Large group rallies in Downtown Roanoke to Oppose Socialized Medicine

A large group of concerned citizens gathered in Downtown Roanoke today, to Oppose the Federal Governement takeover of our Healthcare system.

The PATIENTS FIRST bus rolled into Roanoke today at about 3 pm. Speaking to the Crowd, Ben Marchi (VA director of Americans for Prosperity) asked people to call their elected leaders, immediately from their cellphones. He then gave out phone numbers of the local electeds.

Another speaker, Dr. Lawrence Hunter of The Social Security Institute spoke against Obama's plan to ration healthcare and how it will hit our oldest citizens the hardest....and the provisions in the bill for mandatory "Death counseling" at age 65 and every 5 years after that.

Our local Senator, Ralph Smith, also addressed the crowd and spoke of his opposition to the Govt. plan.

I hope that Senators Warner and Webb, and Congressment Boucher and Perriello are listening! We the people expect them to OPPOSE this horrible plan for Federal Control of America's Healthcare system.
