As throngs of protestors formed along the four corners of a busy Scottsdale intersection Saturday morning, cars honked in response to signs asking them to do so, if they didn’t agree with President Barack Obama’s health care bill.
Another sign read “Obama’s Care Leads To Rationed Care.”
Another, “Where’s Harry?”
Protestors pointed their signs toward Congressman Harry Mitchell’s office, 7201 E. Camelback Road .
A cacophony of car horns and chants like “Waiting is death... Waiting is death...” punched the morning air at 9 a.m.
Leading the chant with a bull horn and standing on an elevated platform as a soap box was Tom Jenney, the director of Arizona ’s chapter of Americans For Prosperity, a national nonprofit group that supports less government involvement.
He was getting the crowd involved.
“My message is freedom,” Jenney told a swelling crowd that organizers described to have peaked at about 1,000 protestors.
Protestor Mark Stephenson of Phoenix said at 56 he did not support revamping health care the way the current administration is proposing. To Stephenson, he said the only choice was choice, “don’t restrict my health care options.”
Later Saturday morning, the crowds of protestors that packed four corners surrounding the busy intersection slowly began to break up.
Many were headed to a town hall featuring Congressman John Shadegg scheduled to start at 11 a.m. at the Arcadia Neighborhood Learning Center , 4330 N. 62nd St .
