April 15, 2011, as the House passed the brutal 2012 Budget Resolution on Friday, April "".During the debate, nine protesters were removed from the House gallery. Sitting in various parts of the visitors' chambers, the protesters, mostly young men and women, would stand up one-by-one and ad lib lyrics to the "Star Spangled Banner" and "We Shall Overcome"."
April 21, 2011 at a breakfast with Obama, some of his donors sang a

April 2011. The arrest of young, pregnant women and young mothers,
students at Catherine Ferguson School in Detroit, Michigan. The
students and one teacher were arrested for protesting the closing of
their school, as they were sitting in the library and refusing to leave
the building. The police were not gentle. The direct action takes part
toward the end of the whole segment, but the entire video, by Rachel
Maddow, is well worth watching. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/42725827#42725827
April 27, 2011 at Hancock Air Base near Syracuse, NY, Thirty-seven arrested as they protest use of Drones.
Imagine if we were to go to all the legislatures, local and national, all events where officials gather, and wherever there is injustice - and let the gangsters and mobsters there who are robbing and murdering not only us, but also at least seven generations after us, know that we are there not only watching them but also resisting in real time. We must heal our country and our beloved and beautiful planet Earth.
