Occupy Iowa - Iowa City Denies Bachmann

IOWA CITY, Iowa  (AP)  The Hamburg Inn in Iowa City has long been a popular stop for presidential candidates, but it probably won't be high on Rep. Michele Bachmann's list anymore.

About two dozen activists with Occupy Iowa City packed the diner before Bachmann arrived Thursday, then loudly chanted in unison as she tried to mingle with supporters. Their chant blasted the Minnesota congresswoman's position on gay rights, health care and taxes and ended with: "You're not wanted here. So go, just go."

The restaurant's manager says the campaign blared Christmas songs over a sound system to drown out the protesters. Police arrived as tensions rose, but no one was arrested.

Bachmann seemed undeterred. Before leaving, she thanked the owner, praised the food and said it was great to be in Iowa City.

Senate still in Sunday morning sessions

When can we see this indirect Republican filibuster end?  Obama needs to stop his delays of a basic vote.  The country can go into a default and the delays have continued to instill fear with the stock market.

So much is at stake and compromise can't be found for the good of the "Middle Class".  So sad that the "tax cuts" that we have been using obviously don't work.

A vote is scheduled for 12pm Sunday afternoon 7/31/11.
