CINDY SHEEHAN'S SOAPBOX MARCH 2, 2014 GUEST: BILL QUIGLEY TOPIC: CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AND THE CASE OF SR. MEGAN RICE, ET. AL. ( From Wikipedia ) On July 28, 2012, Rice, at 82 years old, and two fellow activists (Michael R. Walli, 63 years old, and Gregory I. Boertje-Obed, 57 years old) broke into the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee , spray-painted antiwar slogans, and splashed fake blood on the outside of the heavily guarded Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility.
