20. Keith was a no show (surprise!)

There was an overflow crowd although not out the door tonight in the Beaver municipal building community room. If I had to guess, I'd say 150 or so. It was pretty well organized with participants asked to give contact info and/or sign up for text alerts. Mostly it was people telling their healthcare stories and also learning some facts about what the GOP has in store as far as "replacement".

The crowd got up a couple good chants near the end with "ACA must stay" and another that was funny, but that my old brain cannot remember.

We all held up paper with our zip codes on it to show Keith we're all his constituents.

In other news, the emcee who's head of the local progressive dems said there are a lot of people stepping up to run for office. There was a gent running for county court and also another gent, but he didn't say what office he was running for.

We all got cake and a non-alcoholic drink on the way out.

We might have even planted the seeds for a local Indivisible group.
