U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-12, Sewickley, was invited, but did not attend. Rothfus, though, was a hot topic for the crowd, who chuckled at an early comment about him being unavailable before shifting to hearty boos.

Yellow cards addressed to Rothfus, who has made repealing and replacing the ACA his main goal, were placed in every chair so that attendees could share their personal stories of the ACA with him.

Besides using the meeting to galvanize opposition to repealing the ACA, Shannon said she hopes that energy lasts into the 2018 election, when Rothfus is up again.
