Reuters Additional Information
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police at the U.S. Capitol arrested anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Tuesday, shortly before President Bush was to give his annual State of the Union speech, a police spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman, Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, said she had no immediate details.
Sheehan had been invited to be a guest at the address to a joint session of Congress by U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a California Democrat.
Sheehan, who became a central figure for the U.S. anti-war movement after her soldier son Casey was killed in the Iraq war, won wide attention with an anti-war vigil outside Bush's Texas ranch.
CNN said Sheehan was arrested after unveiling a banner and was being held on Capitol Hill for about an hour, which would keep her away from the address, which was set to start at 9 p.m. EST.
Sheehan and other activists were arrested in September for protesting outside the White House without a permit, a misdemeanor that carriers a $50 fine.

A newsroom type shares notes:
This from Sgt. Kimberly Schneider of U-S Capitol Police.... Cindy Sheehan was arrested in the gallery of the house floor tonight and charged with demonstrating in the Capitol--a misdemeanor. ...Sgt. Schneider says she was wearing a T-shirt with a slogan on it and was asked to cover it up. Sheehan did not cover it up and she was arrested. ....She is being processed at Capital Police hd and is expected to be released at some point tonight. The misdemeanor charge carries one year in jail. .."
What class?
LOL!
Further proof that the Dims have taken all leave of their senses.
I may just start some popcorn.
I always fall for that! Now I need to shower again but my skin will be crawling for at least another hour.
That ditzy broad Woolsey needs to be arrested for this. She has endangered the life of the U.S. President. Commie bit*h.
Stupidity is not a crime, this is a police state....
Impressive bunch, aren't they?
Ha... half the DUmmies are yelling "fascism," the other half are saying "d00d stfu u r teh SUCK its against teh r00ls rotflmfaowtfbbq!!!!11!one!1!eleven!1!!1!"
I havent been over to DUmmieville in a while and this time Im glad I did. I was just about to puke till I read this.
">> just great
now we look bad i think.
thanks.
i hope shes happy, she could have made a difference by going in and protesting silently.
if she did something outrageous to get arrested, im mad.
hate me if you want for saying that, but things are getting bad and we need action not stunts. <<
We do not know why Cindy Sheehan was arrested. You are really speculating. Who's side are you on anyway?"
I dare say that member just got banned.
Representative Lynn Woolsey, Democrat from the California Sixth Congressional District.
She's a nutcase looney-toon.
They don't have any class....cause it rhymes with as$...and they is one.

I compare today's DUmmies with the Nazis of the later 30's; there's not much difference.
Shes Back!
Aren't we all? ;)
That's what makes this place extra-special....except for Friday mornings...
