Mitt Romney campaign office occupation SODaPOP

In a day-before-the-caucus effort to obtain from Governor Mitt Romney a pledge to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq by April 2009 if he is elected President, nonviolent actors representing Voices for Creative Nonviolence and the Des Moines Catholic Worker community converse with campaign staff, display photos of Iraqis, and chant the names of Iraqis and Americans who have died in the Iraq War. Four are arrested.

Obama for President!

[BethelPrescott]

Thanks for doing this, folks.

The only way we're going to get an end to this war, it seems, is through actions like this. The politicians aren't going to make any moves toward peace without such pressure.

I hope your night in jail wasn't too uncomfortable.

McCain is annoying, condescending and a warmonger who wants US in Iraq for 100 years!

Romney represents Big Pharma and made all his money selling weapons to Saddam.

Huckabee uses New World Order CFR president Richard Haass as foreign policy advisor.

Giuliani obviously has too many skeletons in his closet.

Thompson is just downright boring and seems disinterested in the job.

Ron Paul, the only voice of reason, will be president.

I don't like Romney, but I don't hippies worse.

Thank you, folks, for your commitment to peace and your sacrifices on behalf of it.
