it's all today. organizers calling on customers who put their money out of the so-called big banks and shift them to the smaller community banks for credit unions. the bank transfer started with a california woman and her anger at the big banks. >> i started the idea myself. it began as a facebook event that i sent to 500 of mirror closest friends. educating them to the powerful impact credit unions can have on our local community. and from there, they invited 500 and they invited 500. so now we are a team with nearly 42,000 supporters in less than two weeks. big banks for far too long have mismanaged funds and utilized unethical business practices. so it's time that we vote with our dollar and republic restore local communities. >> let's turn to overseas now. up to 100,000 protesters are expected in the streets of rome, voicing their opposition to the government of italian prime minister sylvia berlusconi amid

a growing economic crisis. italians are angry over strong austerity measures there. beryl skonny could face a vote of confidence next week. hours after barely surviving a confidence vote, greece's prime minister, george papandreou, is now trying to put forward another vote. i asked you earlier, some guy in greece, the prime minister, he got a confidence vote. what does that mean to me? >> yep. well, he survived the confidence vote. then they triedç to put a government together to try to pass this austerity package that was agreed last week with the imf and the european union. if that doesn't happen, if greece defaults, then you could have a lehman style disaster with the banks and with the economy here. that's the worst case scenario. so greece has to get its house

in order. this parliament has got to vote through the austerity package and then we should be able to see europe not go into recession. if europe goes into recession, then that would mean the u.s. would likely go into recession, too. that's the bottom line. >> jim, are they on the right track now? he gets past this confidence vote and then you take up this package deal and get rid of 50% of the greek debt. so are we on the right road that made it to the top of the maybe there's some light at the hour. end of this tunnel? this louisiana guy has a reason to be excited. >> exactly, yeah. he needs to thank a local every time we say that we're on cashier for screwing up. the right road, something else she made a mistake on his happens. we said last wednesday we were lottery ticket. but that mistake got him 800 on the right road because that's when the big plan was agreed in brussels and then it fell apart grand. the guy thinks he once $200,000 because of this prime minister. with this powerball ticket. he now has to put the government the cashier put him in for the together. power play, which means more whether he stays at prime minister, frankly, i don't think money, so he gets a million matters. whatever government comes out of instead of the $200,000. greece, out of athens, he has to thank you for doing the job wrong. convince the people here who let's turn to oklahoma where have gone through so much pain. a man has taken his love --

millions of voters. this morning talked to a civil rights attorney. she told me voter fraud is not a big concern across the country. >> this is actually the most wide scale rollback of voting rights we have seen in over a century in this country. they are requiring one type of itch d. in fact, there's an estimated 21 million americans that don't have state-issued photo id. they say this is about voter fraud. you are more likely to be struck by lightning than find a case of voter fraud. voting is a right. this isn't like getting on a plane or buying sudafed, which is a privilege you have if you have money. we're talking about undermining democracy, cutting off participation. voting should be something simple because it is the most fundamental part of our democracy. in fact, by federal law, you can go in to vote by using multiple

forms of id. what's wrong with utility bill, work id. there are many other kinds of id and it shouldn't be boiled down to this one restrictive id. >> i also talked to a representative of the heritage foundation, talking about this same topic. they believe voter id laws are important to put in place. i asked him where did he see voter fraud taking place across the country that justifies states changing laws. >> i can't give you an inventory here today. i've written about a lot of case studies on various kinds of voter fraud. i would refer you two weeks ago, arthur davis, former bl the jury has the weekend off after not being able to reach a verdict in the man slaughter of michael jackson's doctor. >> t.j., 7 1/2 hours of deliberation and no verdict.

we do know a jury of seven men and five women asked to see some evidence. clearly, they are going through the case on some level. but, of course, i don't know if -- are they agreeing with it? are they taking a vote? are they sort of going through some of the testimony and some of the high points by subject in the trial? we don't know. they've been together for 20 plus days in court, so they know each other well. you get the feeling that they get along well. clearly, that will help them in the jury room. we do know what they're planning on doing in terms of speaking afterwards. we do understand that they will be given that option if they want to. clearly, a lot of people who have been following this trial would love to know what they were thinking during the trial and during this deliberation process. we had a lot of people out here on friday and i suspect they will all be back on monday along

with the jurors. >> thanks to our ted rollins there. we turn next to the occupy movement, adding to some pretty big names. names you know like reverend jesse jackson. he's talking about how this new movement can use lessons learned from the civil rights movement. that is next. shrimp today at red lobster. as much as you like any way you like, all for $15.99. offer ends soon. my name is angela trapp, and i sea food differently. some folks call me a rock star, some call me the mayor... and i love it. and, i make everybody happy. i keep my business insurance with the hartford because... they came through for me once, and i know they've got my back. for whatever challenges come your way... the hartford is here to back you up. helping you move ahead... with confidence. meet some of our small business customers at: thehartford.com/business i don't think about the unknown... i just rock n' roll.

reverend jesse jackson, ambassador andrew young. some heavyweight names from the civil rights movement are

offering support and advice to the occupy movement. reverend jackson talked to me a short time ago. >> in many ways, this is a new version of dr. king's last effort. his miss was to occupy the wall in washington, d.c. he thought the bomb dropped in vietnam. further we argued if we kept giving more and more privileges to the wealthy and dr. king called that moral and spiritual bankruptcy. we fight those same charges, t.j. more and more, very expensive

wars and poverty on the expansion. >> are they getting results yet, the occupy movement? >> first, the attention, we were discussing politics for a change. secondly, last week we saw the banks back down off of it. banks have been making money off of origination of loans. they made money off of property mortgage joosh. they made money off of the excessive fais phase, off of foreclosures. they have made money over money over mope. i might add, credit card debt because of the oppressive schemes of, in fact, obstructing education. >> to talk about it and get the attention, but at some point, is the occupy movement going to have to get more organized to get results? frankly, we're seeing some ugly

cities, including in oakland. >> but the common thing is economic prosperity. the income got the best of things. that incident in open did not really describe the movement with economic justice. that movement stood between them. dr. king was leading the march on collective bargaining for sanitation workers who took the alumnists. the media would rather cover the bricks than the banks. this is about bank behavior. it's where they have options to learn and invest. they had huge bottles of foreclosed homes, trenches and communities. >> all right. 23 minutes past the hour now. coming up next, man kind traveling to mars.

the mission just wrapped up. they are back from their mission, kind of sort of make believe mission. we'll explain, though. it was still a major feat. steak burger soup.

but these other health factors can also contribute to plaque buildup. so if you have high cholesterol and any of these other health factors... it's even more important to get your cholesterol where your doctor wants. talk to your doctor about crestor. when diet and exercise alone aren't enough... adding crestor can lower bad cholesterol by up to 52%. and crestor is proven to slow plaque buildup in arteries. crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease... or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. simple blood tests will check for liver problems. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking... or if you have muscle pain or weakness. that could be a sign of serious side effects. ask your doctor about high cholesterol... plaque buildup... and if crestor is right for you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

it's close to the bottom of the hour now. we've got some amazing news here. man kind has finally made the trip to mars. the russian space shuttle has landed, what, not too long ago?

you didn't hear about this? maybe hard to believe. in truth, what happened here? this was an experiment, an earth bound experiment. i talked about this mission earlier with our editorial producer. she'll explain. >> it watts a simulated mission to mars. and they took it very seriously. these six cosmonauts stayed together. one was french, one was italian, one was chinese. the chinese cosmonaut is somebody who trains individuals. they took this experiment very, very serious. >> exactly.

and it would take a year and a half, so it took the exact amount of time and simulated the experience, living in close quarters. they lived in a comesul about the size of a bus. they have a living area and they lived like that without going anywhere for the entire time. >> was this more of a mental experiment than -- >> well, they couldn't simulate the gravity. but everything else, being in a confined space. halfway through the experiment, they landed on a stomach ewe lated land pit and they got to do various experiments during the time. one of the gentleman who was on the trip got married two weeks before he went on the mission. >> i assume she knew. >> she must have nope. and yesterday, they were released, so to speak, but not publicly.

they have to undergo a lot of tests. what does a being in a confined space for a year and a half actually do? when they tried this in about 2000, it ended in a drunken brawl. because they had a female astronaut, they landed trying to kiss her. this time, there were only men. they didn't want to be the big brother trying to do experiments. and where do we go to mars? i wonder where you'll be when the first person lands on mars? i wonder where i'll be. >> we'll be sitting right here talking about the mission, the fake mission from 30 years ago. we're at the bottom of the hour here on cnn saturday morning now. there's more than a quarter million people in connecticut without power. i should say still without power. more than a week they've been without. and it's cold right now, folks. what is the utility company saying and what are they promising the customers? that's ahead.

cbs news commentator has died weeks after making his last regular appearance on 60 memberships. he considered himself an average guy. his colleague leslie staal called his our put orrat. >> the interesting thing about andy is he pretended to be this occur messageon, but he really wasn't. i was right next kitty cornered to him on the seventh floor at cbs. he was the nicest, sweetest guy you could ever peek out to imagine. >> the person you saw on television was the real person. nothing that andy ever did was an act. he absolutely -- as you know, never tempered his thoughts. he said what he believed. and the other thing i think that

people should remember is that he was really a great writer and he was extremely proud of that. never boastful, never boastful to admit it about anything. but very proud of the talent and i think that pride really can through. congratulations. today, the city of charlotte can use verizon technology to inspire businesses to conserve energy and monitor costs. making communities greener... congratulations. ... and buildings as valuable to the bottom line... whoa ! ... as the people inside them. congratulations. because when you add verizon to your company, you don't just add, you multiply. ♪ discover something new... verizon. two of the most important are energy security

we're on the path to the national championship. that's the kind of hopes i have. >> that's huge. >> that's huge. >> if you were to ask me who i'm going to pull for, i'm an auburn tiger, so for me to make a choice, it's almost like choosing between scabies and -- you don't want to pull for either one of these. i've got friends on both sides. but you're right, it's going to be a big matchup. >> weather is not going to be a problem, right? >> for alabama and lsu, it should be okay. kickoff is going to be at 8:00 p.m. wind is east at 5 miles per hour. both these team are so incredibly talented, weather, you want perfect weather. it looks like it's going to hold up just fine for this game. however, there are a lot of other interesting matchups where the conditions might not be so great. when you go to arkansas, on the face of it, it is arkansas number seven against south carolina. t.j., a razorback is very

interested in this game. looks pretty good. that wind is going to play a huge facts factor. let's make our way more to the west. stanford and oregon state. stanford, undefeated so far, playing tonight in the rain in corvallis. that could be interesting, as well. we're going to go to norm y'allan, oklahoma. check this out. temperatures, 635 degrees. imagine this game going late into the fourth quarter. a field goal kicker having to make a long field goal with gusts going to possibly 35, maybe even 40. that could be tough. very interesting forecast. we'll right back over to you, t.j. if you're a football fan, certainly a lot of games to watch. early games, michigan, we didn't get a chance to talk about michigan and michigan. iowa is playing today, autos a good matchup. that looks pretty good. >> nice tie. >> kind of cute one, but not bad. fall is the most wonderful
