[INDENT][URL="http://www.nationaljournal.com/protests-continue-on-capitol-hill-20111208"][COLOR=#990000](National Journal)[/COLOR][/URL] — Protesters continued flooding the Capitol on Thursday, chanting in the streets, holding signs in support of “the 99 percent,” and trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to get meetings with lawmakers. The demonstrators are not from just one group and their demands may vary, but they have a common goal — one that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., says resonates with her. “I think the protesters have made a very strong statement: The status quo is unacceptable,” she said. “I agree with that.” Pelosi said that the many voices are proof that “we have to move forward to empower the 99 percent to offset the impact of the Supreme Court decision of money in campaigns,” and that the country must work toward “diminishing the power of money in politics.” She was referring to last year’s controversial [I]Citizens United[/I] decision, which allows outside groups to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to influence federal elections [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
