Today, President Barack Obama came to Portsmouth to hold a "Town Hall" style meeting about healthcare. After a speech about the plan, he took some questions from the audience (a total of 9 questions were asked). Outside, both supporters and protestors lined the sidewalks outside Portsmouth High School where the meeting was held. I'm including some clips from the day here for those interested in seeing democracy in action, right here in New Hampshire.

I will try to add to this tomorrow as I find some additional video that covers all angles of this "Town Hall" (Healthcare Reform) meeting.

Notice that the "People" opposed to 'government takeovers' use home-made signs, their own cars and their own voices while the thugs and useful idiots  supporting the new fascists have machine-made signs and machine-powered voices and ride the mob-bus.

God willing, Washington will be awakened to the sounds of "The People" on September 12th.  If you can; drive, hitch or fly there, but be there!

If you can't be there; be somewhere that other "People" are voicing opposition the the destroyers of our children's country and future.

You will either help or hinder, stand or fall, there is no middle-ground.
