Green Party Prez Candidate Arrested at "Occupy Fannie Mae" Protest

Any publicity is good publicity for third party candidates.

The Green Party's presidential nominee was arrested Wednesday in Philadelphia and charged with trespassing during a protest against Fannie Mae.

Jill Stein, a Massachusetts resident and Harvard-educated doctor, was arrested along with four other Green Party members, the Associated Press reports, including her running mate, Cheri Honkala, a single mother who once ran for Philadelphia sheriff. The group of about 50 activists was trying to reach the government-backed lender's downtown office through an adjacent bank. When they were denied entry, they staged a sit-in.
