Anti War Liberals attack the New Direction Congress- Cindy Sheehan disrupts Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel’s Press conference

Published by Karl under Democrats, Sheehan, congress

Reported on Drudge:  Sheehan has been a consistent and persistent thorn in the side of any democrat who is not as zealous as she is.  She has called out Hillary and other lukewarm Anti-War Democrats, and now she has taken aim at a larger target.

Congress in general.

At issue here was her demanding they stop funding the war ahead of all other issues, where as the Democrats had ethics reform as their first new agenda item.

Protesters disrupt press conference on lobbying reform

House Democrats tried to unveil their lobbying reform package today, but their press conference was drowned out by chants from anti-war activists who want Congress to stop funding the Iraq war before taking on other issues.

Led by Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a slain soldier, the protesters chanted "De-escalate, investigate, troops home now" as Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., began outlining the Democrats’ plans to ban lobbyist-funded travel and institute other ethics reforms. The press conference was held in the Cannon House Office Building in an area open to the public.
