From FOXNews.com (my comments are italicized)---Supporters of President Obama's plan to overhaul the health system, in an acknowledged attempt to reverse growing opposition to the plan, are planning a fusillade of rallies and bus tours starting this week.
Health Care for American Now, an umbrella organization of groups supporting Obama's plan, is coordinating its efforts with Organizing for America, the Obama campaign organization now melded into the national Democratic Party, which reputedly has an e-mail list of up to 13 million names.
From FOXNews.com--Supporters of President Obama's plan to overhaul the health system, in an acknowledged attempt to reverse growing opposition to the plan, are planning a fusillade of rallies and bus tours starting this week.
Health Care for American Now, an umbrella organization of groups supporting Obama's plan, is coordinating its efforts with Organizing for America, the Obama campaign organization now melded into the national Democratic Party, which reputedly has an e-mail list of up to 13 million names.
Together, they plan 1,000 events before the congressional recess ends September 8. The title for the blitz: "Health insurance reform now, let's get it done."
Defy the majority of America, increase debt, murder innocent people, ignore America now, let's get it done.
"We want to send members of Congress back to D.C. with the real message, which is that the majority of the public want comprehensive health care reform and we want it now," said Jacki Schechner, spokeswoman for HCAN.
36% of us support ObamaCare. 42% oppose it. Unless all my math teachers were wrong, 42 is more than 36. The majority of the public want comprehensive words from their leaders (not incoherent contradiction) and they want it now.
"We want to make sure members of Congress understand the last couple of weeks is not where the majority of the public is," said Schechner, referring to rowdy town hall meetings dominated by critics of the Democrats' plans.
No, the majority of the public agrees with those who disagree with ObamaCare, there just wasn't enough room for all the opposers at the meetings, so some stayed home. WE want to make sure that you understand that the majority of the public is fed up with this healthcare crap.
As conservative groups have organized against Democrats' health care legislation and cast it as a government takeover of health care, polls have shown fading public support for sweeping changes and skepticism over Obama's handling of the issue.
Well, it's a good thing the majority of the public still agrees with Obama, 'cause I was starting to worry that my Granny would make it and... oh... they figured him out already?
The events will mostly be large rallies, speeches and press conferences where the public will be invited to cheer or listen -- though not express the kind of opposition or ask the kinds of questions that have contributed to increased opposition to health care reform in many polls.
A nationwide DNC bus tour to spread the word starts Wednesday in Phoenix and continues through 10 more cities.
Yeah, no voicing any opposition. We wouldn't want anyone to think for a nanosecond that the majority of the public was really AGAINST ObamaCare.
Each city will include a big rally organized with the help of unions. DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse said there will also be numerous large press conferences "in big public spaces" with lawmakers and people with individual health care stories the nation should hear.
Democrats say they held more than 500 town hall meetings in the first half of the congressional recess. Town halls will not be the main focus of the second half of the break, though they will continue and be organized nationally.
This would seem to be directly at odds with the general complaint among Democrats that some opposition to health care reform at town halls this summer has appeared to be organized. The attempted smear is they are not grassroots but "astroturf" -- a term that suggests that it was manufactured.
In fact the opposition has been organized at the grassroots level outside Washington, which is exactly what Democrats in Washington are now doing, with the help of labor unions, to push the pro-reform agenda.
Hypocrites. Well, at least you're doing the best thing for America, what the majority of Americans want...
