Who is paying for the town hall disruptions?

Where are these health care reform protesters coming from?.

Republicans would like to present these protests as grassroots, while Democrats would like to describe them as astroturf.

While I am sure some of these mislead individuals really believe the fear tactics Republican and Lobbyist organizations have been spreading about the numerous healthcare reform bills currently in legislation.....

There Are People Organizing These Events.

Lobbyist and Republican funded organizations such as,

• "Operation Embarrass Your Congressman." A website with instructions on how to disrupt town hall meetings, not actually participate in them.
  
• Conservatives for Patients' Rights- is a front for CRC Public Relations -- the conservative PR firm previously known as Creative Response Concepts. This is the same firm that funded 'Swift boat attacks" against John Kerry in 2004. It's head man is Richard Scott, who has raised over $20 million to fight health care reform.
  
• American Majority, headed by Lonny Leitner who was regional director for Bush/Cheny '04 and Ned Ryun, a Bush speech writer.

• Americans for Prosperity, led by conservative David Koch the 19th richest man in the world. Patients First - Art Pope is the president. He is an elite conservative who contributed so much to the North Carolina GOP they named their headquarters building after him. It's at 1506 Hillsboro Street.
  
• Patients First is responsible for bussing people around the country to the town hall meetings on health care reform with instructions and tactics to derail them.
  

I found these in a matter of minutes by searching yahoo yesterday morning before work.

I am sure there are many more.

Currently the Lobbying Disclosure Act does not cover attempts to create demonstrations. This means firms can fly operatives across the country and even pay protestors directly without telling anyone in the public or in Congress. The biggest industry has hired the most sophisticated firms in order to defeat public healthcare.
