the 25th of June at 5:00 at the Rhode Island State House. You can join the event on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/417186085132369/
