A group of people took a stand outside the Watertown office of Congressman Bill Owens Tuesday.

They held signs and wrote letters to demonstrate their opposition to President Obama's healthcare reform bill.

"I think they're taking a way too broad approach to try to fix some rather simple solutions," says protestor Varick Ready. "There's a lot of things in there that aren't necessary."

Nancy Foster drove from Massena to deliver a letter she wrote to Congressman Bill Owens.

"I feel that you're saddling my grandchildren with a debt they cannot afford to pay," says Foster, who says the cost of the bill bothers her the most.

Of course, there are also people supporting the bill.

Officials at the Service Employees International Union are threatening to withdraw support from Democrats who vote against the bill if it loses.

Despite the pressure to pick a side, Rep. Owens says he'll decide how he'll vote when he sees the bill.

"I'm not influenced by what other people are saying," says Owens. "I'm influenced by what I believe to be the facts, and the bill and how it's going to impact the people of the district."

It's also possible the bill could pass the House without a direct vote.

Nancy Pelosi is pushing a measure that would deem the Senate bill to be passed, if a package of changes is approved.

Owens says he has concerns about the Senate bill, including small business taxes and a potential $4-$5 billion dollar hit to New York state.

President Obama is hoping to get the bill passed this week, but right now, Owens says he's not ready to speculate on whether or not that's going to happen.
