WASHINGTON - When you think of Code Pink, you may envision Cindy Sheehan being arrested, or hundreds of people clad in pink protesting the war.  However, in recent weeks the organization has expanded its efforts to include the economic crisis.

Singing "no bailout" to the tune of "Amen", and staging a "die-in" on the steps of the Russell building, Code Pink marched to the Senate offices of presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama.

Protesters like Gael Murphy say that the United States' invasion in Iraq was the starting point for her involvement with Code Pink.

"When we started to threaten a sovereign country, Iraq, with an invasion, that's when I really became active," Murphy said.

The war began five years ago and while Code Pink has not lost sight of its original mission, members plan to continue their activism in other political arenas.
