Scores Arrested in "Occupy" Movement Protests Across the Country 
-----------------------------------------------------------------



Authorities in Des Moines, Iowa, arrested 32 people who had joined
approximately 150 to 200 others occupying a local park in solidarity
with the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. In Seattle, at least three
people were arrested in connection with an occupation protest that has
drawn hundreds to the city’s downtown area. Fourteen protesters were
arrested in at a park in Sacramento, California, Sunday morning, days
after police took more than 20 activists into custody. In an interview
on ABC This Week, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi expressed support
for the "Occupy Wall Street" movement’s message.

Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic Leader: “I support the message to the
establishment — whether it’s Wall Street or the political
establishment and the rest — that change has to happen. We cannot
continue in a way that is not relevant to their lives. People are
angry.”
