Shouting over the walls of power

The following video shows an event I took part in during February 2007 in front of Senator George Voinovich's downtown Columbus office, graciously video'd and uploaded to YouTube by Columbus activist Greg Hoke.

It was cold and windy as hell. We were there to demonstrate our conviction that Voinovich must support efforts to end the occupation of Iraq. MoveOn initiated the action, which took place in numerous states all over the country. They provided us with page after page of petition signatures and comments from a long list of concerned dissenting Ohioans, and we read them over the p.a. system, chanted and conversed.

Eventually, we were allowed into a meeting room in Voinovich's office and were given an audience by a seemingly sympathetic and concerned assistant. Voinovich had been expressing misgivings about the war for a while and seemed to be ready to make a serious move, but each time we thought he was ready, he only disappointed us.

I first appear in a big orange coat at about 6 mi. 42 sec., then several times after, reading petition signatories' names and comments.
