More than 40 people gathered Friday morning in the freezing rain to meet U. S. Rep. Charlie Wilson (D-Ohio 6th District) as he arrived for the TechGROWTH Ohio seminar at the Lafayette Hotel on Front Street in Marietta. The protesters carried signs noting their disapproval with Congressman Wilson's votes on several issues, especially government health care. The group included members of the Marietta 9-12 Project and T.E.A. (Taxed Enough Already) Party, as well as people from Athens and Cambridge.
