WALNUT CREEK -- The Occupy Wall Street protest is ready to march into Walnut Creek.
The movement that started in New York with people railing against bank bailouts, corporate greed and political power will be in Walnut Creek Wednesday. Two groups will protest at 4 p.m., near the intersection of Main Street and Mt. Diablo Boulevard, likely extending down the block to Locust Street.

Some signs will be provided, but those who want to join are encouraged to bring their own ...
