It's a Movement, It's a Party, It's Resistance on Capitol Hill
Submitted by davidswanson on Mon, 2007-10-22 13:55. Nonviolent Resistance

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, watch for news at code pink DC, whynot news,
grassrootsamerica, IVAW, al Jazeera, etc... It's the oil, stupid!

"Peaceable: the ability to interact peacefully.  A skill set similar to
social or emotional intelligence that is unfortunately rare in today's
American culture, but can be developed by all.  The Green Parties need to
lead the way in Peaceableness."
