“House Call on Congress” – Peoples Press Collective coverage of Washington DC rally against government takeover of Healthcare (the “Pelosicare” bill – HB3962) (Part 1)

Thanks to the generous contributions of Peoples Press Collective readers and especially the R Block Party grassroots organization, Peoples Press Collective was able to send a correspondent to cover the national “House Call on Congress” rally against government takeover of healthcare (the “Pelosicare” bill, HB3962) at the steps of the U.S. Capitol. 

Unfortunately, despite the impressive attendance (10,000+) and clearly expressed voice of the people – at the rally and nationwide – against this “worst bill ever” the U.S. House did pass the bill the following Saturday at midnight (or just before).

Subsequent events – the Fort Hood massacre, commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, Josh Penry’s withdrawal from the Colorado Governor’s race, Veteran’s Day commemorations (plus technical delays in processing the videos) have delayed publication of PPC’s coverage of the event.  Which is a shame – because PPC correspondents got some fantastic coverage of the rally itself and even better interviews with many of the participants - and even got in to speak with a Colorado Congressman’s office (the Congressman, Ed Perlmutter, was conspicuously absent – but PPC did sit down for an interview with his point man on healthcare, before Perlmutter’s chief of staff rather brusquely pulled him away).
