And we should never allow that type of thing to happen again.

Pelosi seems to be on the right side of this issue, for now.
But, there are strong powers behind the curtain that could change all of that overnight.

Abbie Hoffman was right, they don't want us to belong to their party, we're dirty hippies who only want justice, and to stop the illegal foreign wars.
We're an embarrassment to the party leaders because we refuse to sit down and shut up.
