Grand Old Days
Sunday, June 4th, 2006
Jodin and another IfP organizer showed up at the corner of Oxford
and Grand at 10:30 a.m. to hand out leaflets advertising IfP and
the Do-it-Yourself
impeachment memorial. Jodin was dressed in the outfit of Guantanimo
Bay detainees, complete with chain, black hood, and orange jumpsuit.
The parade commenced, and as it went by, many members
of the crowd waved supportively, showing enthusiasm for the IfP
cause. After the parade finished, members of the crowd began milling
about and visiting booths and vendors, giving the protesters the
opportunity to spread their message. The organizers passed out leaflets
while calling out phrases such as “Support out troops — impeach
the president!” and “Impeachment is patriotic.”
Eventually, the other organizer had to leave, but Jodin continued
to pass out leaflets.
Unfortunately, however, Jodin was not allowed to continue protesting
due to an interaction with the police. In collaboration with the
ACLU, possible legal responses are being investigated. Due to such
considerations, we will withhold comment for the time being.
