MP is starting to get his demand fulfilled:
"As a cold rain fell, hundreds of people filled K Street chanting, “We are the 99 percent,” while slogging through puddles and waving protest signs. They blocked intersections with newspaper boxes, wooden pallets, office furniture and tents. Tempers frayed. Horns blared.
D.C. police said 62 people were arrested as they formed human daisy chains across thoroughfares. Many were charged with obstruction of a public highway.
Protesters said they were trying to call attention to what they see as the corrupting nexus of politics and money in the nation’s capital.
On Wednesday, they marched and chanted in front of a high-profile lobbying firm co-founded by a former chief of staff in the Clinton administration. Other protesters swarmed Capitol Hill this week to demand jobs and economic equity, staged sit-ins at congressional offices, protested fundraisers and chanted in front of Charlie Palmer Steak, a favorite restaurant of the D.C. elite, where a steak-and-lobster combo costs $64."
I can almost smell the clouds of exploded diesel as the Bear cats fire up.
