“I found a couple of videos of tonight’s Kabuki theater on youtube” ~onemiddleamerican

Thanks for finding these!!!!

If you hold the button down with your mouse at the 2:35 mark on the first video, you will see a red “do not enter” sign. Look just to the left of it and you’ll see the top of my silver-colored SUV parked in that lot:

A view from outside, showing the crowd who wanted to get in, encircling the entire block. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivduddP9cOA

This one from WESH-TV’s traffic chopper and the on-the-ground reporter is also fantastic as it shows her saying that she’s never seen anything like it in all her years as a reporter and it’s the only way to show the size of the crowd who couldn’t get in.

Here’s the link to it again, for those who missed it:

Great videos and report! And they thought the protests were going to get smaller!

It is happening all over America and the pressure is on the members of Congress to the point they are having town halls by telephone!

That won't work either! Maybe they want us to come visit them on their front lawns to ask our questions! Since their meeting halls are so small their neighborhoods would provide the room for the public to attend. After all, the town halls are supposed to be open to the public, right?

Excellent on-the-scene report in #67, Matchett-PI, and in the main post (top of thread), MindBender26!

FReepers, check out the 3 minute video (link below) from WESH-TV in Orlando, Florida. The reporter on the scene says that she’s "never seen anything like it" in her 30 years as a reporter covering town meetings and other local news. She said using WESH's traffic chopper was the only way to show the size of the crowd that couldn’t get into the town hall meeting. Way to go, Florida patriots!

Hundreds Show Up For Health Care Debate (YouTube video runs 3:12 min)

I don't know who posted this YouTube video, but I think it was more like thousands showed up at the meeting, not "hundreds".
