Washington Business Journal: 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.

Emanuel finally gave up trying to be heard over the chants, and retreated to a caucus room where Democrats were meeting.

The Democrats who as of tomorrow will control both Houses of Congress have a problem – DEMOCRATS.

Here is video from today’s House Office Building Action:

Sheehan says she has nothing against lobbying reform, but she and her fellow anti-war activists want Democrats to know they will keep pressuring Congress to end the war in Iraq.

“We wanted the Democrats to know they’re back in power because of the grass roots,” Sheehan says.

The anti-war activists held their own Capitol Hill press conference earlier in the day before deciding to attend the lobbying reform press conference as well.

Peace activist Cindy Sheehan(C) speaks before reading the names of US soldiers killed in Iraq during a rally in front of the White House in Washington, DC. Sheehan and about a dozen other peace protesters demonstrated at the House of Representatives to urge Democrats to aggressively investigate the war in Iraq.

So, why aren’t the Democrats going to investigate the Iraq War? Are the Democrat leadership politicians like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid abandoning the LEFT?

Appears so……..

But will the LEFT let it go?

No way – they want to IMPEACH BUSH.

A video narrated by Cindy Sheehan shows what is in store for the Democrats tomorrow:

BUSH MUST GO! If war crimes, torture, & crimes against humanity are not reason to impeach, what is?
