Philadelphia has approved four demonstration permits in support of Sen. Bernie Sanders at the July Democratic National Convention — including a large rally planned near the convention’s epicenter.
One of the permits is for an event consisting of four days of all-day rallies at FDR Park in support of Mr. Sanders. The city said it expects 30,000 participants, and organizers said in an interview they hope turnout will be much higher.
The park is adjacent to the Wells Fargo Center, where many of the Democratic National Convention events will be held — raising the possibility of a large demonstration in support of Mr. Sanders just steps away from where delegates will officially select the Democratic nominee. A growing number of Democrats are concerned the convention could turn out to be divisive and disorderly due to activities planned by Sanders supporters.
The city has also granted permits to three smaller demonstrations at Thomas Paine Plaza, a few miles from the Wells Fargo Center. The city says it expects 2,000 to 3,000 participants at those events.
The events — which are being organized independent of campaign by supporters of Mr. Sanders — aim to call attention to support the Vermont Senator has received throughout the primary process and push for long-term changes in the way that the Democratic Party nominates candidates.

Hillary will take the old communist clown as VP. It will be the Mutt and Jeff of all time. We get to play all these anti-hillary rants he had on TV all the time. But it’s the only chance she has left.
“The city says it expects 2,000 to 3,000 participants at those events.”

The city will move these events farther and farther away. Remember who the mayor is.
that’s hilarious!
If only Frank Rizzo were still mayor.
Yes. Very interesting.
Democrats spawned these Marxists and now pretend to be appalled by what they see before them.
Truth of the matter is these Bernie people are Obama’s army.
They won’t be cycling over to Hillary in any great numbers. because they all know she is a battle axe and a despot, and that Obama can not stand Hillary.
Wow.
Start silk screening your Bernie t-shirts, Fluffyans!
