Iraq vet and Wall Street insider turns OWS protester

Over the weekend the Occupy movement has been recharged. From the hundreds arrested in Oakland during "move in day," to the Occupy DC no camping regulations being any minute from enforcement. It is evident that law enforcement is making it tougher to practice the First Amendment, but with every crackdown it seems more protesters show up. The movement has been resilient despite the mainstream media attacks, and Derek McGee, an Iraq war veteran and OWS protester, joins us to show that they are not just a bunch of dirty hippies.

America has Corporately Funded, State TV 2 divide this country. Policy since 9/11 to the present is shaping the US toward a Dictatorship. Look at our policies & compare them 2 laws and acts that were in place in order 4 a dictatorship to take place in other places. RE: Wall Street, Bucket shops were illegal from 1907 or 1908 until 2000. Those are side bets placed without any skin in the game. Downsize Banks. Our politicians are privy 2 insider trading info. Peace, Solidarity, & Support Everyone!
