Anti-war protestests taken over by pro-war Sean Hanady fans
Anti-War protests at the corner of Imperial Hwy and Brea BLVD. were taken over by right-wing, flag waving , pro-war Bush Supporters. Between 10 and 20 activist having been gathering there on Saturday and Sunday between 12pm and 6Pm for the past few months.
We are dedidcated peace activist who face alot of abuse and ridicule in this area of racisist Suv driving, conservative republicans. People throw things at us, give us the bird, try to run us over and shout intelegent things like,"nukem all" or Fuck Sudam. They even threaten us with violence.
But I could not belive what I saw last Saturday when I got to the intersection at 12pm. There were atleast 25 pro-war demonstartors not just at our corner but at all four corners of the intersection. All of them waving flags and signs that said kill Sadam and remember 9-11. I found out that a right wing talk show host named Sean Hanady on radio station KABC 790am told his fans to go to the intersection and take it over.
It was a real drag because we wound up arguing with them all day and it really killed our normally high spirits. Also they totaly outnumbered us. But get this, here is the ironic part. Sean Hanady is going to be doing his show live next thursday, 2-27-03, 12 pm at the rehdondo beach performing arts theater. This would be a great opportunity for an action. I think we need to stand up to this doctrine of hate a pro-war redoric being broadcast on a daily basis on our air waves, especially when they come after us.
I am asking all peace activist to come to the brea anti-war demonstration next weekend and help us hold on to our little corner of resistance and stand up to these ignoratnt fools.
United we Stand! (we can use there little slogans as well)
Please e-mail me if you need any assistance getting there or more info. Lets build a movement and stand in solidarity against the war machine
