Originally planned as an “anti-Obamacare” demonstration, a rally planned during the president’s visit to Grand Junction on Saturday for a health care town-hall meeting is turning into a major opposition event, the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports.
Organizers of what’s now known as a “Hands Off My Health Care” rally are expecting 3,500 to 4,000 people in Lincoln Park at 10 a.m., including tea-party and other activists from the Front Range and Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico.
“We are asking everyone to wear a solid red, white or blue shirt, show our patriotism and to contrast the purple shirts worn by SEIU activists,” Nancy Rumelt of Loveland said in an e-mail, referring to the Change for America campaign of the Service Employees International Union.
