MARQUETTE -- Protesters continue to rally the streets of Marquette as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement.  On Saturday, people gathered in front of the Wells Fargo Bank on Third Street in Marquette.

They say the bank is part of the international corporation that pours money into politicians.  Most call for an end to unethical business practices and the influence of corporate greed on democracy.

Protesters say bad weather will not shut down the rallies.

"I was in Detroit last weekend, and it was pouring rain, 45 degrees sideways, and we were sleeping on the ground in tents," said NMU student Amber Lopota.

"People are willing to do whatever it takes, at this point; this is the time where we're all coming together for this objective, and I don't think anything is going to stop us."

Protesters say they will coordinate the next time and location on Facebook.
