Public Option!
Phoenix, Arizona comes out tonight for Organizing for America, a rally at the IBEW hall to kick off the bus that will travel the country for two weeks to promote health care reform.
I was really proud to be there tonight with hundreds of supporters. The event was well-planned, with plenty of homemade signs, people of all description, a stage with speakers, banners, the bus, and a crowd of perhaps about 700 total. Oh yes, the "haters" were there too, about 45 of them across the street on 7th Street who loudly booed all of "us" on the other side. I was glad to see the police were out in force for the crowd control and traffic jam there. And since it was NOT Sheriff Joe's crew, it was handled very well. What a night to be out on the streets, the day when Ted Kennedy's passing ignited a new fervor to "GET IT DONE!"
