According to Carl, a friend of mine works in the capitol,The war protesters were given access and leniency to deface government property. Public employees had to come in on their day off, at taxpayers' expense, to clean up the mess the protesters left behind. Capitol Police Chief Phillip Morse ordered his officers to fall back and allow the protesters to exercise what he called "their First Amendment rights" to spray paint the Capitol steps with graffiti. Defending his actions, Morse said, "The graffiti was easily removed by the staff. It is our duty and responsibility to protect the Capitol complex, while allowing the public to exercise their freedom of speech." He even ordered his officers not to arrest anyone! You know why??? The Capitol Chief of Police takes his orders directly from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, one of the demonstrators' most outspoken allies! It still is wrong to use our tax payers w/o let us know! Demos try gain the vote?? What do you think??
