In the middle of delivering a keynote address, Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Postal Service Patrick Donahoe was interrupted by Occupy DC protesters calling on him to resign, angry over pensions and warning against privatization of the post office.
“Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donahoe has got to go,” chanted the protestors at the National Press Club on Monday. “Don’t privatize the post office. It’s a public service. It’s not a profit center for FedEx and UPS to rip off the people. Return the overpaid pension funds. … Stop closing post offices.”
...
Outside of the building, protesters yelled, “This is what democracy looks like” and “We are the 99 percent.”
