War protestors visit Repug Dana Rohrabacher's 'hood...

Anti-war protests come to congressman's lawn
About 35 members of Military Families Speak Out face off with Rep. Rohrabacher at his house in Huntington Beach.

HUNTINGTON BEACH – About 35 people, carrying anti-war signs, walked down the quiet street and knocked on the congressman's door. Surfing gear and a couple of children's strollers were on the porch. A window fan was working.

But no one answered.

The activists from Military Families Speak Out, three of them with sons serving in Iraq, went to a nearby park.

They returned with a giant mock check for an "endless war" and put it on the doorstep of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach. Then, one by one, they placed black combat boots on the grass. The boots had tags with names of soldiers killed in Iraq.

The activists, part of a national "house call" campaign to reach politicians during their recess, filled up the sliver of grass between the road and the sidewalk. They stood quietly for several minutes.

Rohrabacher has supported the Bush administration on the war in Iraq.

Then, the protesters started shouting: "Bring them home! Now!"

As the pitch rose, the congressman ran out of his grey stucco home. He was barefoot.

1. My grandfather was known to turn the sprinklers on when those he did
not want on his property persisted in being there. Did it to a number of door to door salesmen.

2. "Did he volunteer"? the SOB asks...not for an illegal war, she should
have yelled. This is one piece of filth that needs to be removed from office.

3. I love it!!!!
This is the kind of shit we should be doing all over the country. This is what real protesting is all about, take it where they live. They can ignore it anywhere else but you can't ignore someone who is screaming at you on your front lawn.

These clowns think they have a free ride and can isolate themselves from the people they represent. Screw 'em, they get no privacy, they deserve no privacy.

Peaceful protests are a waste of time.
