Tea Party Protest of Obamacare Huge Success
August 22, 2009
Bayside, New York
Dan Halloran and members of the North Queens Community came out in force to join Tea Party and Liberty protestors to rally against the Obamacare Healthcare proposals that could undermine the Nation’s healtcare system and impose socialized medicine. Congressman Gary Ackerman’s office was innundated with protestors and media because he has ignored the calls of his constitutents and repeated requests for a town-hall meeting to discuss the matter.
Conservative party Mayoral candidate Terrance M. Gray joined Conservative Party Chairman Tom Long, Queens County GOP Executive Vice Chairman Vince Tabone, Queens County Libertarian Party Chairman John Procida, Tea Party activist Phil Orenstein, and New York City Council Candidate Dan Halloran at the protest. With over 50 protestors on site, the Ackerman office attempted to call in support but wound up with only 8 senior citizens who had been scared by the tactics of the AARP and other left-wing groups that erroneously tie the Healthcare reform to their Medicare survival.
Halloran said, ” When the tactics of this administration are to scare the elderly to prevent them from knowing the truth about the socialization of medicine and hides behind 1000 pages of a bill to prevent the common man from understanding it…. you know they are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Fortunately, American Patriots won’t stand for it and are fighting back!”
