Bernie Sanders held a rally in Milton on Monday Night, the eve of the Super Tuesday Primary.

An estimated 3,600 people filled the Field House at Milton High School to hear from the Vermont Senator.

Among those in attendance was Deb DellaPiana of Stoneham who said she supports Sanders because he's not beholden to special interests.

"He's not taking money from Wall Street the Banks, the corporations," said DellaPiana "he wants to make this country accessible to everyone and I just don't think we're there."

The Doine family was also in attendance as son Bernie Doine displayed a wide array of Bernie Sanders buttons including one that said "Dogs For Bernie, Eruff is eruff."

His father Dermot Doine says he was supporting Bernie Sanders because of Sanders's support for working people.

"I've been a big union supporter for years and I think when it comes to working classes, and the disparity between Wall Street and the regular guy he puts it out there and it needs to be addressed."

Sanders addressed the crowd by urging them to remember the Commonwealth's role in the American Revolution.

"Your state lead the American Revolution, now it is time for Massachusetts to lead the Political Revolution," said Sanders.

The Vermont Senator also stuck to his economic message.

"Today in America, we have a rigged economy," said Sanders "what that means, simply stated, is that you and millions of other Americans are working longer hours for lower wages."

While many favor Hillary Clinton to win big in the Super Tuesday Primaries, Sanders told his supporters they've proven skeptics wrong before.

"When we began we had no money, we had no political organization and people outside of New England really didn't know who Bernie Sanders was," said Sanders and we were taking on perhaps one of the best known people in this country, somebody who had been annointed by the establishment as the Democratic nominee, well alot has changed in the last ten months."

Massachusetts will be one of 11 states taking part in the Super Tuesday Primaries.
