Occupy Seattle Dumps $5K In Bills From Hotel Window

If you were an Occupy group that wanted to creatively protest the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. FEC decision which prohibits the federal government from restricting corporate (and union) money as political speech, how would you go about doing it?
Before you answer that, let’s look at one way not to:
MicCheckWallStreet, a group within the Occupy Seattle movement, decided to show their anger at money in politics on Wednesday by… throwing $5,000 in $1 and $5 bills — stamped with political messages like “MONEY AS SPEECH SILENCES US ALL” — out of a hotel window in downtown Seattle.
I thought one of the Occupy gang was that they didn't have what everyone else has. Now they have $5K to throw out of a hotel window? Occupy is nuttier than a port-a-potty at a peanut festival.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
First of all, you don't need a question mark in the title.
And what are they thinking they'll accomplish... do they really think they'll get support from people if they throw money at them? Well, come to think of it, that's one of the ways Obama gets his voters to turn out, promise them more money from the taxpayers.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
