More than 1,000 people rallied today on Boston Common, shouting slogans and holding aloft banners demanding "reform now" in a show of force supporting President Obama's push to overhaul health care.
In a refrain that echoed across the grassy lawn, the crowd chanted: "What do we want? Health Care Reform! When do you want it? Now!" Placards read "Public Option = Government for the People" and "Cape Cod will not let Ted's dream die." Members of the crowd said they wanted to push back against vocal opposition to reform as Obama gears up for a major health care address to Congress on Wednesday.
"The Republicans are very organized and we want to prove that the Democrats are also organized,” said Barbara Blume, 64, of Centerville on Cape Cod. “I want to tell them that they are not in step with the American people. The American people support health care reform and we support President Obama."
A parade of politicians and organizers addressed the crowd, including state Attorney General Martha Coakley, who formally launched her campaign last week to fill the US Senate seat vacated by the death of Edward M. Kennedy. LinkHere
