'''Code Pink''' is an anti-war protest group founded by Jodie Evans, Diane Wilson and Medea Benjamin in 2002, shortly after the [[9/11 attack]].  Code Pink started out by trying to hand "pink slips" (symbolically "firing") to President Bush and members of Congress that supported the war in Iraq. In November 2002, they devised Code Pink as a play on the administration's Code Red terror alert system. <ref>[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/03/06/ED126988.DTL Code Pink Alert] SFGate, March 6, 2003</ref> Code Pink has since evolved into a hate group: members are to be united in their hatred of President Bush, America and anybody that supports going after terrorists. Their rallies include women of all backgrounds and men that are abortion supporters, 9/11 conspiracy believers; their members chant "Fascist State" and include open-border supporters waving upside-down American flags. Code Pink will protest returning wounded troops at Walter Reed Medical Center. Code Pink will unlawfully block military recruiting centers. Code Pink looks the other way as its followers vandalize war memorials. In September 2008, Code Pink members stole media passes to gain entrance into the [[Republican]] convention. <ref>[http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=35233 Code Pink Used Reporter's ID Tag to Disrupt Convention Event] CNSNews, Septemeber 5, 2008</ref>
