End TheFederal Reserve Boston Rally

The National End the Fed contingent in Boston met at the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston yesterday. This site happens to be at the same site as Occupy Boston.
The Occupy Federal Reserve Boston group expressed concern that the national End the Fed rally was antagonistic toward Occupy, being promoted to co-opt Occupy, rather than coordinate with them. Therefore, Occupy Federal Reserve Boston publicly announced it's solidarity with Occupy Boston, and urges that other Occupy Federal Reserve groups join us in the solidarity. We seek non-partisan cooperation on the issues, to ensure maximum participation of the 99%. We seek to join forces to promote a common agenda that will pave the way for future joint action.
To commemorate our new found alliance, a member of Occupy Fed led a march through the streets of Boston, comprising of both Occupy Fed and Occupy Boston, and in the spirit of both movements. This march ended at the Federal Reserve Bank where we sat in protest and chanted anti Fed slogans. Had it been just Occupy Fed, such a march would have been anemic and unsuccessful, we almost decided to cancel our End the Fed march. But together we filled the streets and impeded traffic. The End the Fed message is amplified, not diminished by the Occupy movement.

If there is one issue that all of the Occupy Movement seems to agree on, it is on the issue of ending corporate persons. Ron Paul should appeal to the Occupy Movement by supporting a constitutional amendment that would abolish corporate persons by stating that "A Person is a Human, and only a Human". This would draw great support.
Friday is End the Fed. Occupy Boston is right next to the Federal Reserve Building, which is like the Tower of Sauron. Everyone talks about the Fed, and when they do, they point up at the building. It is completely visceral.This was a ver peaceful even more to come.
