CODEPINK members are in great shape because they stand up for the truth: At the hearing with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, CODEPINK members stood up whenever AG Gonzales said "I don't recall" or "I don't remember" - almost 60 times!

See CODEPINK Be The Media:

CODEPINK has been all over the media, bringing the message of peace and accountability to Congress.

We packed the hearing with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Some of us were dressed as "pink police", marching in with crime tape in hand to demand that Gonzales be arrested for refusing to uphold the constitution. Others wore bright pink gowns with sashes reading "I MISS LIBERTY", "I MISS HABEAS CORPUS", and "I MISS JUSTICE"-and held up copies of the Constitution.

We made front page news at NYTimes.com when we held up a pink banner right near the Attorney General saying "I have nothing to hide…except the truth."
