Reply #3: Sounds like a perfectly good thing to do.

These groups have earned the right to have a 'redress of grievances' from their elected representatives. These folks have suffered from the policies in Iraq and have suffered because of bad policies concerning the troops and their treatment.

This is what a real democracy looks like, people meet with their elected Senators, argue out what they fervently believe and then are free to protest when said Senator (or Rep) doesn't respond the way they want. That's democracy folks!

I hope it does bother Sen. Kerry. (Not the protest itself, but the sentiments behind it.) I hope he does pause and think about it. It's what he's supposed to do as a US Senator. (It's what the good ones do any way. The bad ones call dissent unpatriotic and run away.)

EDIT: Plus I think the situation bothers JK for all the reasons it bothers us. I think he is he is hoping for something specific to happen, but is starting to rethink this. I really do.
