Yes on Barack Obama... From a posting to the [a-list]:

Also of note in the 'Harrass The War Pigs' Theater Of Operations.

The Occupation Project
<...>:
The kickoff of the campaign took place on February 5, with a total of 18
activists arrested while occupying the offices of Senators John McCain
in DC, and Barack Obama and Dick Durbin in Chicago.

===========================

The San Jose Mercury-News printed an AP story on the Occupation Project
today as well.

I was involved with occupation of Congressman Sam Farr's office last month.

There's a YouTube of the first 13 minutes and critique here:

I'm the guy in the red hat wanting to know how Sam Farr coould say he's
not appropriating funds for the war when he's sponsoring the
"Reconstruction and Stabilization Civilian Management Act." which would
embed civilian contractors (of the construction,etc sort) into the US
troops in Iraq so they can bulldoze it with bombs and come right in and
reconstruct it (MickyDs & Starbucks perhaps).

Sam Farr's aides didn't answer, and it seemed they were unaware of his
sponsorship of, or of the existence of the act itself.

BS. His aides (one of them Israeli, BTW) are well informed on ANY bill
sponsorship Congressman Farr is involved with.

According to informed sources I've contacted, the Reconstruction and
Stabilization Civilian Management Act is a USAID front, and by
extension, CIA black ops and pork barrel rolled into one funding bill.

Point being, just because your congressman didn't and doesn't vote
direct funding for the war means diddleysquat. The critter could still
be a closet-warmonger

This month, I'm playing hardball. No prisoners.

A DEMAND for his redaction of sponsorship.

If nothing else, I'm going to cause them the worst friggin' stress
headache those 20-somethings who fancy themselves 'congressional aides'
have ever had.
