February, 2007, has seen an escalation in tactics by peace activists in the United States.
Grassroots citizen groups all over the country have organized strategically occupy the offices
of Congressional politicians who are either tacitly or explicitly supporting the war on Iraq.
Activists want their representatives and senators to agree to vote against George Bush's request
of $93,000,000,000 to extend the war.
