"Three AIDS activists protesting budget cuts threatened by the fiscal cliff were arrested Tuesday afternoon after they stripped in the outer office of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), according to authorities.
The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that the women were charged with lewd and indecent acts, a misdemeanor. Police said they did not know whether Boehner was in his office when the protesters converged shortly after12:30 p.m. and disrobed.
Boehner's spokeswoman did not immediately comment."*
Cenk Uygur breaks down the naked truth behind the protest: protestors were trying to bring attention to the proposed over $1.2 bilion in cuts to HIV/AIDS research funding that will literally "make them sick." If not kill them

Was an odd protest. But guess what sometimes these acts raise awareness to issues and get peoples attention. The issue is that medical research funding which AIDS research and what not is covered under this, might be cut, and might cost peoples lives. Odd protest? Sure. Did it grab peoples attention and is raising awareness to this issue? Yes.
It just makes them look like morons.
So, does this mean we're going to cut spending? Isn't that the American Dream?
As long as obama is here it is a dream.
True they made of looked like "morons" but they got there job done on grabbing the media's attention and grabbing peoples attention to this issue.
It could be worse. We could have "Boehner Occupies Naked AIDS Activists."

I'm partial to abstinence awareness, myself.Watch @: [/FONT][/COLOR]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjm3sFZ_8FU&list=UU1yBKRuGpC1tSM73A0ZjYjQ&index=1&feature=plcp

How does it cost people lives? Is it costing people lives or did their own actions cost them their lives? How many new aids case are healthcare workers, first responders and monogamous sexual activities?
The truth is that aids is 100% preventable. If everyone acted responsibly, there would no longer be aids in the US and modern countries. Every case of aids can be traced to someone acting irresponsibly. The people who get aids that acted responsibly are infected because someone else didn't.
Is it the governments responsibility to fund research for a disease that can easily be prevented so that those who act stupid can continue to do so carefree? I don't think so. For those who are infected by others acting irresponsibly, I would dearly love to help them and if I could, I would offer them a cure. For the ones who will not take simple precautions to protect themselves and become infected. Tuff **** you morons.

Why does the government need to do this?
The private sector companies don't as they only care about hitting their profit goals.
In one breath, you concede that responsible people are infected by the actions of irresponsible people. In the next, you deny that the government should do anything to help prevent or cure the disease because it would enable the behaviors of the irresponsible people.
Do you care about the lives of responsible citizens, or not? Make up your mind.
Yup. Ever hear of social responsibility?
Maybe you really need to worry about the stupid wasteful government spending that does not work toward saving lives.
It is not the governments job to save lives, it is the governments job to provide the freedoms and environment in which industry and charities can go about the business of saving lives and to provide an environment where people are free to make their own choices and live, or die, as the result of those choice.
Yea **** em let em die!!! :roll: **** the government trying to help stop a disease!! **** em all!
