Permalink Occupy Congress: Money out of US politics!

Hundreds of Occupy Wall Street activists have rallied on Capitol Hill to “Occupy Congress”, decrying corporate influence on the American government in a direct message to lawmakers.

The protesters had permission to hold a rally on the Capitol's West Lawn. However one step outside the sanctioned area brought the risk of arrest.

Demonstrators were unable to resist the temptation to test the limits of police tolerance, and RT’s crew at the scene witnessed several people being arrested.

The protesters say that when the interests of big corporations are at stake on Capitol Hill, their interests, their voice, no longer count.

They are angry at the fact that the influence of money on politics in their country is only set to grow.

Following a Supreme Court decision, corporations are now allowed to funnel as much money as they want into promoting their chosen candidates for political office. Protesters call it legalized corruption.
