Cindy Sheehan arrested in House gallery
Tuesday, January 31, 2006
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Peace activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Tuesday in the House gallery after refusing to cover up a T-shirt bearing an anti-war slogan before President Bush's State of the Union address.
"She was asked to cover it up. She did not," said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman, adding that Sheehan was arrested for unlawful conduct, a misdemeanor.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail, Schneider said. (full story)

NOTE: Sheehan was in the gallery as a guest of California Representative Lynn Woolsey. The Washington NBC station reported that Sheehan's T-shirt read "2245 Dead - How Many More?" This is just another example of a president unwilling to acknowledge the truth.
Don't agonize, organize ... that's my mantra. Change won't happen unless you work to make it happen! But sometimes even your best efforts don't provide the results you were looking for. Or sometimes a situation is just so completely outrageous that all you can do is say ... YIKES!
