Just showing up to say "no" may block the current proposals, but doesn't solve the problem. And it needs solving. So teabaggers ... got an answer besides, "tough luck" for those who can't afford health coverage?

So teabaggers … got an answer besides, “tough luck” for those who can’t afford health coverage?

We entered Liberman's office about 9:30 AM to ask him to swear he would not take any more insurance money. "Patients not Profits". Some of us were CodePink, most were other activists. I think about 8 were arrested. Three are being held overnight, probably because they didn't have up to date IDs. CodePink then moved to the Homeland Security hearing with signs displayed for Chairman Lieberman asking for Health Care for All. Then we attended some of Bachman's rally, and then to Pelosi's office where we donned hospital gowns and plastic bare bottoms and greeted the Bachman groop, some of whom occupied Pelosi's office until arrested. I'm guessing that's more than you wanted to know. You only caught the action in the early morning.
