This Occupy America movement brought to you by the Spite House.

But it’s curtains for President Stompy Foot’s shutdown theater.
Families from around the nation have tossed aside cones at Badlands National Park, jumped the Barrycades at Zion National Park, and now, they’re soaking up history at Gettysburg National Military Park in defiance of the Obama administration’s politically-driven obstacles.
People started to join unorganized caravans around Gettysburg NMP. Strength in numbers.

Over the weekend, one Twitter user snapped photos of Americans taking in Gettysburg memorials and monuments. The note in these pics reads “Catch us if you can.”
