Here's the story so far:
Six Orange County peace activists (members of Military Families Speak Out) were arrested for refusing to leave the offices of Cong. Loretta Sanchez yesterday morning, after spending the night there.

She freely admits that her
vote for war funding was motivated by a need to bring defense spending to California.
We are still waiting to hear what support from the local peace community the Six might request of us.
In the meantime, if you would like to call or write Sanchez' office and ask her to drop the charges,
