Last night in Phoenix Park in downtown Lexington, Organizing for America hosted a pro-health insurance reform rally. It was well attended, with approximately 100 people present at the peak. Better yet (or not, if you're looking for great entertainment), there were no tea-baggers present that I or any of my cohorts saw. We got some good video of some of the speakers and the demonstration itself, including a personal declaration of support for health reform from Lexington's wonderful State Senator, Kathy Stein. Response from passing drivers was almost universally supportive, as you'll hear in the videos below. Enjoy and keep fightin' the good fight for health insurance reform!
