Young GOP to stage health care tea party

although this is not in our area, its nice to see.


The newly formed Quad City Area College Republican Alliance, composed of young Republicans from several area colleges and universities, is sponsoring a Health Care Tea Party demonstration from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday in front U.S. Rep. Phil Hare's office at 2001 52nd Ave., Moline.

Participants are asked to bring their own signs, with no vulgar or inappropriate content, along with a canned good or other non-perishable item to donate to a local shelter.

"Young people in the 17th Congressional District aren't happy with their legislators right now," Mike Moehlenhof, president of the St. Ambrose University Republicans, said. "We want choice in our health care coverage, not a government takeover of the entire system. Phil Hare hasn't addressed young people at all on health care."
