Sightings: Jon Voight comes to protest health care reform bill

Spotted on the West Lawn of the Capitol before thousands of protesters chanting “Kill the bill” and “Can you hear us now?”: Academy Award winner Jon Voight with actor John Ratzenberger, best known for his role of Cliff Clavin on “Cheers.”

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who organized Thursday’s “House Call on Congress” against the health care reform bill referred to Voight as “a true national treasure,” playing on his role in “National Treasure: Book of Secrets.”

A prominent conservative in Hollywood, Voight said, “Obama has his own obsession to ram this health care bill through Congress and to turn America into a socialist country.”
