9/5 11:00 PM – Julie Pietruszka-Cardoza (DCF) reports
“Today 220 hearty souls from Massachusetts traveled to Washington DC to occupy Washington. Others traveled in their personal vehicles to do the same. Upon arrival in DC we learned that the evening before the police had torn down the tents we were to sleep in for the next few days. Thankfully we were graciously given accommodations by the national Four H club in Maryland. We look forward to tomorrow’s events so we can raise our voices to gain the attention and action of Congress.”

“Today a couple hundred people marched to K street in Washington DC to gain the attention of the 99% and draw it to the corporate lobbyists whose offices line the street. The march was energizing and boisterous. Numerous bystanders waved, applauded, and beeped their horns as we passed. Many office workers waved from the windows of their high rise office buildings.”
