the term "Charlie Card" originates from a song (see site below) about a man
named Charlie who gets stuck on the subway. The song was originally
recorded as a mayoral campaign song for Progressive
Party<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Party_(United_States,_1948)>
candidate Walter A. O'Brien<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_A._O%27Brien>
. Maybe this can inform some people's ideas for protesting.
