Aren't there a bunch of lefties in NYC?........
Don't most of the world's banks either based or have a large presence in NYC? Is Wall Street off limits to average people? With signs? Pitchforks? Torches?

1. Wall St. is totally open.
Witness all the people who have taken pictures with the famous bull. Imo, if you visit manhattan, a visit to Wall St. is mandatory.

I haven't done the NYSE tour, but a friend of mine got to check it out.

2. Ironically, there's a reason the World Trade Center is no longer there.

3. Why are the "lefties" expected to do all the work? The rest of the country...
needs to fucking catch up. Here, make a sign:



And don a groovy t-shirt:



Protest away! If you're not in NYC, camp out in front of your local Bank of America.

4. Oh I agree. But I'm just thinking that.............
it's odd that there hasn't been much heard about anything happening there even though it IS a big banking center and NYC seems to be a fairly left leaning area. I would think that there would be more protest action there. I THINK that if I lived there I'd be out pretty regularly.

FWIW, I'll go down to Corker's local office here and Jim Cooper's people almost know me by name by now because of all my calls and letters. Not that it seems to do much good. I guess it's the same all over.
