Protesters removed after attempting to disrupt Bush speech

NEW YORK — A protester was removed from the Republican National Convention after starting to heckle President Bush during his speech.
Delegates tried to drown out the protester with chants of "four more years."
A short time later, a second protester surfaced, and a similar scene took place.
One of the two protesters removed was later identified by authorities as Jodie Evans, a 50-year old woman from Venice Beach, California.
She is founder of a women's protest group that calls itself "Code Pink."
That organization has staged or participated in several protests this week in New York, including Sunday's protest that drew hundreds of thousands of people. "
