From the LVRJ: The Occupy movement reached Capitol Hill on Tuesday when activists staged sit-ins in the offices of two Nevada lawmakers among selected others in Congress.
A half-dozen protesters sat in the reception room of Republican Sen. Dean Heller from noon until his office closed at 5:30 p.m., reading books and magazines and completing crossword puzzles after being unable to obtain time with him.
Brian Fadie, a member of ProgressNow Nevada, said the group initially ran into Heller in the hallway as he was on his way to a vote, "and he said he would try to meet with us." When they checked in with his staff, Fadie said they were told the senator had off-campus meetings the rest of the day.
"The senator's schedule obviously is done weeks in advance," Heller spokesman Stewart Bybee said in mid-afternoon. "They are welcome to stay. We are looking at the schedule and seeing if there are any openings. We do have a variety of meetings going on."
Meanwhile, another small protest group spent the afternoon at the office of Rep. Joe Heck, R-Nev., after requesting time to discuss unemployment, the mortgage crisis and economic inequality. http://www.lvrj.com/news/-occupy-protesters-stage-sit-ins-at-heller-heck-offices-135142793.html
And the reason why the Las Vegas/Washington D.C. occupiers didn't go to the most corrupt and job killer's office (of course that is Crybaby Harry Reid)i is why?
I really hope they disinfected the offices after the occupier thugs left.

Nothing more than union backed thugs pushing class warfare under new branding.
