Locals in this state swear up and down that the amount of rain we are receiving this summer is unusual and I'm beginning to think the weather gods are trying to test our resolve in passing significant healthcare reform in 2009. In Hamilton, however, we didn't let the threat of inclement weather stop our party. Making the last minute decision to move our event inside the public library didn't impact the amount of locals eager to turnout to hear their neighbors, Chris and her husband, Curt, and Corrine Gant share their horror stories with our current health care crisis. The room was so packed that there was standing room only for any stragglers.
Chris and her husband, Curt, own a small business. Chris is unable to leave her current position, however, to help her husband keep the company afloat
After the event, attendees filled out surveys, shared their stories in our growing binder of letters to congress, and spoke with the two members of local press who showed up to cover the event. Our momentum has snowballed at this point, the story of our drive and the stories of all the people we have encountered along the way are being shared in the places where they need to be heard the most.
