 About 100 people, many of them carrying signs, rallied in Augusta today to encourage Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins to support federal health care legislation.

 Health Care for America Now! started the rally at the Kennebec County Courthouse and marched through the streets to the Muskie federal building.

 "I believe it's a human right," said Jessica Roy, a field organizer for Change that Works. "Everyone should have access to health care."

Marxism on parade. Wonder how many of these paid sign carriers are looking forward to a jail sentence for not paying his insurance requirement? This is not about health care; its a power grab not seen before. Wake up!
