Default Raleigh, NC Obamacare Townhall Protest

Quote:
I just returned from protesting outside President Obama’s Town Hall meeting at Broughton High School in Raleigh, NC. Some MoveOn & Pro-ObamaCare protesters grouped up in the parking lot of Fallons Flowers, Anti-ObamaCare Patriots took up the rest of the streets. Along each sidewalk and each corner, the message was clear… we don’t want larger government… we don’t want higher taxes… we don’t want government health care.

The protest was civilized on both sides, except for the one lady on the opposite side who kept shouting “Loser! Loser!” and “Our President is in the White House, where is your President?” If she represents the intellect and maturity of the Pro-ObamaCare Movement, I’m even more glad to be on the other side.

NOTE: The crowd was large, diverse and very spread out. I think Wake County GOP did us all a disservice by encouraging protesters to go to the intersection of Sutton and Smallwood. There was nothing there, and many of us moved to the corner on St. Mary’s where all the action was. This isn’t about the GOP, the Republican Party hasn’t done us too many favors in recent years. Next time they try to direct Conservatives to a different protest location, I won’t listen. This was and always has been a grassroots effort… and today proved yet again that grassroots patriots are more in touch with our rights and the dangers we are protesting against.

Many more pictures at the webpage.

However, the local news only has one picture up:

Groups rally against Obama health care

I suspect this is going to be a pretty common theme over the summer recess for Congress.

Townhall meetings are going to be a hot seat for representatives, and a rallying point for those against statism.

That's odd. The crowd looks small and all white in the pictures provided.

6 confirmed non-whites, 4 of which were in one picture.

I guess diverse means white wingnuts and white conservatives all took a day off work to be ignorant together outside.

A big thanks for the grass roots organizations letting our legislators know how we feel, from ABATE, the NRA, to the Tea party movement we have to know that we are not the sheeple some of them would like us to be. Otherwise we will see the freedoms that our forefathers founded this country on trampled into the dust and the Constitution blasphemed.

edit - no pork.... what a crock of organic fertilizer
