ThinkProgress attended the protests at Towson, which were loud and crowded hours before the event. Picketers were holding signs reading “Health Care Not Death Care” and “Illegal Immigrants Love Obama Care.” “Public option is no option,” “Cardin come outside,” and “Obama does not care” were popular chants by the anti-reform protesters. Although picketers with signs were supposed to be restricted to the sidewalks along the main street, people soon moved their way up the hill toward the building venue, where shouting matches between pro- and anti-reform crowds broke out.

Many of the protesters had heard about the town hall meeting on local radio station WBAL. Another woman with whom ThinkProgress spoke said that she was an active member of tea party organizations, which were promoting the event, and another woman said that she gets “all of my news from Fox News” and had heard about the town hall on the local Fox station.
