From sledding to snowball fights, dozens of children and their parents took to Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon to protest a controversial sledding ban.Capitol Police have refused to lift the sledding ban, but some parents organized a “sled in” on the west lawn of the Capitol to put a spotlight on the unpopular rule.The snow day provided ample opportunity for the children and their parents to challenge the sledding ban[/url].“This is a great day for sledding and democracy,” said Tim Krepp, a parent who helped organize the event.Krepp said the sledding ban is a “silly problem” that points to the larger issue of dysfunction in Washington.Among those calling to lift the sledding ban is Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), who [url=http://thehill.com/regulation/234611-dc-delegate-calls-for-sledding-waiver-ahead-of-snowstorm]wrote to U.S. Capitol Police Board Chairman Frank Larkin Wednesday.
