BREAKING! Activists Occupy Frist's Office
BREAKING! Activists Occupy Frist's Office

Submitted by bob fertik on Thu, 2006-04-27 19:34. Activism | Cindy Sheehan | Nonviolent Resistance

Urgent: call Senator Frist's office at 202-224-3344 and demand that he meet with the Iraqi women.

David Swanson just called from Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's office to report that he and a group of women activists are occupying the office to demand a meeting with Senator Frist to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

The activists include three Iraqi women who testified at this morning's Out of Iraq hearing:

Dr. Dahlia Wasfi
Aseel Albanna
Faiva Al-araji (right)

They are joined in the protest by:

Cindy Sheehan
Ann Wright
Medea Benjamin
Gael Murphy

The Iraqi women want to meet with Frist today because they are leaving the U.S. tomorrow. They represent the 82% of Iraqis who want the U.S. out of Iraq.

Urgent: call Senator Frist's office at 202-224-3344 and demand that he meet with the Iraqi women.

14. If he wants to end the occupation, he will have to work to end the
occupation of Iraq.
Sounds fair to me.

18. DU artists, we could use some visual aids: Chicken Hawks hiding from women
It might be good to give Americans a visual image to hold in their minds of how their leaders cower.

Republicans seem willing to spend outrageous sums to create photo ops. There is a reason: images have impact.

If they choose to continually run from women with legitimate grievances, we best be showing side of them!

25. I just called
I asked if the Senator was going to meet with the women. The guy said that the ladies left. They were very peaceful but that the Senator had a very important meeting he could not miss. I asked him what that meeting was because 85,000 people were just dying to know - Senator Frist was meeting with Josh Bolten.

28. Humph....
Whoever I talked to said they asked to meet with Frist, were told he had another meeting at that moment, and that they hung around for a bit and left. Said they didn't make a scene or anything.
