~snip~ From now until his date of resignation, CODEPINK Women for Peace will hold a vigil outside of the Justice Department demanding Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' step down. This persistent and colorful protest started in various hearings and testimonies of Gonzales and is now brought to the front steps of the Justice Department. "It is an affront to all Americans that Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General, continues to lie and obfuscate about his role in circumventing rule of law", said Ret. Col. Ann Wright, a regular participant in this daily action. "Yesterday, a lot of folks were just watching us out their windows, and today we were getting thumbs up and people waving- who knows what will happen tomorrow?" says Liz Hourican of CODEPINK Arizona, who has been a regular figure in representatives' offices and in the halls of Congress these past months.

WHERE: Gathering at 9th and Constitution, the front entrance of the Justice Department

WHEN: 11:30am daily until Gonzales' resignation

PHOTO OPPS: Great photo opportunities, women and men in orange Guantanamo-style jumpsuits and banners on signs with messages of "Resign now!" "Stop the Torture!" and more. ~snip~
