ADAPT just informed bloggers via email and Twitter that ADAPT activists stormed Senator McCain's campaign headquarters in Virginia and blocked all entrances and exits, demanding a meeting with John McCain.

 

At 1 PM EST, ADAPT activists arrived at McCain's headquarters.

 

At 2 PM, about 100 protesters were inside the HQ with all doors blocked, and staffers were refusing to relay ADAPT's housing platform to McCain.

 

As of half an hour ago (3 PM EST), arrests began. According to ADAPT's email, the police have been "very rough" in arresting protesters.

 

Stay tuned-- more updates as they come in.

 

UPDATE:

Arrests are still in progress as far as anyone has heard. ADAPT is asking that all supporters contact McCain's office using the following information and ask that staffers get ADAPT representatives a meeting with John McCain.
