White Rose Coalition Activists Gather This Saturday to Finalize Rose Parade Protest Plans

Peter Thottam, Executive Director of the Los Angeles National Impeachment Center (LANIC), reports that preparation for the upcoming 2008 Rose Parade anti-war, pro-impeachment protest by the White Rose Coalition is in high gear.

The last planning and organizational meeting before the Rose Parade protest is on this Saturday 12/29/07, from 2 PM to 5 PM, at the Peace/Impeachment Center, 8124 W. 3rd St. (by Crescent Heights & 3rd St.), Beverly Hills, CA 90048.

Peter continued: "We were delighted to have between 60 to 70 people come over the course of this past Saturday's meeting. That was up dramatically from 25 just the week before. People love the visual props we've assembled including the preamble (Giant 1/2 block long copy of the Constitution) and the 4 "CHAIN GANG" giant heads w/ prison uniforms. The White Rose Coalition's (WRC) volunteer levels and commitments are building very nicely."
