Post-Rally Opposition Gathering

After the Democrats' Health Care Rally, concerned citizens in opposition to the government-run health care reforms gathered and shared a few words (without a microphone). It became more clear just how many in attendance were indeed there to oppose a government take-over of the health care system!

Health Care Rally in Rhinelander (by Organizing for America, DNC)

An organization of the DNC and directed by Obama himself, Organizing for America held a health care rally in support of the Democrat's health Care Reform plan. About 1/4 to 1/3 in attendance were in favor of government run health care while 2/3 to 3/4 were against.

Most (on both sides of issue) in attendance agreed that Tort Reform was necessary to control health care costs -- applause was evident from both parties when gov't run health care supporter encouraged tort reform.
