The Associated Press "SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Dozens of Dominicans wearing flip-flops and swim suits and carrying coolers and surfboards soaked in the sun outside Congress on Friday to protest a proposal they say will limit public access to beaches and rivers.
'This is not the constitution of my country,' they yelled, referring to a recently approved constitutional amendment that allows for private property along coasts and rivers.
One man spread several towels on the asphalt road and lay down. Another set up an inflatable palm tree.
'The beaches belong to the people, not to businessmen,' the protesters chanted."
