party's over, go home. Not this year, (big concession) our lawyers from the ACLU and a big law firm in Boston got the City of
Boston to agree, that the barriers will stay up
and the street sweepers will be behind our parade. So instead of tens of thousands seeing our parade, there may be hundreds of thousands. </span></div><div style="font-size:16px;background-color:transparent"><br></div><div style="font-size:16px;background-color:transparent">
