This is pretty cool
Link: Raw Story
At least three AIDS activists were arrested on Tuesday after they and other naked demonstrators briefly took over House Speaker John Boehners (R-OH) to protest budget cuts to health care services.
Activists from ACT UP, New York ACT UP, Philadelphia ACT UP, Housing Works and the Student Global AIDS Campaign stripped down in the lobby of the Speakers office and began chanting to send Congress a message ahead of World AIDS Day on December 1.
Budget cuts are really rude, thats why we have to be so nude! the protesters shouted. Boehner, Boehner, dont be a dick! Budget cuts will make us sick!
After several warnings from Capital Police the protesters agreed to get dressed and leave the building. But after media left, activists said at least three of the women who had been nude were arrested on charges of lewd conduct and indecent exposure. No male protesters were reportedly arrested.

(4,325 posts)We women should have the same right to run naked as men have. How can they take them to jail but not the men????
I am ready to join women from all of this country who want the same rights as men. Let's do it.

btw- perhaps the term "shitload" is the wrong one to use to describe a group of naked people. not very good imagery.

(4,734 posts)that no one has mentioned. I have no problem with nudity, and I think it is great these people woke up the press with their protest.
Unfortunately, the women who were charged with "indecent exposure and lewd and lavicious behavior" could possibly be looking at being put on a national sex offender registry for ten years, their photos and addresses listed. Basically having their lives ruined and put in personal danger by right wing lunatics and other weirdos. People have actually had this happen to them for taking a wiz in public while drunk.
