Mitt Fundraises in New York

Occupy Romney

Protesters plan to crash the party.

Mitt Romney is fundraising in New York City this week and plans to take home $2 million from donor gatherings, including a lunch at the Waldorf-Astoria Wednesday. One of his supporters is John Catsimatidis, a New York business owner who backed Hillary Clinton in 2008, called Romney a "level headed, straight arrow." Not everyone agrees with Catsimatidis, as evidenced by the number of groups--including Occupy Wall Street United NY--and planning to protest outside the Waldorf-Astoria today. Protests will include Romney mask-wearing hula hoopers--symbolizing the wealthy taking advantage of tax loopholes--and a mock funeral procession for jobs.
