Twenty-two protesters were arrested Monday and charged with disruption of Congress after shouting chants against Speaker John Boehner from a House of Representatives gallery, according to the Washington Post.

The protesters, including members of the National People’s Action, Vocal New York, and Community Voices Heard, unveiled a large black banner. They chanted, "Hey, Boehner, get a clue, it's about revenue" and, "Boehner, get off it, it’s time to tax corporate profits" before Capitol Police removed them from the one of the galleries overlooking the chamber.
