Young People speak out against the Iraq War.

In the fall of 2007, in the 5th year of the U.S invasion of Iraq, a small group of Des Moines Iowa area high school students occupied U.S. Senator Charles Grassleys, Des Moines office, in the Federal Build. This was a simple yet profoundly courageous act by these young people, in direct defiance of respected authority figures. It is both inspiring and challenging to all Americans who passively accept what government figures tell them and media professionals parrot back as policy, for the supposed protection of American "values and way of life". If more people would take there citizenship as seriously we could have ended this debacle of a war a long time ago.
