Organizing for America, pro-healthcare rally draws about 500

This morning there were several other events at the Central Florida Fairgrounds including Pop Warner football games, a group of coin collectors, a Jamaican Health Fair of all things, and a flea market, so I had to find my way. At least this sign didn't read "Puppet Show and Organizing for America":



Aha, this is what I was looking for!


Nice to see other members of "the liberal media" were on hand:

(I also saw vans for local channels 2 and 9 outside the rally, but I failed to capture their crews on my camera.)

There were about 500 people on hand (I swear by my number sense as a math teacher that if anything, I'm estimating low):


It was a drizzly morning, and this crowd far outnumbered any other in attendance--including the football game.
All were pro health care. I was called at 6:25 the evening before, so I think this was rally was called on short notice. The speakers were fiery, so I don't think you've heard the last from Organizing for America.
