Amazing to me that more media outlets are not covering the huge protest in DC this weekend! Here are some links in case you missed the excitement.

On Sunday, thousands poured into Washington, D.C., to participate in what was billed as a "Million Vets March" on the memorials closed by the administration as a result of the partial government shutdown prompted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's refusal to consider a single GOP proposal to fund the government.
Protesters quickly tore down the barricades -- known as "barrycades" in honor of Barack Obama -- that surrounded the World War II memorial and discarded them.

RIOT POLICE OBSTRUCT VETERANS PROTESTING AT WORLD WAR II MEMORIALhttp://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/10/13/Obama-Sends-Riot-Police-To-WWII-Memorial-Lets-Amnesty-Supporters-Rally-On-Mall
Secret Service and police in riot gear arrived to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Sunday to monitor veterans demanding that memorials barricaded due to the government shutdown be re-opened. Though the Obama administration barricaded open-air memorials and even previously threatened to arrest World War II veterans on "Honor Flights" to see their memorial, they allowed pro-amnesty demonstrators, including many illegal immigrants, to use the National Mall, which was supposed to be closed due to the shutdown, for a rally in support of comprehensive immigration reform. Democrats in Congress—like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi—were allowed to ride to the event in golf carts, as Breitbart News reported.
