The first ammendment of the Constitution protects our rights and freedoms. Currently the "Occupy Wall Street" events happending all over the United States are creating controversy and much discussion. Look on the web, in papers, magazines, any place you find your new. Report out on one of the Occupy events around the U.S. Give your reactions. Would you participate in a rally? WHY OR WHY NOT?
One of the Occupy events that caught my eye was Occupy Oakland. This caught my eye because in one of their larger protests they were able to shut down a port for a while. The only way the government will respond is if they see an overwhelming number of protesters that are affecting major parts of cities like transportation, defense, and trade. I would only participate if I thought it would effect something.
