Today William C. Wardlaw and Richard Stern entered the White House in a symbolic attempt to find Ronald Reagan and place him in the care of a mental facility for the criminally insane. On a practical level William and Richard hope, through their willingness to suffer the legal consequences of their actions, to demonstrate the depth of their horror at Reagan's nuclear, social, foreign and environmental policies (which are literally insane) and their hope that he will be unseated this November.

Harvest of Shame actions will continue for five weeks, with people coming from all across the country to Washington, D.C. to voice their concerns.
