Nearly 90 people lined the sidewalk on Hohman Avenue in front of the Federal Courthouse in Hammond, IN, the location of Senator Evan Bayh’s office, on Monday, July 27, to demand that the Senator vote no to government-run healthcare.
It was part of a statewide Tea Party protest of Obamacare. Northwest Indiana Patriots obtained the permit that was required to allow this peaceful exercise of First Amendment rights on Federal property. The Lake County Tea Party organization also participated in the event. The protest began at 4:30 p.m. and ended at 6:30 p.m. There was a police presence throughout.
The air was filled with signs, American flags, honking horns and shouts of Freedom and Thank you for the support of people driving by.
