District and federal authorities have asked Occupy Congress organizers to file applications for four separate permits for the January 17 event, which participants say could draw thousands to the District to protest money in politics on the day Congress returns to work.
Tomorrow, Occupy D.C. welcomes its brethren from around the country to "Occupy Congress," a daylong sit-in around Capitol Hill in which the income-inequality movement hopes to make contact with all 535 members of the legislative branch. Why? Because the Occupiers "have had it with Congress' inability to govern and are coming to confront them in person." Peacefully, they say.
