Let go my health plan!

Counter protesters from the area (San Marcos and Houston for two other cities represented) today showed up in mass across from the AFL-CIL Headquarters on Lavaca for a showdown with the pro-government health care ObamaPlan. The counter protesters outnumbered the ones standing outside the AFL-CIO HQs by 2-1. Chants and shouts rang out across the street for better part of the two hours. The crowd broke up to walk to the Republic Park a few blocks away, where the pro-Obama Plan folks were supposed to create the shape of Texas, which was supposed to represent all the people in Texas without health insurance.

Well, that little performance didn't take place. By the time all the protesters and counter-protesters mingled at the park, some discussing, some shouting in their expressions of opinion...it was a little confusing.

I found it interesting that none of the Democrats who led the rally inside the AFL-CIO Union Hall faced the crowd and spoke at the park rally. We had thought that Doggett or Watson were going to speak, but no show!

Thanks so everyone who made the trip to Austin and for everyone braving the heat to show your support of Liberty and Freedom!
