MoveOn.org targets Bayh

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - About a dozen protestors got together outside Evan Bayh's Fort Wayne office Thursday.

They were urging him not to block a vote on a health care overhaul.

The liberal activist group MoveOn.org put the rally together.

So far, Senator Bayh hasn't committed to a position on health care reform.
 

"We think that Hoosiers want real reform, real competition, and real choice, so basically we're here to let Evan Bayh know that this would be the fiscally responsible thing to do," said demonstrator Michael Oxenrider.

Evan Bayh's office sent us this statement:

"Senator Bayh is an independent voice in the United States Senate and will do what is right for Indiana. He hopes to have the opportunity to vote on a bill that will bring down the federal deficit and make health insurance coverage more affordable for Hoosier families and small businesses."
