Moore’s vote for stimulus package prompts protest outside his office
Angered by Congress’ approval of the $787 billion economic recovery plan, a crowd protested Saturday outside the Overland Park office of U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore.
Protesters held placards and chanted their disapproval of the vote by Moore, a Kansas Democrat, in favor of the relief package.
President Barack Obama signed the measure into law on Tuesday.
Overland Park police estimated the crowd on a cold and windy Saturday morning at 200 to 300 people.
The demonstration lasted about an hour, Sgt. Todd George said.

Don't bother going to the Star's link above for the rest of the story there's nothing more, just 84 words and a stock photo.
Another thing; Billy Blogger was there for an hour and a half & left to cover another event. As I was leaving more protestors were showing up so the business of the event lasting an hour, another attempt to kiss the congressman's,,, ring by the Kansas City Star.
