Dueling health care petitions at Boehner’s office
Update:
From Organizing for America Spokeswoman Christina Tamburro:
In response to your post today, to be clear, the 1,868 declarations that were dropped off by Organizing for America volunteers on Monday are all residents/constituents of Ohio’s 8th Congressional District (Boehner’s district). I’ve attached a PDF of the names of those that have publicly declared their support for the President’s plan for health insurance reform; the list includes supporters’ names, cities and zip codes.
(The pdf is below)
Original post:
After local Democratic groups dropped off a garlic milkshake and 1,800 signatures to protest U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner’s views on the “public option” in health care reform, a group on the right responded with a petition of its own.
The Cincinnati Tea Party delivered a petition this week to the West Chester Twp. Republican’s local office with 3,000 names of people opposed to the public option, according to officials in Boehner’s office.
The first, pro-public option petition had no addresses, so it was unclear how many signatures were from Boehner’s district. Of the second petition, 523 names were from Boehner’s district and nearly all were from Ohio, mostly from Cincinnati.
What do you think?
As an aside, I hope to have a blog point at some point soon dealing with county issues, so this doesn’t become the Boehner blog.
