The slogan, according to Sheehan at truthout:
"2245 Dead. How many more?"Exposing the slogan was apparently construed "unlawful conduct" because it constituted demonstrating or protesting in the Capitol, a misdemeanor. Perhaps the slogan should have been on a giant pin or ribbon.
Laurie Kellman of AP reports that Beverly Young, wife of Republican Representative C. W. Young of Florida, was also escorted out of the gallery for wearing a T-shirt with a slogan:
"Support the Troops - Defending Our Freedom."Sheehan was taken away by police but Young, apparently, did not suffer that treatment.
USA Today's blog On Deadline is keeping tabs on all this.
