ALBANY, N.Y. -- The Occupy Albany group has said they'll be out, no matter what Mother Nature decides to bring. They're even hoping to increase their number with protesters from across the state.

Albany protesters gathered for a march on Saturday, as well as an art events, speak-outs and community teach-ins.

They said the gathering isn't to make any kind of formal decisions for the overall group, but to serve as a forum to hear from members of other Occupy groups.

Congressman Paul Tonko said this protest is an American opportunity for the Middle Class to speak out and make a difference.

Rep. Paul Tonko said, "I think what it is is that they're exercising their given rights in this nation to express concern and a high degree of urgency to move forward with a progressive agenda that enables those of us in the middle class to be relieved of some of the consequences and poor policy that has guided the country."

Assemblyman Jack McEneny's speech was interrupted by a veteran during the event. The veteran spoke out against the movement, demanding to know how many occupiers call their legislator's on a weekly basis.

Police were called to the scene, but no arrests were made.
