Edited on Sat Aug-29-09 04:07 PM by KittyWampus
an SEIU guy attacked him and then proceeded to show up on rightwing shows in a wheelchair feigning injury.

Up to 1,000 rally in NYC for health care bill
2 hrs 11 mins ago

NEW YORK – About a thousand people rallied in Manhattan on Saturday in support of federal health care reform legislation.

The event near Times Square began shortly after the funeral for U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, and took-on the feel of a tribute to the liberal leader.

One person carried a sign that said, "TeddyCare for all."

U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney told the crowd the bill will lower health care costs for almost everyone. The New York Democrat also invoked Kennedy, saying the senator understood the need for change.

18. A late K&R - thanks so much for sharing. I have said several
times - IMHO - this movement is growing. If decent health reform isn't passed, there maybe a huge outcry from this country, and our representatives will have to act.
