Some brave woman in the house gallery yelled bring the troops home

[liberaldemocrat7]

interrupting Al Maliki's speech.

Good for her. She got to say what alot of people want to say but get placed in a free speech "zone"

Today she made the house of representatives a free speech zone.

3. I saw it! She was awesome. She got in the word OCCUPATION,

as well. Al Maliki seemed a bit rattled by the interruption.

5. Thanks to the little lady, she got to repeat her plea quite a few times

before "they" silenced her. Bravo! Bring all our troops home now!

6. WOW - thumbs up to the brave lady! She said what most of America

wants to say. Stop the occupation of Iraq, bring the troops home, and allow the powers that be established in Iraq to start running the country. Terrorism is their problem as well, not just ours.

7. In one of the propaganda booklets handed out by Congress,

the tale is told of an American escorting an Englshman around the House chambers and saying, "Here, sir, the people rule."

Yeah. Sure.

But at least one of the people got her voice heard today.

Three cheers for a very brave woman!
