We are losing this country. I am at the Code Pink house in DC, where Lori has been released and the others are being held overnight. Des is going to be charged with assaulting a federal officer, a VERY SERIOUS offense. Liz was taken to the hospital--she is hurt.

I have four Canadian students staying at my house because their car is still being held and all of their papers and possessions are in the car--they cannot leave and the police are being quite horrible about it. The police made a mistake, mis-identified the vehicle, and seized it.

These kids are getting an eye and earful about what passes for freedom and democracy in the US.

We hear stories every week about criminal activities of our leaders. It is OVERWHELMING.

We in DC need you ALL to call into Congress and demand that they LISTEN. THEY SUPPOSEDLY WORK FOR US--on behalf of democracy and the Constitution. REMIND THEM.

Listen up, people!

2. Is there any reports on all that went down? Who all was arrested

and who got hart? This is just the beginning, it only gets worse from here...

3. I've been frustrated w/Code Pink but that confrontation was very powerful! If you are

going to take these war criminals on, you have to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Unfortunately, I don't know who could be appealed to for intervention on behalf of the protestors.

Congresscritters are too timid on such a thing.

Time for bravery.

I don't think I've the guts to do what that woman did.

4. Recommend. Maybe some DU'ers have an idea who might help the stranded students?

6. John Conyers of Michigan?

He strikes me as one who would be willing to stand up for these brave souls.

5. I hope they don't decide to make an example of Farooz,

or she'll be sticking around for a year or so.

9. K and R

I'm sure this administration hates Code Pink the most....* firmly believes women belong on leashes.

Be safe Code Pink....you have a million times the courage and strength of this evil cabal. Goddess goes with you.
