American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•18 • May 1, 2012

The Occupy movement has declared May 1 to be a day of national protest and has asked people not to go to work, conduct banking, or go shopping. What do you think?

“It’s not a good day for me because I have three meetings, but tell you what, I'll wear my Guy Fawkes mask.”

“I had no plans to bank today, but I am a banker. While I will be attending work, I'll mostly be practicing my putting on my office's floor. So basically I'm good here.”
Stephanie Bauchau –
Bank Manager
“Obviously there’s no place in this movement for those of us who only feel alive when filling out deposit slips.”
