Aprl 22nd, 2007 Feet To the Fire
Starting Sunday April 22 nd F.A.I.R. aka Federation for American Immigration Reform http://www.fairus.org kicked off their 4 day conference and lobby quest with a rally in Lafayette Park across from the White House. About 300-500 people showed up to express their concerns and anger over what they see as an open border and illegal immigration problem.
The rally was organized and funded by D.A King of the Dustin Inman Society http://www.thedustininmansociety.org
There were also a small feisty group of counter protesters of about 25 who were mostly from the group SDS
At times there were a few fired up exchanges between the two groups and at moments there were also some calm and rational discussions
The event was followed on Monday with a day of citizen lobbying and that evening with a viewing of the movie “Border” by actor Chris Burgard http://www.bordermovie.com/ which had a few words to open by G Gordon Liddy.
Tuesday, April 24 th there was a press conference organized by Roger Hedgecock who had such speakers as Rep. Tom Trancredo (R. Colorado ) and the wives of jailed border agents http://www.pardontheagents.com/
That Tuesday evening there was a reception to help with the legal fund for the agents, but by the time they got there they claimed it was “sold out” and they refused to let in any press..blah..blah..whatever…
Still, all and all I think I did get enough images to cover the event and show the public yet another grassroots rally that the mainstream media probably has not presented to this extent.
Until the next rally,
PEACE OUT!
