Scenes from a Health Care Town Hall


Tonight, Barb attended a health care town hall meeting in Reston, Virginia, with Congressman Jim Moran and Howard Dean. The hall was filled with 2500, with more turned away. Below, in no particular order, are some images from the evening:

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign:

Hello? Ever heard of miracles? Jesus don't need no stinkin' insurance:

Your car's more grammatical, too:

The sign (and the hair) say it all, yo:

Sadly, Barb didn't get a photo of a similar sign that read, "Euthanize socialist whores." (Capitalist whores, apparently you're safe):

How do I redistribute my work ethic? Sounds like something the socialists would do:

Because a strong 2nd amendment is key to any health care reform:

Bleeding Obamacare:


Poor sign timing:

When in doubt, invoke a founding father:

That's not fair - I'm pretty sure Bush was sober when he was spending irresponsibly:

And I'm getting too tired to comment - make up your own:



Honorable mention to a sign Barb wasn't able to photograph: "Real Cripples for Health Care."

Crazy, yet educational event. Certainly not a sleep through it type of public debate.

Thanks, Barb, for taking a bullet for all of us who don't live near frothing-mouthed birthers.

Well it's nice to see people are not as apathetic as I imagined. Just crazy.
