On New Years Day, thanks to the 2008 White Rose Coalition (WRC), a GIANT rendering of the Preamble to the Constitution was carried at the end of the Rose Parade by American patriots in the PEOPLE'S PARADE FOR DEMOCRACY. Accompanying the Preamble was Backbone Campaign's famed chain-gang bobble-heads of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice, adorned in prison garb with chains and teeny balls. See a video of Bobble Heads in action.
The 2008 White Rose Coalition is a convergence of patriots from pro-peace/pro-impeachment organizations across the nation, including the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center (LANIC), CODEPINK, Troops Out Now, World Can't Wait, ANSWER, Progressive Democrats of America, the Green Party, Veterans For Peace, United For Peace and Justice, The Backbone Campaign, Office Of The Americas, Brave New Films, and more. They have assembled under the banner of the White Rose Coalition in tribute to the resistance movement in Munich in 1942. Coalition members will use a wide variety of visuals during the Rose Parade broadcast to push the urgency to END THE WAR & IMPEACH GEORGE BUSH AND DICK CHENEY!
The 2008 WRC is the brainchild of Los Angeles attorney, Peter Thottam. A former Green Party candidate for California Assembly and Director of LANIC, Thottam has assembled a stellar array of progressive leaders to march in The PEOPLE'S PARADE. They include Camp Casey Peace Institute founder and San Francisco Congressional Candidate, Cindy Sheehan, CODEPINK Co-founder, Jodie Evans, CODEPINK human rights activist, Tighe Barry, who was recently arrested in Pakistan for challenging Musharraf's martial law, and Marcy Winograd, President of Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles and 2006 Congressional candidate for California's 36th District.
THE PEOPLE'S PARADE began at approximately 10:30AM (Pacific Time) and wound down Colorado Boulevard, ending at the steps of Pasadena City Hall. There, Cindy Sheehan and others held a press conference on impeachment and the war on Iraq.
Since Speaker of the House Pelosi and her Congress have failed to honor their Constitutional duty to initiate impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney, and Congress continues to fund the war on Iraq, the pro-America White Rose Coalition believes it is time for Americans to take the most visible and proactive roles possible to return the nation to its democratic principles.
With the bipartisan passage of H.R. 1955, the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act of 2007, and its Senate clone, S. 1959 pending passage in February, it appears the effort to undermine the First Amendment is well underway.
As a consequence, the White Rose Coalition ushered in election year '08 with overwhelming visibility to advance THE PEOPLE'S cause: END THE WAR & IMPEACH GEORGE BUSH AND DICK CHENEY!
