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.
