Anyone hear about Code Pink members being arrested today?
Just saw a ticker on CNN but couldn't find any details. Anyone here know more? I assume this has something to do with their Occupation Project.

The women of Code Pink are my heroes! Please consider supporting their brave efforts for peace: http://www.codepink4peace.org/

"The White House is exptected to submit a new supplemental spending bill to Congress, and CODEPINK will join with Voices for Creative Nonviolence to launch Occupation Project, a campaign of sustained nonviolent civil disobedience to end war funding. As Kathy Kelly writes, "Now is the time for seriously strategizing about the best ways, in our hometowns, to engage in sustained civil disobedience at the offices of elected representatives, demanding that they vote against the supplemental spending bill..."

Let's hear it for CODE PINK!!!!!! IMHO these women deserve to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

3. Damn right I'm bumping my own thread
Because Code Pink is really putting it on the line for peace and they deserve more attention and respect than they've been getting -- even around here.

4. Update From The CNN Website
Code Pink anti-war protesters arrested at McCain's offices

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Several anti-war protesters were arrested in the lobby of Sen. John McCain's office suite in the Russell Senate Office Building Monday afternoon.

The group Code Pink said nine of its members were arrested after refusing police orders to leave. U.S. Capitol Police Sergeant Kimberly Schneider told CNN 10 members of the group were arrested, all for disorderly conduct.

Code Pink said the demonstration was one of more than two dozen similar protests across the country Monday, all part of The Occupation Project which will continue at congressional offices at least through the end of March.

The series of demonstrations began on this day because it is the fourth anniversary of the U.N. speech delivered by former Secretary of State Colin Powell outlining the threat Iraq posed to the world because of its supposed weapons of mass destruction programs, according to a press release issued by Code Pink....

5. Nothing to see here, move along now
How long before we're arrested for disorderly conduct in not leaving the country when we disagee with its policies?

One can only wonder.
