About 150 rallied outside Congressman Dennis Moore’s (D-KS) office in Overland Park late yesterday afternoon to express opposition to the current health care reform bill being hastily pushed through Congress by Democrats.
The protesters were mostly from various Culture of Life groups, including Life 4 All and KFL, but many signs also focused on the fiscal issues related to health care and other government spending. Culture of Life groups have concerns that the health care proposals will promote abortion and euthanasia, shorting life at the beginning at end.
The video below shows ten protesters explain the meaning of their signs as well as express their frustrations with and fears of recent government actions:
The words on the ten signs explained in the video include:
- Page 16: Private Insurance Will Be Illegal; HSA is the Way
- Abortion is NOT “Health Care!
- We Say NO to Government Healthcare!
- Stop stealing my $ to support Culture of Death
- No Obama Care
- Out of Control Spending
- Moore is Out of Touch with Reality … Stop Spending; Moore Debt Destroys Our Nation
- Moore Debt, Less Care
- Big Government = CORRUPTION
- Obama-Care: More $ for Abortion; Less for Real Health Care (Thus Rationed)
Another protest is already scheduled for next week at Moore’s office. An “Audit the Fed” rally is scheduled for next Friday, July 24 from 4:15 PM to 5:30 PM, and is being organized by the Campaign for Liberty group. See their Facebook page for this event.
Next Sunday, July 26, a related “Angry Mob!” rally will be held at the Federal Reserve in Kansas City, MO as part of “welcoming” activities for the visit by Fed chaiman Bernanke to Kansas City. The Liberty Restoration Project is organizing that event.
Update: Protest rally held at the same time in Kansas City, MO at Congressman Emanuel Cleaver’s Office:
