Local New York Fox News story about the event from last night. Notice the anchor claims there are "a thousand" there while the reporter who did the story says it was "thousands"…

Video shot yesterday at 4:45 pm. Go here to view a live feed of the ongoing protest.
the following statement is from the Occupy Wall Street website.
We need to retake the freedom that has been stolen from the people, altogether.
  1. If you agree that freedom is the right to communicate, to live, to be, to go, to love, to do what you will without the impositions of others, then you might be one of us.
  2. If you agree that a person is entitled to the sweat of their brows, that being talented at management should not entitle others to act like overseers and overlords, that all workers should have the right to engage in decisions, democratically, then you might be one of us.
  3. If you agree that freedom for some is not the same as freedom for all, and that freedom for all is the only true freedom, then you might be one of us.
  4. If you agree that power is not right, that life trumps property, then you might be one of us.
  5. If you agree that state and corporation are merely two sides of the same oppressive power structure, if you realize how media distorts things to preserve it, how it pits the people against the people to remain in power, then you might be one of us.
Here are a few of the posters they put up to announce the occupation (click on image for larger view). You can see a collection of them here.
