ONE MAN RALLY

When I heard there was a worldwide protest for peace instead of war, I decided I should do what I can right here in Park County to promote peace. So I held a Rally for Peace.

Getting the word out rather late, I was not surprised when no one joined me. What did surprise me was the heavy police presence. There must have been five deputies, maybe more, driving around me for three hours. They were doing surveillance from hilltops around me, etc. I was wondering if maybe I missed the announcement of a Presidential motorcade, Foreign Ambassador visit or something. Finally, I determined they actually were there to watch me. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!

Five plus deputies, for three plus hours, to keep watch on one guy, standing on a corner, holding a sign that read "PEACE NOW". A little overkill, don't you think? This is the same Police department that had NO time to investigate a violent Burglary and Vandalism in 1999 and again in 2000. Oh yeah, I was the victim, and I would still like some assistance on this you guys!

Furthermore, Americans have been misled about Peace activists. Since we disagree with the establishment's approach to world problems, we have been demonized, and completely misrepresented. Because we have facts about the government and military to share that most people are not aware of, we must be discredited, lest the truth be known!

The stories you here about violence, e.g. WTO rally in Seattle, etc. After closer investigation we find that in every instance, the violence was perpetrated by a handful of misguided individuals or by agent provocateurs sent in by the Fed's. These people DO NOT represent those of us who would merely like to see peaceful solutions to the world's problems. Please take the time to get to know one of us and I'm sure you'll agree.
