#Occupy the Highway, drawing a line between Wall Street and Washington is reaching its destination on time. Having spent the night in College Park, Maryland, some two dozen foot-sore marchers are scheduled to reach McPherson Square about noon today to hold a news conference before heading to the Capitol.
Reports, mainly from the Associated Press, are being featured in multiple media. The most recent from "The Hill"
'Occupy the highway' group to arrive in DC

A group of Occupy Wall Street protesters is concluding a march on Tuesday from New York City to Washington that it is calling "Occupy the Highway."
also notes that the Super Committee, whose report the group was hoping to highlight, has failed.
Liz Flock, who followed the marchers for the Washington Post, does a summary article here.
Almost two weeks ago, 21 Occupy Wall Street protesters decided to take the movement on the road, in a march from New York’s Zuccotti Park to the White House. Their goal: to spread the movement to the 12 cities and small towns they would pass through along the way, and to protest the supercommittee’s likely decision to retain Bush tax cuts “for the rich,” or “one percent.” I met the protesters at their first stop in Elizabeth, N.J. and walked with them most of the way. This is the story of our hike:
The protesters embarked on the 231-mile-trek with a $3,000 check from Occupy Wall Street. But the marchers soon found they didn’t need the money, as they received donations of food and cash, cigarettes and deodorant from local residents and passersby. Occupy movements also sprang up or grew larger in their wake in places such as New Brunswick and Trenton, N.J.
It's really quite amazing how much has changed since they started walking. No wonder the traditional media can hardly keep up. So, we have to rely on the artists.
