Occupy Wall Street Protesters Endure Snow; Organize March on Banks 
-------------------------------------------------------------------



In New York City, Occupy Wall Street protesters endured a weekend of
freezing, wet weather as their ongoing occupation of a financial
district plaza entered its sixth week. Combating the elements was made
all the more difficult after the New York City Fire Department
confiscated the encampment’s gas power generators late last week.
The weekend began for Occupy Wall Street activists with a march on the
offices of major banks in midtown Manhattan. At the headquarters of JP
Morgan Chase, office workers filled the windows taking pictures of the
demonstrators down below.

Protester: "I think the people up there are workers and middle-class
America for the most part just like everybody that's here today. It's
the people on the top floor that need to hear the message and I think
the message is trickling up."
