\nWASHINGTON, D.C.<\/p>\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
\nHIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS – WE WILL NOT BE SILENT<\/p>\n

Multiple actions occurred in the early afternoon today inside the Hart Senate Office Building. Eight New York
\nactivists were among the 15 plus arrested.<\/p>\n

TODAY, APRIL 26, 2007, A.R.T.* OCCUPIED THE HALLS OF CONGRESS IN A DRAMATIC TWO-PART ACTION.<\/p>\n

First, in a massive distribution, A.R.T. hand-delivered a 20-page tabloid petition to every representative. It contained documentary evidence for indictments, literally putting impeachment back on the table.<\/p>\n

Then, at 1PM, in a spectacular visual feat, A.R.T displayed the full text of Article II, Section 4 to the Senate as a 30-foot banner drop in the Hart Office Building atrium. A second 30-foot banner read “YOUR SILENCE YOUR LEGACY”. Organizers said, “We must magnify the refusal of Congress to uphold the Constitution. Their silence equals complicity in the flagrant crimes of this administration.”<\/p>\n
