WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of people protesting what they say is corporate greed and the role of money in politics on Wednesday shut down Washington’s K Street, known as the home of lobbying in the nation’s capital.

The protesters, inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, came from across the country and gathered under a steady rain. One demonstrator, Teresa Law, 50, of Springfield, Ohio, said she came to protest against corporate America and because jobs that the government promised to create have not been created.
