\"3rally\" Thousands of concerned Americans gathered on the National Mall Saturday to rally under the banner of \u201cjobs, justice and education.\u201d The rally, “One Nation Working Together,” represented an affirmation of American values, and an antidote to the ugly rhetoric of the Tea Party.<\/p>\n

The One Nation Working Together rally included hundreds of groups representing all Americans, including Latinos, blacks, senior citizens, students, educators, members of the GLBT community, as well as social, labor and environmental activists<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

…The One Nation Working Together rally created a show of force that rivals and surpasses the conservative tea party movement, a force for goodness and light<\/strong>, a force that must combat the evil and darkness of the Tea Party.<\/p>\n
