I guess when it comes down to it, go for it. You CAN lay down in the street...you'll be arrested too (probably).
Maybe I'm wrong, but I can just imagine the rage the lefties would be expressing if it were pro-lifers blocking the streets of major cities. I would be PO'ed if it were pro-lifers too.
Maybe I am naive, Lerk, but I would say making phone calls and writing letters to local papers, congressmen, representatives businesses and whoever else could remotely impact the sitation, are a lot more effective than getting a bunch of friends and laying in a street with a sign that says "no blood for oil (and free Palestine)." (excuse the run-on sentence)
On a semi-sidenote: Seems that a lot (not all) of the anti-war protests are just big parties...hippies, singing, drinking, partying, dancing, smoking, an almost celebratory atmosphere. Chanting slogans that support what you are protesting is one thing, but the party atmosphere does make me wonder...
