LaRouche Volunteers Posted At 562 Washington St.

Table set up at corner where Washington, Central Streets meet.

Volunteers for the LaRouche Political Action Committee,  who have been staking out the Wellesley Hills Post Office off and on since May, set up on the sidewalk outside Tails Doggie Boutique this morning.

In May, volunteers from the PAC urged voters to support a return to financial regulations imposed by the Glass-Steagall Banking Act of 1933.

The act, which separates financial and commercial banking, was repealed in 1999. Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and John McCain (R-AZ) had sponsored an amendment to the recently passed finance reform legislation that would restore the 1933 separation.

One of the posters the group has used to advertise their view features a picture of President Barack Obama wearing a short moustache similar to the one worn by Adolph Hitler. The poster bears the same image as the logo for the LaRouche PAC's "Obama-Watch" campaign, which argues to impeach the president. 

Today's volunteer, sporting a tricorn hat, had set up a table with a poster reading "Pull over, stop Obama." There did not appear to be much room in which passing motorists could comply.
