Video: Sacramento Channel 10 News


This was Channel 10 Sacramento's top story on Saturday night, Aug. 2. The Channel 10 newscaster stopped to see what was going on when he saw people gathering at the Governor's Mansion, along with the Channel 3 news truck (we don't have a copy of Channel 3's coverage). After Carmen perfectly pitched the story to him, he decided to submit this story instead of the one he had previously been covering, and it was put on the top spot on the nightly news!

Hey there,

Wanna make sure to thank that really nice fella (Lars) from Thornton Starbucks...... The strawberry frap was yummy.

Wow....the people out in the various towns are beyond nice.

The truckers waving and horn-blowing from highway 5 is so supportive, keeps us going, keeps us waving, keeps us passing-out flyers, keeps us talking to all willing to slow down long enough to hear our message.

Our message: "Take care of our nation....Take care of public schools....Support our children....Support families....Support neighborhoods....Support communities...."
How: Funding that provides what EVERY PUBLIC SCHOOL needs.

When you support education through public schools, you are supporting a strong, productive, healthy, caring nation.
