More than two weeks after George Zimmerman was acquitted charges for the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, a group of protesters continue to stand their ground in the hallway near Governor Scott’s office in Tallahassee.

“We’ve really made ourselves at home here waiting on the governor to show some leadership,” said Philip Agnew, the director of the Dream Defenders, the protesters that remain in Tallahassee.

The protesters, after Governor Rick Scott continues to deny their demands to call a special legislative session, have taken matters in their own hands by holding a People’s Session.

Rev. Jesse Jackson gave the protesters a hand Tuesday who visited the students and pledged to join them in sleeping at the Capitol as they continue to bring attention to their cause.

The People’s Session was considerably shorter than an official session. It took about 15 minutes for the opening day processions, held in the Senate side of the historic Capitol. The normal moment of prayer was observed and the Pledge of Allegiance recited, and then a series of resolutions — more nonbinding than usual because of the nature of the event — were approved unanimously by the group of protesters.

One called for Trayvon Martin Day to be observed every Feb. 5. Another called for the pardoning of Marissa Alexander.......

Why hasn’t the FL Governor had the State Troopers drag these dregs of society out of the Capitol so normal business there can be done?

Scott is a wimp!

Democrats are Law-Less

Republicans are Ball-Less

If this doesn't show both sides, I don't know what does.

Why are they allowed to stay in the capitol??

Can the TEA Party do this?

Can we do this in all 50 state capitols?
