War Protestors Interupt Senate

[Hippie Staff]

War Protesters Arrested in Senate

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Capitol Police arrested 10 war protesters who began shouting in the Senate gallery Wednesday.


The protesters were quickly hustled into a hallway and out of the view of reporters. They had chanted, "The war is immoral! Stop funding the war!"—as police officers grabbed them and physically removed them from a visitors gallery overlooking the Senate floor (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=).

The demonstrators wore gauze shrouds over their heads and black shirts (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=) that read, "We will not be silent." One member said they represented the "National Campaign (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=) for Nonviolent Resistance."

Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas was speaking during debate on the federal budget when the protest broke out. She stopped talking while the protesters were removed.

Outside the chamber, police ordered reporters to leave the public hallway where authorities were detaining the protesters. An officer could be heard reporting that there had been 10 arrests in the incident.

I really want to put together an anti-war protest here.
Canadian troops are said to be staying in the Middle East till 2015!!
That's 6 years more than they were supposed to!

This whole "war on terrorism" is driving me CRAZY!
When soldiers come to my school to get kids to sign up for the army I swear I'm going to chuck something at them.
They got my friend Cameron to sign up for the reserves.
He's practically my older brother.

Last time I stole all there free stuff and ran.
It was the funniest thing xDD
I still have the silicone bracelet I stole, it makes me laugh.

I would love to participate in the anti-war protests but since my husband has the complete opposite views than me on everything (and he lets me know it everyday) he would refuse to watch the kids lol

protest definitely works. I was involved in many protests here in MA when Romney was trying to continue to allow that prejudice and despicable injustice to continue that wasn't allowing gay/lesbian couples to marry.

the protest paid off and we are the only state in the union to allow gay marriage.
