Veterans for Peace Message to Obama 12/16/2010 part 23 Ellsberg arrested ~ 131 Arrested

In this video Daniel Ellsberg is getting arrested.
10 days ago Veteran for Peace sent President Obama a letter requesting a meeting concerning the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It said that if he would not meet with concerned men and women who had served their country about the tragedies these wars have brought upon the USA and the world then we would come to the White House on the 16th of December and deliver our concerns using civil disobedience if necessary, which it was.
131 US Military Veterans, and concerned citizens disobeyed police and crossed barriers in front of the White House and stood, some attached by handcuffs and locks, demanding that the voice of PEACE & SANITY be heard.
For myself, not only being a member of Veterans for Peace, but being a retired police officer I found that the only thing I could do was to join my brothers and sisters in this plea for peace and justice.
The following are several videos I was able to take with my camera leading up to our arrests.
I was in good company.
It is a sin that mainstream media did not give such an event even a mention as far as I know.
If it had been Glen Beck and the tea party people all the channels would have been there.

You know, I've looked through all of these video's of the veteran protest on the white house and something seems to be missing......I've not noticed one "negro" face in the crowd but their sure as hell was plenty of communist negro cops doing the arresting. Isn't D.C. a town of mostly negroes?

I have to tell you, there are millions of college-educated people all over America that would be willing to walk to Washington D.C. and get arrested right alongside Daniel Ellsberg... 66% of America would be willing to chain themselves to the White House fence...
