Roundup: Protester sues VA

* The Americans Civil Liberties Union is helping an Army veteran sue the Department of Veterans Affairs for taking away an American flag he hung upside down in protest, the Santa Monica Mirror   reports. The vet is part of a group that wants the VA to use its land in Los Angeles for public housing instead of a park.

* Tea Party members honked against the health care bill Wednesday in cities across the nation. The Wausau Daily Herald   reports that in Wisconsin, the activists targeted Rep. Dave Obey (D-Wis.) and Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.).

* Coffee party activists and tea party leaders agree that angry shouting isn't the strongest protest tactic. CBS News   collects reactions after tea party activists had a loud confrontation with staffers for Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.).

* President Obama is attending another health care rally, this time in Fairfax, Va. The New York Times  reports that Friday's stop will be the fourth such event in recent weeks. The President "is showing no signs of letting up" on the overhaul.
