This small protest is just the beginning. As people wake up to what is being done to them and their fellow citizens, as they wake up to what is happening to our country, these demonstrations will become more frequent. We have the right to question and petition our government.

They can clear the gallery as many times as they like but we will keep trying to exercise our rights. There is no way this isn't going to become a nationwide protest over the corporate takeover of our country.
