Occupy Activists Stage Massive Banner Drop Across Northeast U.S. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Occupy activists are claiming to have carried out the largest series of
banner drops in U.S. history under the slogan of "Get Money Out of
Politics." Activists say 99 banners were dropped along roadways from
Albany, New York, to Washington, D.C., on Friday listing 99 individual
reasons in support of campaign finance reform. The banners were hung at
locations in five states including the Capitol, the George Washington
Bridge, the Macombs Dam Bridge, and the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
