Big Anti-HHS Rally in Minneapolis
Personal observation | 6/8/12 | IronJack

Posted on 06/08/2012 11:22:47 AM PDT by IronJack

Just passed by a large anti-Obamacare rally at Government Center in downtown Minneapolis. Looked like 250 - 300 people there, all well behaved but vehement in their opposition to this unconstitutional infringement on our liberties. Turnout was easily five to ten times the maximum any of the OWS rallies drew.

There was one here in Memphis as well. ±200 in attendance. Well behaved crowd, as is the case mostly on our side. There were a few malcontents from the other side lurking around the perimeter but they didn’t disrupt the proceedings.

Just got back from the rally in Indianapolis. about 2 to 300 hundred in attendance. Very motivated and well behaved crowd. The other side was nowhere to be seen, which surprised me. I figured the disruptors would be out in force. I guess Tuesday’s election took the wind out of their sails.

Nah, it's because the union paychecks for these professional protestors stopped on Tuesday.

My girls belong to Crusaders for Life, Detroit!

Our protest had about 300 people and 6 counter protestors. My daughter and a couple other kids stood with them and chanted loudly holding Yellow "Life" balloons and dancing. They moved quickly away.

A man and his mom were selling pizza and water. They had a bullhorn and chanted with the kids. They were beautiful!

Here's our group with our balloon rosary..
