Occupy Wall Street protests spread across U.S
Source: Telegraph UK

Inspired by the events in New York City, protesters begin assembling in several cities across the U.S.

As police arrested hundreds of protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, more demonstrations began to spring up across the U.S.

In Los Angeles, protesters gathered in front of City Hall and danced on buses with "peace" emblazoned on the side.

A smaller protest was held in Chicago's financial district where protesters held placards demanding “Jobs Not Cuts”.

Protesters also turned out in Denver, gathering downtown before marching into the city chanting, "Occupy the streets."

9. Arab Spring in USA?
The Arab Spring may be coming to USA. Many want jobs with livable wages to care for their families and the greety executives are stealing companies blind and sending our jobs elsewhere. We need to stop voting against ourselves and elect those which will call the hand of Wall Street.

18. The common man needs to remind the 1%ers who has the power
Every now and again we average people need to take over every street for a week or two and show "the man" who is in power.

It doesn't matter how much money you have, or how much power you think you have. The common people have the power, we just need to remember that every now and again.
