Manchester Obamacare Protest -- 3-18-10

While Democratic leaders continued their bully tactics on Capitol Hill to try and force their socialized health care plan on the American people, about 75 to 100 New Hampshire residents gathered around Manchester City Hall on Thursday, to remind lawmakers who they work for and make it clear once again that we the people really do want Congress to kill the Obamacare proposal and start over with some fresh ideas grounded in the free market principles that have made America great.

As more people poured in to protest the radical left agenda of the state and federal governments, candidates such as John Stephen and Karen Testerman for governor, and Jennifer Horn and Frank Guinta for Congress spoke about their plans to take back the state Capitol and Congress for the people.

Former Senator Gordon Humphrey and other protest speakers expressed their disdain for a government that has lost its way and demanded that Congress defer to the American people.

From City Hall, protesters marched up Elm Street to Lowell Street, where they paid a visit to the office of their sitting Congresswoman, Carol Shea-Porter. Protesters, tired of her form letters, arrogant attitude and allegiance to Nancy Pelosi rather than the residents of her district, sent Shea-Porter a clear message about her coming pink slip, particularly if she continues along her current, shameful path.

framers of the Constitution were aware that changes would be necessary if the Constitution was to endure as the nation grew. However, they were also conscious that such change should not be easy, lest it permit ill-conceived and hastily passed amendments. On the other hand, they also wanted to ensure that a rigid requirement of unanimity would not block action desired by the vast majority of the population
