Occupy Philly Marches To Romney Fundraiser And Holds Its Own ‘Photo-Op’ With Picture Of Mitt:Here’s some video of the protesters rallied outside the hotel from the CloutDailyNews YouTube account

Today, former Massachussetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) is holding a fundraiser at a swank hotel in downtown Philadelphia, offering $2,500 photo-ops to wealthy donors inside.

Responding to Romney’s fundraising with the city’s elite, Occupy Philly and allied groups marched to the hotel and rallied outside of it. Demonstrators propped up a large poster of Romney and staged their own photo-ops with him, joking that they don’t need to be super-wealthy to take a photograph with a fake version of the candidate.


Here are some pictures from the demonstration, taken by local demonstrators and reporters:

1. Go Philly!

2. Great speech. Pretty much says what the Occupy movement is about.

No wonder Fox News and the rest of the media can't get it.

The whole movement is, to a great extent, about the fact that they take money not to inform people but to propagandize for the politicians that pay them the most money.

People are more important than money. That's the point.
