IMPEACH!
Grant County Peace Coalition /
4th of July Parade 2007 / Silver City, NM
Grant County Peace Coalition has participated in the
Grant County 4th of July Parade since 2004 - the year following Shock &
Awe and the start
of the Bush / Cheney, and thus, tragically, America's criminal War of
Aggression against Iraq.
GCPC's
first entry into the parade, with what might be called heartlfelt but
generic peace signs and an ad-hoc assembly of pro-peace advocates, was
mostly greeted by extensive boos, hisses, and pro war frenzy. The
glaring absence of any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq had been fully
confirmed but had not yet penetrated an American consciousness
relentlessly bombarded by Faux News and an administration that ruthlessly
manipulated intelligence - and the minds of it's citizens - to instill the
false belief that Sadaam Hussein was the progenitor of 911 and a clear and
present danger to the very existence of the United States.
In
the 2006 parade, GCPC's determination to speak truth to
power found more focused expression in it's theme of "Hostages of
US Policy" as well as a remakable positive shift in the reaction
of the parade observers that paralled the consensus of all polling and
national observations - that the American public had shifted essentially
from 2/3 or more support for the war against Iraq to 2/3 or more against
it. This was further confirmed by the results of the November 2006
elections - a referendum on the war which gave Democrats
a"majority"
in the US House and Senate. However this was neutered by Speaker
Pelosi's position that "impeachment is off the table."
In
the 2007 parade, GCPC focused their mesage on a single word -
IMPEACH! Despite the voluminous evidence and outright admissions of
law breaking by Bush, the Congress continues to refuse to perform it's
sworn duty to defend the constitution and Bush, Cheney, et al continue to
violate the law and undermine the institutions of democracy - with one
exception...
