Supporters of presidential hopeful U.S. Rep Ron Paul (R-TX) attempt to block Occupy Wall Street protesters who are disrupting a campaign event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Dec. 28, 2011 in Des Moines, Iowa. With less than one week to go before the Iowa caucuses, Ron Paul is trying to maintain his lead as he campaigns through Iowa.
WHO-TV reports: About 150 protesters occupied Romney's campaign offices on Ingersoll near 29th Street late Wednesday afternoon.
Seven people were arrested for criminal trespassing. The rest of the protesters then made their way to Wells Fargo Bank down the street, where three people were arrested.
The group says it’s protesting a $62,000 donation made by the bank to the Romney campaign.

Wow what a horrible way to get your message across. This is why so many people see OWS as spoiled brats.
they look like middle class hard working taxpayers to me maybe you should take a good look and see who they really are
WOW- I am an Occupy supporter who was at Romney's office office today. Our group invited all of the Presidential candidates, including Romney and Paul to come to talk with us as they are doing with multiple groups across the state of Iowa. They refused so we are seeking to have some of our questions answered by going to them . One of the things that we wanted to find out today was why Romney, as a candidate for the presidency, has refused to release his income tax returns .
Good point. Romney's tax returns will reveal if he pays taxes in the state where he is registered to vote (Massachusetts has income tax, New Hampshire has none) or where he ACTUALLY LIVES. Voter fraud is a big issue for repugs and I demand answers!
Occupy might want to google the search terms: ORGANIZED CRIME TEA PARTY, or KOCH-MURDOCH-AXIS. They have the news media microphones this week and they might want to SAY on the news what the "NEWS" is not saying.
