Low protester turnout blamed on location and finances

The Occupy Wall Street group has been set up at Camp Romneyville, which is protester-central located several blocks away from the Forum.

A bus full of Occupiers from New York arrived Wednesday but several other states were a no-show.

One of the organizers of Romneyville said they expected hundreds of people from all over the U.S. but then it just fizzled out.

"We get a lot of response as this; ‘we would love to be there, but we can't afford to come down into Florida. It's too far away. It's far away from everything. We have no money. We barely have jobs to survive ourselves' and that's what we're getting. The working poor, the people that want to help us can't come down here,” said John Alexander.

Well Duh, stop and think about what you said.
