15:44Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - As Mitt Romney formally accepted the Republican presidential nomination Thursday night, four activists from the group CODEPINK interrupted him throughout, calling for money out of politics and a return to democracy. CODEPINK has been protesting every day at this week's convention -- including last night's speech by vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. They have also held actions against gun violence at home; military intervention abroad; and what they call the Republicans' "war on women." We're joined now by two of the activists who disrupted Romney's speech last night: Rae Abileah, co-director of CODEPINK; and Medea Benjamin, the group's co-founder.
