“I’m a concerned American,” Gary Parrott said, standing outside the offices of Representative John Salazar and Senator Michael Bennett.
So concerned, Gary Parrott joined close to a hundred other protestors armed with boxes of shredded paper. The shredded paper: copies of President Barack Obama’s health care bill. With a vote expected sometime this week in the House of Representatives, petitioners lined up outside the offices of their congressmen across America, in what’s being called a “house call.”
“It’s a polite, but at the same time forceful way to get the message across,” Jeff Crank, Colorado director of Americans for Prosperity, the organization spearheading house calls across the country.
The message? Widespread disapproval of President Obama’s proposed healthcare bill and the public option.
“We were watching C-SPAN prior to coming out,” Parrott said. “We saw all of the tens of thousands of people [in Washington, D.C.]. It’s invigorating to see this isn’t just a local event. It’s country-wide.”
Hallways were lined with eager petitioners waiting to share their opinions with Senator Michael Bennett and Representative John Salazar. The two congressmen weren’t in their offices, so petitioners were greeted by their staffers, who accepted boxes and bags full of shredded paper, as well as petition letters.
