Current HuffPost Headline: "HC Supporters Start to Outnumber Protesters at Town Halls"
or something like that...


Could it be the "sleeping giant" that has been awaken is the throng of folks who want reform and who will drive the reform just as President Obama said would be needed for real change?

Perhaps this is the reason for the past three days of public option talk.

4. Hundreds of Dems showed up for our Town Hall
The Wingnuts had a Rally before and we shouted them down. It was a thing of beauty! They had microphones and speakers, but we did not let them get one lie out!

Free Speech works both ways. This is the only video of the beginning of the Rally before the Town Hall. In the next two hours lots more people showed up to shout along with us!

When 3000 of us went into the Town hall with Rick Larsen, we were all much more civilized.

K and R

6. Yes and CNN dismissed it this morning
When it was just the RW'ers they tried so hard to spin it that they represented the majority of Americans and how unpopular HC reform is.

Now that they are being out-numbered the spin has changed. Instead of concluding that maybe a majority of people are really for health care reform and that the anti's are actually a minority, now the spin is that they can't hear what either side is saying so that pretty much makes them even.

It's really quite astounding.
