"Occupy Wall Street" Protests Will Come to Hartford

"Occupy Wall Street", a movement that is against corprate greed. This protest against excess started in New York City and has spread from Atlantic to Pacific, through mediums such as Facebook. It has had people protesting in front of the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago, in the streets of Los Angeles and now is coming to Hartford. The movement will have meetings discussing its plans for protest in Hartford on Wednesday at 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. in Bushnell Park. The reason why the group is having this discussion at this venue is, according to Peter Goselin, a laywer from Hartford supporting "Occupy Wall Street", "The idea of conducting a democratic meeting in the open where people can see is in sharp contrast to the way buissness and politics is done now, where everything is behind closed doors." On a meeting that was held on Sunday, members of this movement, which is popular with colledge graduates who can't find work, were interested in doing either a march or a "sleep in". The date for the actual protests hasn't been determined.
