Occupy Des Moines occupied President Obama's Des Moines Iowa campaign office - which was locked. Apparently no one was home to receive their messages - perhaps Obama was fundraising with the 1%ers.
Their message:
Members from Occupy Omaha and Occupy Iowa City joined Occupy Des Moines with Veterans for Peace, the Catholic Worker community and the ICCI (Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement) and arrived early Saturday morning at Obama's state wide, but unmarked, campaign headquarters office to locked doors. At which time Occupy Des Moines and Veterans for Peace declared victory in successfully shutting down Obama's campaign office but vowed to stay and support the ICCI in their demonstrations . The ICCI got off their bus chanting"aqui estamos y no nos vamos" translated "here we are and we will not leave" and
declaring themselves "immigrant welcoming communities"
And then off to Mit Romney's office who locked their doors and called the police! Occupy Des Moines then immediately made the decision to occupy the front of Obama's campaign office and remain there until they feel like their demands have been satisfied.
