I haven't seen any numbers.
Just a few rag tag groups of people in various parks on TV and web sites. Sure, a couple local unions backed the group, but just in small numbers.
You should really take a census. Show Congress just how much attention they should pay to you.
By my calculations:
Actual protesters: 0.003% of the American population (10,000 out of 300,000,000)
Supporters: 30% of the American population, which is around 100,000,000 people
Against: 39% of the American population, which is around 120,000,000 people.

People camping in the park or hitting "like" on facebook?
All the "meeting places".....FB doesn't count imho
I read on maybe it was the Huffington Post site or one of those that the count is like 10,000 from east to west (the USA). That's not a lot compared to our country's pop of over 300 mil.

Sorry to say but would you choose one surgical procedure over another without the numbers? I am not ready to throw support for any group with no accountability and statistical data. This has led me to voting for nobody if I can't reconcile myself with anyone.
Congress cronies arent legitimate.
