    Arizona seeks to quell protests

    Last night in Arkansas, cries of "Do your job!  Do your job!  Do your job" greeted US Senator Tom Cotton, the latest Republican to have a town hall disrupted by protesters.  In Arizona no such disruption has taken place, but the state legislature is re-defining a law aimed at organized crime to apply to protests… just in case.
