Green Party United States Senate candidatte Medea Benjamin marches to protest the drilling for oil on U'Wa land in Colombia. Occidental Petroleum, in which Al Gore owns as much as $1,000,000 in stock, has begun moving their drilling equipment onto the land of the indigenous U'Wa people, with the assistance of the Colombian military. The U'Wa have said they will commit mass suicide if their land is so violated.
