I guess even owning part of the company isn't enough to be heard by the 1%.

"I just got a call from the Bank of America's shareholder meeting in Charlotte from Richard Eskow, a writer for the Campaign for America's Future. Richard represents 82,000 shares of investor stock of BoA and yet he was turned away with 40 other shareholders just now and he and the others were asked to leave BoA property. Some shareholders who were turned away were elderly."
Good Post
Re. 'BoA', I append and highly recommend this excellent and very revealing article :
fiat lux ...
them's old folks might interrupt the plan
it is my understanding that there was limited space in the auditorium, so not everyone was allowed in. First come first serve on the seats. So people were turned away regardless of their age or how many shares they held.
Also, there weren't "thousands" but "hundreds"

Now the reality is out there for all to see.
And no thanks owed to the Demopublicans for that!
Translation: Don't vote.
Why would any American with shit for brains waste time voting?
Forget the rigged elections. Forget corporate puppet candidates like Obama and Romney. Forget the corporate controlled poltical circus altogether. Focus on Regime Change.
Division troll
With GypsyKing, "Division" is code for opposing co-optation of OWS by the Dems, and "troll" is code for anyone posting anything he disagrees with.
"Occupy Wall Street veteran Max Berger will appear on CNBC this afternoon regarding today's protest:
maxberger @ maxberger : I'm going to be on The Closing Bell on CNBC at 3:45 to talk about #bankvsamerica and the need to #BreakUpBofA. Wish me luck! #fb "
