Protesters outside a major conservative conference in Washington might be pocketing some part-time pay out of it.
One demonstrator at the Conservative Political Action Conference told the Daily Caller that a local sheet metal workers union approached him about the gig, offering $60.

Occupy DC protesters were also participating in the "Occupy CPAC" events this week.
