On relatively short notice, Kalamazoo residents turned out this afternoon, in the cold and the rain, at Republican Representative Fred Upton’s office in downtown Kalamazoo, to protest the House Republicans’ AHCA vote to repeal Obamacare. Granted that Republicans tried to rush the vote through before anyone could take notice or question the contents. Granted that Upton WAS opposed to the terrible bill, but quickly flipped for an $8 billion promise that fails to fix the bill. Granted that Upton, Trump, and other Republicans are promising (lying?) that everyone with pre-existing conditions will be covered, when the details of the bill make it clear that they won’t. Granted that Upton has been afraid to meet with his constituents in Kalamazoo at a town hall for many, many years. (You can’t even really tell it is his office from the exterior.) The spirit of RESISTANCE lives on.
