**UPDATE** The former title of this article incorrectly stated that Nancy Pelosi was arrested. While she was present and spoke at the protest yesterday, she was not among the 8 members of congress who were arrested yesterday.

In Washington DC, 8 members of Congress were arrested yesterday for protesting outside of the capital. Whoops! I guess they forgot about passing the Patriot Act.
Austin Petersen writes yesterday at http://theLibertarianRepublic.com , quote,
Representatives John Lewis (D-GA) and Charles Rangel (D-NY) were arrested at 4:15 p.m. today in front of the U.S. Capitol building during the Camino Americano Rally for Immigrant Dignity and Respect. The rally occurred today and featured speakers like Julian Bond, Lila Downs and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
Reps Lewis and Rangel were arrested along with Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Joe Crowley (D-NY), Keith Ellison (D-MN), Al Green (D-TX) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL).
Authorities arrested the lawmakers for creating a disruption around the streets of the Capitol during the rally. 200 people were arrested along with the legislators for causing disorder.
Rep. Pelosi said, quote, “The time for immigration reform is now. Si se puede,” she yelled –“Yes we can.”
This is Rep. Lewis’ 45th arrest. That’s great if you’re already a member of Congress. But weren’t most of the people attending illegal immigrants? How will this arrest record affect their prospects for future employment in the US? Do you think they received the same treatment from jail staff as the members of Congress?
In another terrific story from http://TheLibertarianRepublic.com this week is that of an off-duty NYPD cop who voluntarily gave up his badge after 7 years. The reason? He was caught participating in that gang of bikers who “break-checked” an SUV on the highway and then later beat the driver in front of his wife and child, sending him to the hospital. It turns out not one, but 6 off-duty law enforcers were riding with this gang. And most people watching the video of this terrifying random assault were wondering to themselves, “Where were the police?” Turns out they weren’t only there, but they were the attackers! This information is only coming to light thanks due to cheap video cameras which captured the incident from multiple angles. Please, carry a camera and know how to use it for your own protection. Sometimes it is your only corroborating witness when it’s your word vs a cop.
JG Vibes writes at http://Intellihub.com that quote, last month, a homeless man in Boston named Glen James found over 40 thousand dollars in a backpack and turned it in. After the story went viral many people were moved by his honesty and decided to set up a donation fund. Now he finally has a home.
27-year-old Ethan Whittington set up an online crowdfunding campaign that brought in more than $150,000 in donations to make sure Glen never again be homeless or stand in line begging. Ethan said he felt compelled to help after reading about James’ good deed. quote, “We’ll also get him the medical assistance he needs and get him some job training. I absolutely think this will be a good ending for everybody. It’s kind of restored my faith in humanity, with all the negative things we hear on a constant basis. It makes you realize there are decent people in this world.”

Davi Barker, the Muslim Agorist, writes at http://SilverUnderground.com this week that Former KGB Agent Vladamir Putin has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for standing up to the United States earlier this year when Obama tried to start a war in Syria. Davi writes, quote,
However, Putin’s sudden twist towards non-interventionism seems politically motivated, as it is typically enforced through bellicose threats. He engaged in interventions of his own in Georgia and Chechnya and was a KGB agent earlier in life. Domestically, he jails and exiles political opponents and protesters. He has an openly hostile relationship with his own nation’s LGBT community.
Despite the fact that Putin’s efforts might have stopped a bombing campaign in Syria that could have escalated into a regional conflict or a world war, his unacceptable domestic policies disqualify him from being viewed as a champion of world peace. On the other hand, President Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize and bloodied it with drone and cruise missile strikes. Will the Nobel Prize squander its credibility by continuing to give out its peace award to politicians for narrow political reasons?” Why not instead support the FPP Peace Prize, a prize with a reputation for being awarded to actual peace-makers.
