After 43 people, many of them disabled, were forcibly removed and arrested from Capitol Hill while demonstrating against the revised healthcare bill released today, there’s another chance for those who oppose the bill to voice their concerns.
An emergency protest has been scheduled at National Airport, as senators depart for the weekend. “Let’s greet them with a massive protest to let them know what we think about their disastrous new healthcare bill,” the event page says.
The protest, organized by progressive groups like Resist Here and People for the American Way, begins at 5 p.m. at DCA’s Terminal B.
