Mitt Romney Frankenstein, Occupy Philly

In Albums: Occupy Philly

This photo shows a picture of the Frankenstein monster, labeled Mitt Romney. This picture was attached to a tree at the Occupy Philly protest.

Interestingly, there is a sticker attached to this picture which has been filled in so that it reads: Freedom to be Mormon, courtesy of the Constitution. These signs, which are like little name-tags, have been provided by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

I find it interesting that, although this protest is viewed by many to have a predominately liberal slant or flavor to it, the sign here is standing up for the right of Mitt Romney, a Republican candidate, to practice his religion. Mitt Romney has come under fire from right-wing Christian candidates because of his religion, which is not always respected by all sects of fundamentalist Christianity.
