Check out this story at Daily Kos & take some action! This needs to make it to the public tv & newspaper in Oregon. (I'm in Illinois, sorry.) Does anyone know anyone in the press? Can you help make sure others in Oregon get this story?

2. This has happened in other offices as well,

There were some arrests in St Louis last week. And many arrests in DC - all over funding the damn war.

3. And this is democracy???

That senators/staff are not available to constituents, even when appointments/prior calls are scheduled? Don't we pay for their offices??? Don't we have a right to ask to see them or talk to staff member to voice our opinion???

4. I agree with you

It disgusts me. Some of the people in St Louis stood in the office and read names of the dead. Apparently that upset the people who worked in that office and they called the cops.

I know, it's insane, isn't it?

5. Un-Freaking-Real!

Just think - how 10% of the money wasted on this illegal war can feed how many hungry children in this nation?
How many schools can be funded?
How many roads and bridges can be repaired?
Our cities are falling down around our heads and the politicians are sending our tax money to a foreign land.
Now we have our very own politicians from out own state refusing to meet with their constituents!

This is just crazy!
