Dem protesters "occupied" Congressional offices in 2011... no insurrection They occupied the office of the Speaker of the House! <<Protesters sit in at Congressional offices Reuters December 6, 2011 3:33 PM MST Updated 12 years ago By Ian Simpson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Protesters brought their message about alleged economic unfairness to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, sitting in or outside several Senate and House offices. Anti-Wall Street Occupy DC protesters joined demonstrators from other groups in legislative office buildings, and police arrested one protester at the office of U.S. Representative Vicky Hartzler, a Missouri Republican, for unlawful entry, a Capitol Police spokeswoman said.

The offices of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, and House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, were among the targets.
