While the schedule was light for delegates on opening day of the Republican National Convention, protesters were in full force outside St. Paul's Capitol Building. Ben Calhoun caught up with Patricia Bozeman, who came to the Republican National Convention to protest the United States' involvement in the Iraq War. She performs a song she wrote after seeing President Bush speak in 2004 in her hometown of Buffalo, New York.
