Non – violent, massive exposure, tiny woman. Priceless.
Global Exchange founder and Codepink leader, Medea Benjamin was arrested yesterday at a high visibility event.
She successfully got her message directly to the Prime Minister of Iraq while he was speaking to a joint session of Congress.
CNN and Reuters covered her slight frame being "escorted" out, slight from a twenty day or so fast. She and others are part of a nationwide, yeah, nationwide protest fast. Don’t believe me? Look at the list of those fasting for immediately bringing the troops home at: LOOK WHO'S FASTING!
