Primaries spark more protests by Occupy activists

Not everyone in New Hampshire has election fever. In downtown Manchester activists of the “Occupy” movement set up a camp, taking possession of an area of Veteran’s Park.

Locals mix with others who have come from all over New England to protest against the Republican candidates whom they blame for much of what they consider social injustice in the US today.

Activist Wendy said:“They are a bunch of rich white men in power. And they have no clue how the 99% lives.

Mitt Romney is especially targeted by the movement – he is a multi-millionaire belonging to the top one per cent of the population which is considered out of touch with working families. But the activists are also angry with the Democrats.
