WE WILL NOT BE SILENT CAMPAIGN DROPS 30-FOOT BANNERS
in Hart Senate Office Building Atrium on Thursday, January 4, 2007

Washington DC:  Twelve activists interrupted the 110th Congress 
opening celebrations, successfully hanging monumental banners in the 
Senate Office Building.  The banners read "WAR", "TORTURE", "LIES", 
"WE WILL NOT BE SILENT"
The action demanded that representatives put an immediate end to the 
illegal occupation of Iraq, and bring to justice those responsible. 
"This is our first step" said Susan Kingsland, New York activist  "to 
let the members of Congress know that we are watching, and will come 
back again and again, until the U.S. policy of war, torture and 
illegal detention comes to an end."
