Anti-war protesters switch tactics, target Democrats
By Jo Mannies
POST-DISPATCH POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
02/21/2007

For the past three weeks, waves of anti-war protests, sit-ins and arrests have become almost routine for Rep. Russ Carnahan's district office in Brentwood.

And the local band of activists behind the disturbances is just getting warmed up. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., appears to be their next target — on Tuesday, the group launched a sit-in at her downtown office. Four were arrested, released and fined $75 apiece.

The demonstrations are part of a national eight-week campaign, called The Occupation Project, that has been organized by a coalition of anti-war groups out to cut off funding for the Iraq War.

Dear Senator McCaskill,

Thursday and friday, you are going to be protested during your appearances in Springfield and Columbia for your current position regarding the war in Iraq. Many of the people taking part in these demonstrations are individuals who not only voted for you last November but worked hard during your campaign to get you elected.

I did not originate this call to action, but did forward it at the request of Missouri's Military Families Speak Out and Missouri's Iraq Veterans Against the War. At least two of the organizers of this action were in the meeting with your legislative aid Nicole when several Missouri constituents lobbied on January 29th for an end to Iraq War funding.

The Peoples’ Counter State of the Union Message
William Hughes
January 24, 2007
Originally published in American Chronicle

"Powerful republics are the most warlike and unscrupulous of nations." - Ambrose Bierce

Washington, D.C. - While the Liar-in-Chief, George W. Bush, was giving his so-called, "State of the Union," message inside the U.S. Capitol, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 23, 2007, demonstrators were outside robustly exercising their First Amendment Rights, on the west side of the building, near its reflecting pool. Close by is a monument to one of my heroes--Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. The protesters listened to voices which were truly representative of the electoral results of Nov. 7, 2006, on the real condition of this country. The speakers demanded the Iraqi War be immediately stopped and that impeachment proceedings be launched against both Bush and V.P. Dick Cheney for lying the country into that conflict, spying on our citizens, condoning torture, and for other violations of the U.S. Constitution.

What do you think about this? I am a transgender anti-war activist (see prior diaries) who has filed to run against Roy Blunt in the MO-7 Republican primary.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch published an article about me and my candidacy on the front page of their Sunday edition:

SPRINGFIELD, MO.

Hours before the start of the city's annual St. Patrick's Day parade, Midge Potts wore only a form-fitting corduroy jacket against blustery winds and temperatures hovering in the mid-40s. The coat was hot pink, like her jeans, her boots and the pair of ponytails in her hair. Her only green was the carnation in her lapel.

Potts is running for Congress.

One year ago, the Bush administration made great fanfare of turning over power in Iraq to the so called provisional government. After having dropped the rouse of attacking a sovereign nation in order to uncover weapons of mass destruction, President Bush expended much breath in proclaiming that the real reason for the U.S. military's invasion was to bring freedom and democracy to an oppressed people. But right now, democracy is being systematically suppressed in America. I know this firsthand, because in February I was arrested for criticizing the Bush Administration; I wasexercising my right to freedom of speech, which is a fundamental right of any democratic society.
