VIDEO: Zombies Protest Rep. Dan Webster’s Vote To Kill Medicare, Say ‘Don’t Make Us Work Till We Die’

Conservative members of Congress have beenfeeling the heat all over the country, as a Main Street Movement of everyday Americans have been protesting their efforts to cut crucial services and public investment, including their vote to effectively end Medicare.

Yesterday, a group of citizens from a local activist group calling itself “Organize Now” protested outside a town hall being held by Rep. Dan Webster (R-FL), who faced a rowdy crowd at a town hall this week. The activists dressed as zombies and demanded that right-wing politicians stop gutting social programs and force them to “work ’till they die”:
