Mike Honda Town Hall in Los Gatos: Report Back
Rep. Mike Honda supports a Single Payer Plan for Health Care Reform. Democrats and Single Payer propenents cheered wildly when he spoke at Santa Clara University at a Town Hall earlier today. Then the Congressman went to Los Gatos, for Town Hall Number Two.

Granny Essie led the Raging Granny caravan from Santa Clara to Los Gatos for a second Town Hall sponsored by US Congressman Mike Honda late this afternoon.
Grannies reported: One annoying man in a suit pestered people lined up to enter the town hall who were clearly in support of health care reform. The Grannies sang to him: *Shoe Fly Don't Bother Me* and led the queue in some Raging Granny Single Payer Songs.
The same man bothered people as they lined up to ask questions within the auditorium and was summarily removed by security, bringing up a cheer from those who had come to hear the Congressman and ask questions.
Later, as Honda's supportive listeners exited the building after the event, about 100 "Tea Party Patriots" stood outside the doors of the building and shouted at the attendees, waving flags and referring to themselves as "real Americans". Local police made them move so as not to block the peaceful exit of Single Payer and health care reform proponents.
