'Occupy Chicago' protest enters fifth day

'Occupy Chicago' protest enters fifth day

A small group of protesters in Chicago started their own "Occupy Wall Street" demonstration over the weekend. Around 20 "Occupy Chicago" protesters gathered at Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, on September 23 and then marched to the Federal Reserve Bank. Some of the protesters have remained camped out in front of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and the organizers said the "occupation" had more than doubled over the last several days.


On Thursday, the "Occupy Chicago" protesters marched down Michigan Avenue and through Millennium Park.

Although the "Occupy Wall Street" protest has been criticized by some for having no clear agenda or demands, one protester had three clear goals: repealing the Bush tax cuts, overturning the Citizens United decision and reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act.
