Report from the Front: Rally for Public Optionby: TaxiManSteveFri Aug 21, 2009 at 09:10:34 AM EDT |

Twenty people showed up for our rally for keeping the Public Option in Healthcare Reform on Thursday, August 20...This was sponsored by Working Families Win... I personally convinced four others to join me...We held hand-lettered signs while others mass-printed ones...I wished our numbers were closer to 200...So important is this issue...
On the other hand, all motorists who responded gave us a thumbs up or other positive gestures...A contrast with other public demonstrations held in Keene's Central Square over the decades. |

Still, it was disheartening to watch our Senator Judd Gregg on the cover of the Union Leader acting as a point man in the effort to derail the public option in healthcare Reform. Headline: Gregg: Pitfalls of a public option.
