The 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America grants freedom of worship, speech & press; the right to petition the government & to assemble peaceably. The Occupy movement is not a peaceable assembly. The supposed 99% protest and disrupt productive Americans around the country. It is more accurate to identify the Occupiers as the 1%, not the 99%, as they represent the radical fringe of our society. They don't represent any responsible American from any political perspective. If they represent you, take a look in the mirror and reconsider.
