Protesters are standing at the fence near the main entrance to the building -- both pro-McCain and anti-Obama signs are out. "Hocky Mom for Obama" is right next to "Bad Change.com, whose literature indicates their main issue is abortion.

The biggest banner belongs to SAFER -- Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation -- who promote marijuana as a safer choice than alcohol.

Their sign asks "What's the difference between Cindy McCain and a marijuana dealer? Mrs. McCain has made a fortune selling a more harmful drug -- alcohol."

"That's just sad," a woman wearing a McCain button says to one of the SAFER volunteers.
