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. .."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was taken into custody by police in the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush's State of the Union address.
Police escorted Sheehan from the visitors' gallery above the House chamber after causing a disruption, said a Capitol Police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the incident were sketchy.
Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., had invited Sheehan to the address as her guest.
Did you type that with a straight face? Come on, MM...you know better than that.

Yep, gave her a formal invitation. The Congresswoman's spokesman said to the press that Cindy would behave herself. Proving that the Congresswoman and her staff are deranged.
That's it. I wonder why she hasn't gone over there to protest?
Naw, she was trying to unfurl an anti-war banner in the gallery.
Currently no. DU has been locked down to only registered members. Soon, as the infighting gets worse, only paying members will be allowed access.
He's probably used to paying.
Is MurryMom really Cindy Sheehan?
Think I'm going to hurl.
LOL
Simple question. Why have you been on this forum so long, when obviously you are a communist sympathizer?
Its not a bandwidth problem, its an internal fighting problem. When the posters really start attacking eachother Skinner locks it down to only registered members so others can't see whats going on. Then as the fighting gets worse and the big guns come out, only paying members are allowed access.
That's true, that's true. Some respect huh?
MurryMom is stupid.
But she's not THAT stupid.
Pop me up some, this has been a very good day for conservatives and watching the Rats squirm is elating.
"Nowadays when anybody dares to tell truth to power, he or she is either arrested and thrown in jail or ridiculed as insane."
MM is a drive by portapoddie.
