Occupy Des Moines activists to propose 'shutting down' candidate offices during Iowa caucuses

Source: CNN

Occupy Wall Street activists plan to amass in Iowa one week before the Iowa caucuses - up to the day they're held on Jan. 3, CNN has learned.

The plan has been dubbed the "First in the Nation Occupation" - a play on words for the first-in-the-nation presidential contest. The idea is to have activists from across the nation, and possibly beyond, descend on Iowa.

The plan: "people coming to Iowa, occupying every presidential (candidate's) office, shutting them down until they start talking real turkey about what's going on in this country, where the 99% of the people who are not benefiting, at the expense of the 1% who are getting away with murder," said Frank Cordaro, one of the organizers.

The plan is to target offices for Republican candidates and President Barack Obama's campaign offices in the state.

First on CNN: Occupy Des Moines activists to propose 'shutting down' candidate offices during Iowa caucuses

Great idea, but the night of the caucus is a little too late to change the talk. They should do it at least a week before.

and now for something completely different :-)
