Saturday, thousands of people plan to march on Wall Street to support what is being called the US Day of Rage; the Day of Rage protests America’s “corrupt democratic process.” The Day of Rage has created an Internet buzz and has created a large following on Twitter.
The Day of Rage has support from several activist groups around the country and internationally. Over the last year, numerous protests against the government have been organized around the world, but very few are organized in the US.
The US Day of Rage organizers said:
“Unfortunately, free and fair elections are a thing of the past in America. Because of recent Supreme Court decisions, money is flowing freely and unaccountably into the American electoral process. Elections will be swayed by interests opposed to those of the United States. Corporations, even those owned by foreign shareholders, will and do use money to act as the voices of millions, while individual citizens, the legitimate voters, are silenced and demoralized by the farce of American Democracy.”
