Top New Jersey Lawmakers Join Rally to Save 'Obamacare'

Hundreds of people gathered Sunday at a raucous rally in Newark to oppose Republican efforts to dismantle and replace President Barack Obama's health care law.

Several high-ranking Democrats — including New Jersey's two U.S. senators, Bob Menendez and Cory Booker, and several members of its Congressional delegation — were among those taking part in the rally staged at the Robert Treat Hotel. It was one of several rallies staged around the country by Democrats ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.

Trump has promised a speedy repeal and replacement of the law that was one of Obama's proudest achievements.

But speakers at the Newark rally stressed that many people may lose their coverage or face other issues if the law is repealed, especially if adopting a replacement plan is not done in tandem with any repeal effort.

2. Booker Is One of the Most Liberal Members of the Senate

But, I expect, the Russian/Right wing propaganda machine will start attacking him from the left, as well as the right, regardless of his actual record.

3. Oh I agree completely...the unhinged attacks on him have been ridiculous

I disagree with Booker on a couple issues, charter schools being one, and his Bain Capital comments in 2012 being another, but as you said, these attacks look like a well orchestrated attempt to disrupt our leadership and Booker has proven to be a progressive leader on the rise.
