The Atlanta fall 1996 action was a stunner. Gingrich's people set up a meeting before we even arrived, where we hammered out the final agreement for the Speaker of the House to sponsor our bill MiCASA. On election eve we took over the headquarters of both major parties so they had to negotiate with us. We packed the jail till we were being kept out in the halls. We took over the Georgia Nursing Home Association and the highway in front of it. We ended our protest with a midnight Metro ride to the AHCA hotel, where their members attacked us and many of us wound up back in jail - but with the satisfaction of knowing we were getting under their skin.
