The protest took place as the Senate was set to vote on the latest piece of Obamas jobs agenda, a $60 billilon infrastructure spending bill, along with an alternative GOP surface transportation bill. Both were expected to be defeated on mostly party line votes.
An estimated 10-20 protesters entered McConnells personal office in the Russell Senate Office Building. McConnell primarily uses a separate office in the Senate. McConnell aides and Capitol Police officers said the protesters were respectful and not confrontational. They were from the group Our DC, which advocates for the unemployed, and were demanding an audience with the Republican leader.

Oh wow a few dozen, was that generous enough?
Those thoughtful folks forced the closure of a daycare Here in Seattle. Plus we are only at a half million in extra security costs. What a win for the people.

Frankly I'm surprised it is so peaceful. That's probably because of all the "social" programs that conservatives disapprove of..but mark my words..if you want communism or fascism to come to America..keep this wage inequality going. We have something close to 20 million people making 5K a year or less. That's not good. And once people realize that they have the numbers to do so..they will revolt.

As I recall the last time protestors showed up a Democrats office they called the cops and had them forceably removed.
