Tierney's troops were called out to defend
his office front ... and of course showed up on command ... |
with professionally prepared signs ... |
that were promised by Tierney's people
when the calls and
e-mails went out for "bodies." |
 |

 |
|
But how many of them live and vote in the
district -- why'd they need to be bussed in? Geez, are coordinated colors a positive, or
negative statement in this environment? |
Bruce Gretz of West Newbury made his own sign. He told me he didn't
want a town meeting, he wanted Tierney to just vote for ObamaCare, constituent opinion be damned. |
Across Peabody Square in front of the
district court, constituents held signs calling on Tierney
to listen to their voices. |

While the Tierney troops demand government
takeover to health care, citizens who organized this
demonstration asked only to have their congressman hear
their voices before he votes. |
Somehow Tierney and his troops got the
citizens' message wrong, unintentionally or otherwise. |
Well over a hundred average citizens showed
up on their own to demand their congressman listen to them
before voting against their interests. |

|
The citizens' signs weren't quite as
professional as Tierney's troops -- citizens made and
brought their own.... |
but they managed to get their messages out. |
The crowd of citizens continued to build
before the courthouse and the 1 pm commencement got closer
... |
 |
 |
 |
|
as more and more arrived, taking time away
from jobs and daily routines. |
