And PoliticusUSA

And Reuters

The Hill live-streamed it

NBC, BBC, CNN Gawker and Rolling Stone all provide coverage and positive media attention 🙂

Some of these Democrats are straight from the 60’s where sit-ins and public protests were practically invented. Nice to see the old tactics pulled from the closet, dusted off and put to good use again!

UPDATE:
This is video of how it started-

Two young men wrote the perfect song.

Here are the lyrics to the song:

So you say this is human
Your heartbeat versus mine
Im in chains cause I’m choosing
showing love or living life
I shouldn’t have to leave where I stand
I shouldn’t have to change who I am
To count as a human
Feel my pulse
With your hand on my heart
You know it beats just as hard as yours
Feel my pulse
Feel my pulse
Can’t you see that im scarred
I’m just the same as you are so just
Feel my pulse
I wish I could reach them
And strip away what separates
It’s the same air we’re breathing
The same tears run down our face
So I don’t have to leave where I stand
And I don’t have to change who I am
To count as a human
Feel my pulse
With your hand on my heart
You know it beats just as hard as yours
Feel my pulse
Feel my pulse
Can’t you see that im scarred
I’m just the same as you are so just
Feel my pulse
