Occupy New Hampshire has confirmed that they were behind the mic check today of during Obama's speech at a Manchester high school.
Watch video of the event below:
This is the full message Occupy protesters read to Obama:
"Mr. President, Over 4,000 peaceful protesters have been arrested. While Banksters continue to destroy the economy. You MUST stop the assault on our 1st amendment rights. Your silence sends a message that police brutality is acceptable."
Shortly after the mic check, @OccupyNH tweeted that Democrats are guilty of aiding the 1%.
The future of all that we cherish is on the line and we have to fight like hell to protect democracy, human decency, and a liveable planet.
The last line of defense is people who understand what’s at stake—activists, writers, thinkers, doers, and everyday people who see what is happening, know in their hearts that a better world is possible, and are willing to fight for it.
