With shouts of "Kill the bill!" and "Thank you, Mr. President!" demonstrators staked out their positions on health care legislation today outside the Arcadia University gymnasium where President Obama urged support for reform.Tea-party activists who oppose the legislation outnumbered supporters of the president's efforts with about 200 sign-wielding, slogan-shouting tea partiers attending a morning news conference before the president's arrival."At stake for America is our future, our independence, and our liberty," said Steve Lonegan, a former New Jersey gubernatorial candidate and the state director for Americans for Prosperity, a conservative public policy group.
