Occupation Project Meets Heavy Congressional Resistance

by Andrew
Representatives welcome occupying a foreign country with open arms but welcome those who wish to occupy their offices with locked doors.

Congressional Representatives seem perfectly content occupying a foreign nation. When the war is brought home, however, they seem particularly resistant. When a group of students and community members went to speak to their congressional representative, they found the office locked due to 'security concerns.' After further inquiry, staffers from another office informed them that the office will remain closed for the day because the staff was having an impromptu meeting off-site.

This marks a significant victory for the Occupation Project which has congressional offices around the nation reeling.
