Here is how we will end this war folks!

An email I just now received from an activist in DC:

I am riding a wave like I can barely describe right now... I went to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing this morning knowing it was about "Iraq options", but had no idea Henry Kissinger would be there... my heart was beating SO hard, but could not sit by and listen to Kissinger and a fat cat Republican Senator talk about how we needed to be in Iraq "until the job was done"... SO, I stood up, cutting them off in mid sentence, and yelled, "The American people voted to end the war in Iraq!" and held up a small banner I had made that read "Bring Service People Home Now".

I was escorted out of the room by Capitol police and went with them peacfully... they detained me for about 10 minutes, then let me go without arrest or citation. In fact, they said I could stay in the building if I would not go back in the hearing. So, I hung around outside the hearing room so people could see that I had not been arrested or otherwise harmed.


Peace & Freedom,
Midge

5. There should be one protester for every single hearing that is open to the public.

If only I had heart and muscle enough to organize such a feat. Alas, it's far beyond my means.
