Activists led by Mitch Friedman from the Northwest Ecosystem Alliance attempt to buy timber from Washington's Okanogan National Forest to halt logging. Amid rollback laws and renewed logging, protesters use civil disobedience such as locking onto a couch in concrete and tree-sitting as rallies attract hundreds with dozens arrested near Olympic National Forest.

Poll shows broad desire for tax reform but not flat tax
An Associated Press poll finds eight in ten want some changes to the federal income tax while fewer than three in ten favor replacing it entirely. Fifty five percent say Congress has more important work, and about half find the system not too complicated for themselves. Forty seven percent say it is too complicated, with only half willing to give up deductions to simplify laws. The poll was conducted February 14 to 20 by ICR Survey Research Group.
