Making Wall St. Pay Protest

A group of residents from Columbia, TN and Hohenwald, TN gathered Sat. Nov. 5,2011 for a Making Wall St. Pay Protest. The protesters stood off the property of a Bank Of America, held signs passed out flyers and waved to customers and oncoming traffic. Folks passing by honked their horns, gave thumbs up, and requested fliers enthusiastically. The protest was peaceful and uneventful until a customer finishing up business with the bank and still in the parking lot requested a flyer from a protester. The protester handed the customer a flyer, said a few words and walked back to where the other protesters were gathered. Minutes later an officer from the Columbia, Police Dept. arrived and nicely advised me and other protesters that we were not allowed on the property of Bank of America. He then requested to speak with the organizer of the event Cheryl B. and I pointed her out to him. According to Cheryl B. the officer told her the same thing but also stated that Bank of America did not want protesters on their property. The protesters resumed protesting after the officer left.The group was small and organizer Cheryl B. was fine with that expecting the numbers to grow with each event. She and the group of protesters were excited and invigorated by the positive feedback received. The next event planned: We Are The 99% Event. Sat. Nov 19, 2011 10:30AM 1404 S. James Campbell Blvd. And Hatcher Lane In Front of Bank of America Columbia, TN 38401. Here is a link to sign up for the event.http://civic.moveon.org/event/events/attendees/index.html?event_id=124033&id=-17336724-97HOWyx
