Stormy weather kept "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations quiet in New York, but not in the rest of the country.
Correspondent Rick Sallinger of station KCNC in Denver reports that protesters in that city have occupied a park right in front of the state capitol.
"I want things to change in the Congress," said Michael Misenti, an Occupy Denver protester. "I want the President's jobs bill to pass."
The demonstration in Denver has calmed down from the chaos of the day before.

Police arrested 20 protestors Saturday after they marched onto the capitol grounds and ignored orders to leave.

Denver police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
