Four of us anchored the line at the Ajo gate of the Tucson VA this morning from 6:30-8:30am for the shift change.

Response rate was similar to the last few weeks, with somewhere between 75%-85%, with 3 very observable negatives. There was a definite head skake of ‘no’, a bouncing ‘bird’, and a ‘get a life’ from one, who was either going in for services or to work… The cognitive dissonance of these individuals is astounding! What elese can I say. Whether they are looking to be serviced or going to  work there. It’s mind-boggling how they can be against people protesting the intentional erosion and defunding, the push to privatize the healthcare of our veterans.
