I just received a phone call informing me that a bunch of folks are staging a sort of sit in down at Maria Cantwell’s office in the federal building right now, demanding that she clarify her position on the war to her constituents. They want to know if she supports the demand to remove troops from Iraq ASAP, and they’re not leaving until the federal marshals come in to kick them out/arrest them (rumor has it that’ll be around 5:30). If she doesn’t support the removal of the troops, they’d like her to sponsor a public forum to state just why not.

I’m stuck in the office all afternoon, but if anyone heads down there to check things out, let me know what you see.
