SENIOR CITIZENS LIE-IN TO PROTEST HEALTHSCARE

A number of groups opposing HealthScare joined together to support a Senior Lie-in at the Ft. Myers, Fl. office of Sen. Bill Nelson. There were about 70 people there and most of them 'laid down' and had their bodies chalked to emphasize how many older people would die as a result of rationed care for older folks.

It was amazing how many seasoned citizens very carefully and with difficulty managed to get down on the ground. One woman insisted that we outline her cane (she has MS). Another gentleman with Parkinson's got on his knees and with help, got down on the ground....all the while wearing a cap that read, 'O...What a Mistake!' The effect of seeing all these older patriots lying all over the sidewalk was electrifying!

The event was planned because the older folks are the ones hurt most by this outrageous bill but they aren't represented as a separate group anywhere. They fold into the tea parties and they certainly aren't represented by AARP! So they decided to have one of their own and this is where you will see the still pics of it:

(this wasn't a 9/12 project but one of their members was kind enough to take pictures and this is where she posted them)
