Well done all!!!! keep it up. Reminds e of many of the posters/banners we have been carrying against corporate control at the OCCUPY support rallies in Burlington Vermont, and those we paraded around the White House in opposition to the Tar Sands Pipeline, on November 6 (12000 of us–over 350m from little Vermont). Work to be done here in USA..
