New venue for health care rally, moved outside.

On Sunday a rally will be held in Warren MI to support the defense of the ACA.

The rally was going to be in a college auditorium, but the response is such that it will be held outside.

Who is headlining this rally? Sanders, Schumer, Stabenow and Peters.

What were the odds that the response would be so large that the venue would need to be outside? 100%

The forecast is for sun and temps in the 20s. I will post some pics Sunday evening.

I think this rally is just the start of some pretty epic protests that are going to occur in the near future.

This is the second change... sounds like there is a great deal of interest.

with the Progressive Lt Governor that had to be moved from an elementary school to a bigger space in the high school becaus ethe sign up -- even for a satellite event ws too high.

Stabenow and Peters are our Senators, so they are expected to show up for this kind of thing. I will be surprised if a couple Congresspersons and local Mayors don't pop in too.

Sanders and Schumer are national figures though. Why Warren MI?

Not that I am complaining.

I assume Michigan was chosen because we need to win back the rust belt. I assume each state will have local people leading. Here, we have David Zuckerman, the new lt governor.

If we can't carry PA with VP Biden in there campaigning for our nominee, we have a lot of work to do there.

I guess I am just surprised that this is happening in my backyard. I wish I had known it was going to be such a big deal here earlier. I would have had better signs made. Thinking it would be inside, I didn't go all out. Now I need to recycle some old ones for the big event.

My bad.
