Protesting the TEA party protesters — Nov. 4, 2009

Posted by LaHaynes on · Leave a Comment 

Hi all,
Here is the media coverage of yesterday’s protest. Lots of good shots of our signs and great quotes from Dr. Pippa Abston. Again, we thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to be there!

Channel 31
http://www.waaytv.com/ scroll right to the segment titled “Opposing Views Represented At …”

Channel 48
http://www.waff.com/global/story.asp?s=11447634 This has the script of the interview. If you watch the video, you can see they cut out “for all” at the end of my quote. But they did at least cut to one of our signs that said “healthcare for all.” :-)

Channel 19
http://www.whnt.com/ scroll down the page to “top videos” section. The segment is titled “Hundreds Protest Health Care Issue” (that’s misleading… but the anchor says at the end that the event drew about 100.)

Channel 54 — the local Fox affiliate doesn’t have anything up yet. They have a very small newsroom and it usually takes a few days for the website to be updated.

Huntsville Times
http://blog.al.com/breaking/2009/11/people_protest_against_-_and_f.html — While the article focuses mostly on the tea party folks, we do get our points in there and are given the last word… that’s always a good thing.
http://photos.al.com/huntsville-times/2009/11/tea_party_rally_1.html — This page has a slide show of photos from the event. Look to the right of the page and click on “View as a slideshow.” There’s one poor guy who ended up being photographed with a sign that says “angry mob” and an arrow that, the way he holds it, points to his groin area …

Hi all,

Great response tonight! Big thanks go to all 20 of our NAHA people (and friends!) who made it out to protest the local TEA party folks (anti-healthcare reform people).

Below are photos from the event:

Again, thanks everyone for your quick and enthusiastic response!
