A group of protestors who have made pests of themselves in recent weeks to lobby against any changes to Obamacare by getting arrested at U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s office, showed up at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver Friday night trying to get arrested, again.
“This is the only way we can get Cory Gardner to talk to his constituents,” an unidentified protester told 7 News in Denver.
Gardner did talk with these same protestors about a week ago, and afterwards they refused to leave the office building and were arrested for trespassing.
On Friday, Gardner was trying to talk to his hundreds of constituents until he was rudely interrupted by chants of “No cuts to Medicaid, save our liberty!” by two protestors who were removed from the gathering but not arrested.

Save their liberty?
Liberty is the freedom from restrictions imposed by another’s behavior or political view. That’s the exact opposite of imposing taxes on one set of people to buy something for another group of people — in this case, Medicaid.
