4 Arrested at Sen. Liebermans Offices

In Connecticut, four people were arrested Tuesday at the Hartford offices of independent Senator Joseph Lieberman. The protesters held a sit-in after trying to meet with Lieberman about his donations from the insurance industry. Lieberman has faced criticism following his recent vow to back a Republican filibuster if the public option is included in a final healthcare reform bill. The protest follows Thursdays arrest of fifteen people at Liebermans offices in Washington, DC. Four of those protesters remain in jail after refusing to give their names to police. The protesters say theyll continue their jail stay until Lieberman agrees to meet them.
