I just called a friend at Occupy DC
and he told me that a large group is heading over to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce building.
That will be interesting.
I wouldn't be surprised if the DC cops start their usual tactics at that point.

Wish I were there - had a doctor appointment.

1. March on Chamber of Commerce confirmed
Edited on Thu Oct-06-11 03:34 PM by LiberalEsto
Bloomberg News reported what's going on at Occupy DC in the 3rd paragraph

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-06/wall-street-march-reaches-washington-as-obama-cites-americans-frustration.html

"Several thousand protesters set up camp today in Washington’s Freedom Plaza, two blocks from the Treasury Department. They staged drumming circles, set up sign-making tents, held a mini-rock festival and spoke against Wall Street excesses. Shortly before 3 p.m., they began marching toward the White House, with plans to rally nearby outside the columned headquarters of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce."

2. Just curious: What is with the drumming circles? That is a very traditional
Native American thing.

3. There are a lot of drumming groups in the DC area
I don't think there are many Native Americans involved in them, if any. People just enjoy drumming. I'm one of them.

4. Thanks. I imagine that it brings out the spirit in the group.
