I hope the reason people didn't reply is because they haven't logged onto DU after the Vigils.

6. In New Orleans

Probably about 200 people were there. People spoke for an hour talking about health care nightmares as well as folks from Britain who told of the lies they are hearing about the NHS. One of the people speaking was a friend of mine, who was uninsurable before she turned 22.

8. Winograd4Congress Marina Del Rey Honk for Health Care Reform

There were 2 vigils in LA last night (I believe). One in MDR (Marina del Rey) organized by Marcy Winograd 4 Congress. Marcy is a huge supporter of Single-Payer and she is running against Jane Harman in the CA-36th District. The other vigil was in front of Dianne Feinstein's office.
