Barney Frank – a 16-term Congressman from Massachusetts and one of the more outspoken politicians of his time – announced yesterday that he will not seek reelection in 2012. Citing a new redistricting map that will include many people he has never represented, along with a desire to do other things in life, the 71-year old surprised many at a press conference in Newton, MA on Monday, saying at one point: “I think I would have won but it would have been a tough campaign. I hate raising money.” Barney Frank Jabs at Gingrich, Romney One of the more polarizing figures in Washington, Frank became the first openly gay man to serve in Congress. He’s been at the center of support and controversy recently, due to his Dodd-Frank law and his pre-crisis support for government housing agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “The anger in the country… is such that the kind of inside work I felt best at is not going to be productive in the foreseeable future,” Frank said yesterday, referring to a “substantially deteriorated” political climate. “The House of Representatives will not be the same without him,” President Obama said upon learning the news, while Republicans are excited about an open seat in 2012. “It’s not an encouraging sign for House Democrats when a senior member sees little chance of becoming a committee chairman,” said Paul Lindsay, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Officers from the Atlanta Police Department swarmed Woodruff Park at around 12:45 am this morning and arrested 53 Occupy Atlanta protesters. Occupy Atlanta had been in Woodruff Park since October 7. According to the AJC, Mayor Kasim Reed said more than 100 officers were involved in the operation to clear the park. The arrests were orderly and peaceful, but some of the protesters had to be dragged out. Occupy Atlanta released the following statement overnight: “The evidence shows that despite the fact that Mayor Reed claimed that he was sending clergy to speak with Occupy Atlanta in order to find a ‘peaceful solution,’ the outcome was already predetermined. Representatives from the group of clergy arrived at the park and requested a meeting for 5 p.m. That time was not available because of a planned march which was posted in the schedule on Occupy Atlanta’s website. Participants in Occupy Atlanta and the representatives of the group of clergy agreed on a meeting time of Thursday at noon at Big Bethel AME Church. However, Atlanta police did not wait for this meeting to take place.” The group aims to return to Woodruff Park but other options have also been explored. The 53 arrested protesters were taken to the Atlanta City Detention Center and charged with violating a city ordinance, a misdemeanor. Among those handcuffed were State Sen. Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta), former Atlanta city councilman Derrick Boazman and Joe Beasley, the southern regional director of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. Read more here.
