anti war protesters..."Not everyone is thrilled..."
SAN FRANCISCO (March 13) -- San Francisco, meet Crawford, Tex.
Using a tactic usually trained on the home turf of President Bush , a group of protesters from Code Pink, a women's antiwar group, have camped in front of the home of Speaker Nancy Pelosi here, bringing their message -- and mattresses -- to the doorstep of the nation’s highest-ranking Democrat .
"Not everyone was thrilled, of course. Sandra Wilder, one of Ms. Pelosi’s neighbors, said the protesters had gone too far. "To be sleeping on the sidewalk, camping out, littering," Ms. Wilder said as she drove by in a black sedan. "I'm just fed up. It's just aggravating the neighbors."
Ms. Blome said she understood that the protest might be an invasion of privacy but believed it was the only way to make herself heard. Her group has also paid several unannounced visits to Ms. Pelosi's office here, with similar results. " |
