Specter Townhall: August 11 2009
The Commonwealth Foundation’s Michael Nerozzi was there….
At 9 am the doors opened, but given the 250 person seating capacity, an estimated 1500 people had to remain outside. With the doors now closed, people rallied outside the event, holding signs that said “Hands off My Healthcare,” “I am the Mob,” “Pelosi and Obama Smell Fishy” and “If We’re ‘Astroturf’ Why Are You Trying to Mow Us?”, and singing “God Bless America”.
While some newspapers have tried to paint the rally as hostile or unruly, there were no incidents of violence and only a single outburst from one individual to be reported. Only a handful of people at the rally were in support of Obamacare, holding pre-manufactured signs.
