Doug Drenkow ( http://douglasdrenkow.com ), reporting for OpEdNews.com ( http://opednews.com ), sets the scene. The crowd reportedly estimated by police at 3,000 -- with approximately equal numbers of passionate supporters and opponents of reform as well as numerous members of the national and local news media and a visible police presence -- is surveyed. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) ( http://schiff.house.gov ) introduces himself and the issues, as opponents attempt to loudly disrupt the event, as they have previous town hall meetings back East. However, the meeting will proceed, with a distinguished panel and questions from the audience, shown in other YouTube clips in this series.
