A protest outside Grover Norquist's Washington office has succeeded, RAW STORY has learned.
Organizer Andrew Boyd told RAW STORY the protest was "very spirited," and that organizers had raised some $20,000 -- most of them in $5 contributions.
"The truck showed up and parked right outside the building," he said, speaking of a billboard that showed the Katrina flood paired with a famous quote the GOP power-broker had uttered, "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

Boyd on Norquist's aides showing up for work: "You could tell who they were when they showed up, they had this very sweaty, conservative look. There were people concerned in the lobby making sure people got in okay. We engaged people in conservation."
"We had a rendition of when the “rains come down," sung to the tune of "When the Saints Come Marching in."
"The truck parked right out there in front," he said. "Everybody was looking at it."
