Luck of the Irish?

We went to a health care reform rally on St. Patrick's day. We marched down the street toward our Representative's office, and about halfway there noticed another crowd with signs coming toward us. Turns out they were also marching for health care! Anyway,
a few of us met with office staffers and asked that they convey our support; those who remained outside continued to chant, "If you vote for us, we'll vote for you!"




This afternoon Betsy Markey announced that she would vote for the present bill.

1. Thanks for an inspiring story & photos! Sounds like you had a great St Pats Day,

my favorite holiday. And thank you and your companions for helping to sway a 'no' vote to a 'yes.'
