Update:
There were about 2,000 people at Rick Larsen’s (D) quickly changed venue town hall. Now he did *have* a town hall, unlike some of his wimpy brethren and sisterhood.
It was about 60 - 40 agin - in this swing district based in Everett, WA, where there is a strong Navy presence.
Most of the first 20 comments (randomly selected) were all against...with the next 20 or so being evenly distributed...
All the good questions were asked, what about funding, where is this monstrosity provided for in the US Constitution, what about end of life counseling, what about the bias in this bill toward the elderly and the very young, what about the way the Feds are currently running any program can give us any confidence that they could run such a massive program, what about the 85% of us who are just fine with our health care...on and on...
It was rowdy and fun...some guy in front me told me to ‘can it’ and then left early...lol...
I think the pro protestors (dim bulb activists) don’t know what to make of us un-American unruly mobsters - lol!
