On April 1, thousands rallied at the State House in Columbia to urge Gov. Mark Sanford to accept the stimulus money for South Carolina. The rally was organized by the SC Progressive Network<\/a>. Here are some links to videos, photos and a sampling of news clips of the event.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who turned out to make the rally such a huge success!<\/p>\n

Sorry this is so late in coming, but the Network’s web site, and this blog, were hacked twice in a week, and it has taken us some time to fix the problem. Funny that we were hacked just as news of this event was making headlines here and nationally. Whether coincidence or not, the timing could not have been worse. Just when traffic was at its peak, those tuning in to our site were greeted with what amounts to digital graffiti that included threats and expletives. We regret any confusion or offense it may have caused.<\/p>\n
