“Union coffee break no match for thousands who rallied for freedom,” Jim Martin, 60 Plus.
(Washington, DC) – Dueling rallies characterized the stakes outside the Supreme Court today, as pro-Obamacare supporters were largely composed of paid protestors hailing from union and other Democrat affiliated organizations, while thousands of anti-Obamacare activists joined in the “Hands off My Health Care Rally” on Capitol Hill, cheering speakers calling for more freedom and less government.
One of the rally’s featured speakers was Jim Martin, Chairman of the 60 Plus Association, the nation’s largest conservative seniors organization with over 7.1 million senior supporters nationwide.
“A good many of our friends out here protesting in favor of Obamacare had a paid holiday,” said Martin. “Courtesy of the taxpayer, their union bosses gave them an extended coffee break to tow the company line, with materials also bought and paid for by the taxpayer. This may be one of the top growth industries in President Obama’s economy; hiring more protestors to demand more goodies from the American taxpayer. The next union protest may be when these people realize they were only paid the minimum wage to march outside most of the day!
“Meanwhile the thousands that attended the ‘Hands Off’ rally came to Washington on their own dime, many of them from hundreds of miles away. These people represent the tens of millions of Americans who overwhelmingly support repealing Obamacare lock, stock and barrel, and who understand that this law is bad medicine, and hazardous to our health.
“If the union protestors looked unhappy today, I’d hate to see their faces when the Court strikes down the individual mandate, and when America rejects Obamacare at the ballot box by giving him a one-way ticket back to Chicago this November. Make no mistake; there is another senior citizen tsunami on the horizon, very similar to the one that swept 63 pro-Obamacare Congressmen out of office in 2010. Seniors didn’t like the bill then, and they like it even less now!”
