Has any NY leftist group occupied any of HRC's offices yet? How about Obama's and other presidential candidates'?
. Yes on Barack Obama... From a posting to the [a-list]: Also of note in the 'Harrass The War Pigs' Theater Of Operations. The Occupation Project <...>: The kickoff of the campaign took place on February 5, with a total of 18 activists arrested while occupying the offices of Senators John McCain in DC, and Barack Obama and Dick Durbin in Chicago. <...> http://firemtn.blogspot.com/2007/02/wave-of-congressional-office.html =========================== The San Jose Mercury-News printed an AP story on the Occupation Project today as well. I was involved with occupation of Congressman Sam Farr's office last month. There's a YouTube of the first 13 minutes and critique here: <http://leighm.net/blog/2007/02/21/sfarr_070216/> I'm the guy in the red hat wanting to know how Sam Farr coould say he's not appropriating funds for the war when he's sponsoring the "Reconstruction and Stabilization Civilian Management Act." which would embed civilian contractors (of the construction,etc sort) into the US troops in Iraq so they can bulldoze it with bombs and come right in and reconstruct it (MickyDs & Starbucks perhaps). Sam Farr's aides didn't answer, and it seemed they were unaware of his sponsorship of, or of the existence of the act itself. BS. His aides (one of them Israeli, BTW) are well informed on ANY bill sponsorship Congressman Farr is involved with. According to informed sources I've contacted, the Reconstruction and Stabilization Civilian Management Act is a USAID front, and by extension, CIA black ops and pork barrel rolled into one funding bill. Point being, just because your congressman didn't and doesn't vote direct funding for the war means diddleysquat. The critter could still be a closet-warmonger This month, I'm playing hardball. No prisoners. A DEMAND for his redaction of sponsorship. If nothing else, I'm going to cause them the worst friggin' stress headache those 20-somethings who fancy themselves 'congressional aides' have ever had. Leigh
