Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

More About House Gallery Protestor

As I mentioned earlier today, a protestor cried out from the House gallery in Washington, D.C., yesterday as a member was reading the portion of the U.S. Constitution dealing with the qualifications for the Presidency. Here is how The Washington Post reported the incident:

The reading was interrupted when the clock hit 11:31. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.) was reading from Article II, Section 1, the mandate that only a "natural-born citizen" may be elected president, when a woman rose in the public gallery and shouted: "Except Obama! Except Obama! Help us, Jesus! My name is Theresa..."

We know the woman's name was Theresa Cao. I will have more on Theresa Cao and this incident soon.
