Just got home, 10:00pm news. Caught WFRV TV 5, "police called in to control the crowd." Are they kidding? Turned to WBAY TV 2, three hundred inside and hundreds turned away. At least we give TV 2 kudos for calling it right. Didn't see WLUK 11.
6:30 pm , hope I'm not late.
Down to the basement. "Welcome', that was nice.
Sitting on some chairs before the sign up tables.
Name address, city , zip, phone #, I had to put Berry Laker. Steve now has my address.
This is on the door going into the auditorium. No political signs? Why not?
Picture of standing room only. One of Kagen's staff( I'm assuming) started telling some guys in line , it full and he won't let you in. Screaming and pointing fingers. Had to calm the lefty down. I see his point, the place was full but didn't look too good on a shouting match even before it started.
Big crowd. People standing in aisles. Were told to get a seat or will be told to leave. Fire code only limits 300. Way over already.
Sometime before 7:00,still no Kagen.
Stage set up for our 8th District congressman. Bunch of propaganda set up by Kagen. Props, for sure.
Crowd out the back door on people who won't get in. I was one of the last one's by the door and I think my Gitmo shirt kept me in.
Door closed, crowd outside yelling ,"MOVE OUTSIDE, MOVE OUTSIDE"
Let's go . Let's get the show on the road.
Good crowd.
In the aisle, were sitting on the floor.
6:55 , there's the man. Out of 300, 15 - 20 stand up and cheer. 100 to 150 sit and boo!
Opening talking points, thanks military, standing O for our military and those that served.7:00, chant starts up " READ THE BILL, READ THE BILL, READ THE BILL!"
More talking points. 7:35, was asked about abortion in the bill, Kagen brushed off question.
Early questions were stacked in Kagen's favor.
The white book by Kagen's left hand is the house health care bill. I can't believe he brought it.
The MSM up front.
Kagen reading questions from written cards from crowd.
Kagen even tried to read the bill. This might be when he was reading page 425, "end of life planning", said no such thing will happen in bill.
Someone up front from insurance company. Could not hear question.
He said twice. "if you like what you have now, you can keep it. Wow, what a bunch of B S!
Kagen was asked if he would go on gov health care. Will he go on plan? Ready for this. He said "he will look into it." He couldn't even answer the question. I guess he knows he will not have the plan he is forcing down our throats.
8:02 - four of Green Bays finest in to clear the aisles of people sitting on floor. They were not there to control a rowdy crowd. It was a fire hazard plain and simple. If you had no seat you had to go. I was wondering if I was going to just raise my wrists and tell em to take me away. Lucky some people left, I got to sit in the middle towards the back.
A young lady hitting Kagen up on Medicare Medicaid payments. She was making good points on who really pays and how much.
A gentle man hits Kagen up on cap and trade. Kagen said it would cost family $80 - $140 by 2020. The guy said he called energy companies and they told him $1500 starting next year. Kagen tried to blow the guy off and crowd went crazy.
9:00 pm Kagen calls it quits.A couple of comments.
Kagen said he found buyers for Niagara New Page Mill.
Kagen said he has buyers for Kimberly plant.
Kagen said Obama is for nuclear energy.
Kagen said he lives with two lawyers in Washington and is for tort reform.
Kagen said a majority of the people of the Wisconsin 8th district disagree with most in tonight's crowd. Say what!
Kagen said twice, " you will have a choice."
Kagen said he always took medicaid patients at his business.
You have got to give Kagen credit for holding the session. It was not a mob like TV 5 would have you believe. People are afraid of this health care plan and they don't want it. They want gov. out of their lives. They were loud and they were vocal. Obviously the left did not come out in force.
Hope someone could get audio of the whole two hour session. We shall see how Appleton goes tomorrow at 10:00 am
Update, video from WLUK Fox11
