Congressmen arrested
The title of this post does not refer to being arrested for not doing their job, although one could wish something as drastic as arrest would have some effect on our leaders. Seven Congressmen - John Lewis of Georgia, Keith Ellison of Minnesota, Joseph
Crowley of New York, Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, Al Green of Texas, Raul
Grijalva of Arizona, and Charles Rangel of New York - were arrested along with other protesters at yesterday's Camino Americano rally on the National Mall for Congress to act on a comprehensive immigration bill. All are Democrats. Lewis has been arrested five times as a member of Congress - twice at
Washington's South African embassy to protest apartheid, twice outside
the embassy of Sudan to protest genocide in Darfur, and at the
immigration rally.
