It might be a rainy day outside in D.C. today, but at the Senate, a group of protestors made it rain inside…by throwing a bunch of money around in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building.

According to U.S. Capitol Police Public Information Officer Shennell Antrobus, three demonstrators were arrested at about 1:00 p.m., charged with “Crowding, Obstructing & Incommoding.” Witnesses say that they reportedly dropped a big bag of money and began throwing it around.

And here are some videos of the protesters dancing around in the money, and then the poor chap who had to sweep it all up:

The protesters are reportedly part of the Occupy Monsanto group—a group of activists who speak out against Monsanto, a publicly traded American multinational Chemical, and Agricultural Biotechnology corporation.
