I attended a community meeting today, held by Jared Polis at Vic's Espresso and News here in Boulder, Colorado.
ban nock had a diary up earlier, but here's my take.
Sorry! No blood on the floor -- no violent confrontations (at least while I was there)!
But what I did hear was a great deal of interest and concern about health care from citizens (and not just from supporters). Two take home lessons (if you can't stay for the pictures): 1) SHOW UP! We need your voices and bodies out at these events, folks. There are more of US than THEM -- but we need to show up! 2) Be calm, have rules for discourse at the event (I'm talking to you, staffers!), and enforce the rules!
It was a good day for democracy!
