Marta and I attended a health care rally, NO PROTESTERS!



http://www.makeamericahappen.com/highway-to-health-care/

It was raining off and on. 50-60 people stood and listened under umbrellas to the speakers. We cheered. We heard a couple stories of things nobody in this country should go through. I got a free shirt ((concert style with the logo below on the back)) for my granddaughter. Her dad owns his own business. They spend over $1,000 a month for premiums for the 3 of them.

Not a single protester showed up.

1. It was raining and there weren't enough porta-potties for 'em.
You know the number has to be at least three porta-potties for each lunatic...er...uh... "Patriot." And unless they can stand between raindrops, they're not getting wet. They're "Patriots," willing to shed their blood for the rich man, but not willing to get wet.

7. They will be here in Indy next Friday!
Hopefully, it won't be on the far north side of town where most of the very wealthy live.
