It's a Movement, It's a Party, It's Resistance on Capitol Hill
By David Swanson
Oil towers and windmills in Independence Avenue, all the doors to Congressional Office Buildings blocked, music blasting, dancing polar bears, a faux Blackwater patrol, a reborn SDS, traffic blocked by a wall of kids, everyone arrested, traffic restarted, another group blocking the street again, including Ted Glick who still hasn't eaten, corporate reporters and staffers annoyed they can't get across the street but rather uninterested in why, chants of Arrest Bush Not Vets and Arrest Bush Not Kids, banners declaring No War No Warming, code pink, billionaires for warming, more dancing polar bears,
racially and age mixed activists for the first time getting serious and having fun doing it, groups marching in the road and chanting on nearby corners occupying hundreds of Capitol Police (in shorts in October!), equipment confiscated and people (including our friend Zool, who had planned to be arrested later inside the Capitol) arrested haphazardly with no warning, a few people in tears, the old folks learning where the juvenile jail is, and a chant of Resistance Is Forming, No War No Warming. It's a beautiful day in Washington DC. DemocracyCellProject, Fox, Reuters, Washington Post, WaPo video, CNN, Associated Press, AP version 2, AP version 3, DailyKos, The Hill, Indymedia, IndyMedia version 2, YouTube, Flickr, WhyNot News videos, Oil Change International, code pink DC, Democracy Now. It's the oil, stupid!

Shut down
Thanks for the update. I am disavowing any march that is not on a weekday from now on. This is the only way it matters.
66 Arrested
including 13 year olds and lots of other young people. Lots of young people at their first protest action ever, and they loved it.
The Backbone Campaign delivered Spine Awards to Rep. Pete Stark and Sen. Chris Dodd. Great fun. Watch for the videos. Code pink was there to add singing to the presentations.
Also watch for an AP story. There was an AP reporter closely covering the No War No Warming press conference at 11 a.m. on the West Lawn of the US Capitol.
Its A Movement---
God profusely bless and protect and guide everyone who took part in this
movement. There are millions of us out here who support everything
that took place and add our massive thought forms to the collective
demand for a world without wars -- a world based on reverence for
all life which is sacred to the Earth we are graced to live on.
Imagine if even 20% of us walked out of our jobs stopping all
production at billionaire corporations --- what it would do.
