STATE MEDICAL POT ADVOCATES INVOLVED IN D.C. PROTEST

Demonstrators from Wisconsin were among those helping block the door
of Rep. Bob Barr's office in response to his efforts to overturn a
District of Columbia referendum that would authorize medical use of
marijuana.

Protesters included Jacki Rickert of Mondovi and Gary Storck of
Madison, who were identified as medicinal users of marijuana.

They accompanied Cheryl Miller of New Jersey, who was lifted from her
wheelchair Thursday by her husband and placed on a sleeping bag in the
doorway of the Georgia Republican. Her husband was charged with
demonstrating within a Capitol building, a misdemeanor.
