BTW When you draw less people to a protest than Molly Hatchet does to a concert it's not really that huge.
Quoting your article:

Quote:
Statewide Wisconsin (WXOW) - More than 150 people from all over Wisconsin are preparing to join others from across the country in Washington, D.C. as part of a three day, non-violent "Occupy Wall Street" Protest. The thousands converging on the Capitol say they want to counter the power of banks, Wall Street, and big corporations. The protest has be dubbed "Take Back the Capitol", and it will run from December 6th to the 8th. Wisconsinites participating say they want to send a message to Congress to focus on jobs, not tax cuts, and have the wealthiest 1% pay their fair share.
Good thing it's not occurred yet then, hum? Sorta like that "400 or so" protesters in Zuccotti Park the news media mentioned, while there were 15,000 marching across the Brooklyn Bridge?

As a self-declared Libertarian, what do you think about the Occupy Amendment this Congressman is trying to get introduced?

I love it and especially for government supported political groups like ACORN. Imagine receiving gov funds to influence gov. elections. Talk about a fixed system. The congressman should also add to the top of the amendment the outlawing of government sponsored entities or GSE anything for that matter. Neither party is completely to blame yet both are at fault. Flat tax for everyone! Guy making 10K pays a grand and a guy making a 100 million pays 10 millon. The gov needs to adjust to the new budget after the divorce and settlement from the people.

Take the money out of the Feds hands and the rats will go away. They don't seek attention just cheese.
