30 D.C. Protesters Occupy Sen. McConnell Office 
------------------------------------------------



In Washington, D.C., about 30 protesters occupied part of the office of
Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mc Connell Thursday to protest Republican
opposition to President Obama's jobs bill. The protesters were from a
new group called "Our DC." The protest came as Senate Republicans
blocked $60 billion in funding for roads and infrastructure projects.
Republicans opposed the bill because it relied on a surtax on people
earning more than $1 million a year.
