She's been ejected, arrested and detained for protests demanding U.S. troops leave Iraq, but that hasn't deterred the Gulf War veteran, former Republican congressional candidate and transgender woman.

"We shouldn't be afraid to vocalize our opinion to our elected leaders," said Potts, one of several members of the Code Pink anti-war group who frequently show up for congressional hearings and debates on Iraq.
