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...
Please note, the audio version is shortened to remove long
passages of crowd noise.
Ben Altamirano passed away on 12/27/2007, not 2008 as shown in
