A group of about 6 activists from San Diego is currently occupying Diane Feinstein's office. The group is called \"San Diegans Opposed to Bush's First Illegal War\" and this is their second CD action. During the war, they obstructed the entrance to the San Diego federal building by laying down around the doors.

Today they are in the office of Diane Feinstein, on 7th and B in downtown San Diego. There is also a rally outside in front of the building in support of the people occupying her office. The SD Union Tribune is there as well as 3 corporate TV camera crews.

The rally outside began at the civic center, and then marched to Feinstein's office building once the occupiers had entered her office. The people in her office have a contract with America for her to sign, which demands that she admit that the war was wrong and immoral, that she represents her constituents and speaks out against the war, and that she comes clean about the secret intelligence data with which she justified her vote for the war.

More updates will be posted as the situation continues.

They have faxed the contract to her Washington office.\r\n\r\n- They are still occupying her office at 750 "B" Street, Suite 1030 (on the 10th floor) and they need people's support! If you can go there any time today, it would be a great help. If you can bring food, that would be awesome. They will need the most support at 5pm when the office is closing and the police will probably try to extract them.\r\n\r\n...cross posting from sf...\r\n\r\nthis demo is awesome. we need more of these around the country. impeach that lying frat boy now! its amazing that with 400,000 people calling for an investigation, our govt is dragging its feet. thats more real human sentiment than there was around impeaching clinton. \r\n","author":"lotus","parent_id":74384,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-07-25 18:31:31","modified":"2003-07-25 18:31:31","fileurl":""},{"id":74453,"heading":"You Folks Are Heroes!!!","article":"Thanks so much for your courage, from other patriots who can't be there today.

You have no actual evidence she looked at anything. My guess is if she even *heard* about it at all, it went like this, "Tell them I've seen and will consider there offer, but get these nuts the hell outta my office." I don't blame her. These people didn't belong there.","author":"si","parent_id":74384,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-07-26 10:25:57","modified":"2003-07-26 10:25:57","fileurl":""},{"id":74570,"heading":"Congrats","article":"You guys rock!
