Occupy groups takes 'golden calf' to US Congress

Some 30 "Occupy DC" protesters took their anti-corporate demonstration to the corridors of the US Congress, toting a "golden calf" made from papier mache to symbolise lawmakers' subservience to moneyed interests. The protest, according to group leader Jeremy John, aimed to call attention to "the worship of money" by the US legislature.
"Our political process worships money instead of serving the people," he said. The protesters could not leave their golden calf at an office building for legislators near the Capitol as planned, but instead left a written declaration.
