I'm not sure if I can get away from work to join you, but I'll try.

Just a suggestion for future events like this: Those of us who do work in the DC area are more likely to be able to attend if the timing of the event is set closer to lunch hours. It is difficult to go to work and leave mid-morning or late afternoon -- most times the entire morning or afternoon would need to be taken off using personal leave and that might not be an option on short notice. If events were scheduled between 11-3 or 12-2, more people would be able to adjust their lunch hours to attend.

It is truly a sad day in American history when a minority group of Democratic Party Senators can redefine the meaning of the Constitution and use obstruction tactics and the politics of personal destruction to smear a highly qualified, minority judicial candidate like Miquel Estrada -- especially, a candidate who came to this country as an immigrant and, through his own hard work and dreams, has become a fine example of what one can accomplish living in America.

I did not want people calling up the police from 2000 M Street and saying that a group of protesters are forcing them to remain in the building at lunchtime.
