PORT ANGELES — About 50 people are expected to line the Waterfront Trail outside the Red Lion Hotel on Friday to protest health care reform proposed by President Barack Obama, says Clallam County Republican Party Chairman Dick Pilling.
Pilling said party members will be involved in the protest — but that the local GOP is not sponsoring it.
“It is in fact a broad number of constituents that are coming together,” he said.
“They are unhappy with the fact that Congress doesn’t seem to be listening.”
Pilling said he has been involved in organizing the protest by suggesting the location and by providing information about it to potential demonstrators who contacted him.
He referred to himself as the “lightening rod” for people who want to protest.
No signs will be distributed by the party, he said.
