“Do we have more chairs?” By ten to six Tuesday night at the New Hanover County Library, the Live Oak Room was already packed wall to wall. Concerned citizens from several counties and both sides of the isle gathered to learn more about the negative impacts of Obamacare and the proposition to defund it that is being advocated in town halls across the country while Congress in on its summer break.
Lead by local conservative activists Jude Eden, Ginny Quaglia and Mary Ann McCarthy, the two-hour program consisted of seven speakers followed by Q&A. Empty chairs were labeled for Mike McIntyre, Richard Burr, and Kay Hagan who were each invited but declined. All have stated they are not holding any town halls while on recess.
