Loud Protesters Occupy Quiet New Canaan | The Daily Fairfield: "NEW CANAAN, Conn. – Daisy Franklin of Norwalk was among the nearly 100 protesters who went to the New Canaan home of General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt on Saturday to take part in the first known Occupy Wall Street rally in Fairfield County.
"I worked in a small Norwalk manufacturing company for 15 years until it was forced to shut down a year ago," Franklin, 55, told the crowd, using a bullhorn.
"Now, I get by on less than $200 a week of unemployment for me and my daughter. When you run out of money, you run out of options. So, if you're hungry, you just try and wait until the next check shows up."
