Interestingly, I just watched Inside Job last night. They're protesting in the wrong spot, it's government policy that allowed this mess to happen.

Yet it's all completely meaningless. What they are doing will do nothing but prepare the public for more law enforcement action and curtail civil liberties. The only way to do anything is put people into congress that will do two things, cut government down to size and stop any bail outs or corporate welfare.

Progressives (both in the Democrat party and the GOP) have to be stopped from executing the Global Elite's plans. Judging by the EURO, there may not be enough time to do so.
