----------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, more than 300 people were arrested Monday in Washington,
D.C., in a mass civil disobedience to protest against the influence of
big money and corporate lobbying in politics. Monday's demonstration,
dubbed "Democracy Awakening," caps a week of massive protests in which
about 1,200 people were arrested in total. Among those arrested Monday
were NAACP President Cornell William Brooks, Moral Monday organizer
Reverend William Barber and Greenpeace USA Director Annie Leonard. To
